There are some samples in the media section of my website, mainly from older recordings. Naturally I do it somewhat differently today. A couple weeks ago I read some of my pieces with backwards phrases in them forwards and then backwards to a class I gave a guest visit to. Big fun!
So that Jabberwocky project sounds wonderful! Where would I find it?

I often wonder how you approach reciting your poems to an audience- if indeed you did. They have a strong visual quality and can't quite imagine them being read aloud. I recently discovered a recording of "jabberwocky" the nonsense poem by Lewis carroll being recited backwards by a fellow who had learned how to do it. The tape is then played backwards so it comes out the right way, if you get my drift. The result is very eerie, like something from a David Lynch movie! I have put it in the files of the ma. network group if you know where to look. Michael
