| 1/15/26 |  Episode #141: The Sound and Silence of Poetry | In this episode, I reflect on sound and silence in poetry — how rhythm, repetition, and even quiet shape meaning on the page and in the voice.

This is a gentle invitation to notice sound as part of poetic practice, whether you read aloud, write visually, or linger in the spaces between words.Links: Tyrean's Tales WebsiteDark Blade Forged ebook for 99centsSpeculative Fiction BookfunnelChristian Fiction Bookfunnel | 17m 16s | ||||||
