Synopsis

The Poeming Pigeon is a semi-annual journal of poetry, with each book having a unique theme. Our first three issues included poetry on the topic of birds, food and cannabis. For our fourth issue, we explore poems about music. 675 poets from across the globe answered the call to share their musically inspired poetry. We chose 88 poems—one for each key on a piano. Upon these pages you’ll discover poems inspired by genres ranging from classical to country, from jazz to rock-n-roll, and everything in between. Join us on a musical journey of discovery and nostalgia. And let the poetry tug on your heartstrings, like a virtuoso glides the bow across the strings of a violin. A sample poem the book: Blues, 1961 by Christopher Scribner (St Louis, MO) He’s Peter Chatman, Buddy-Boy, but goes by Memphis Slim. Tall lean commanding presence, boasts a mellow baritone of burnished brass, angry mournful resonations, slaps of racism give the rhythm. Sings the Mississippi water tastes like turpentine. Sings of Mother Earth’s relentless beckon, everybody equal in the end. Piano touch skitters, impassioned driving pulsing of the upper keys, black ones mostly, propelling the whole of it – humiliation, pain, atrocities, indignities of all sizes, experiences of this large dark man treated small. Filtered through his spirit to his fingertips to the ivories, before the time of keys no longer made of ivory – elephants afforded more concern and protection than he received. Hell and hardships would not cow him, but fuel the music. The skitter, energy born of hard times, defiant insistent vitality coursing through his spirit to his fingertips to the ivories, then through me, pounding a path of pain and passion, my white skin turning darker with a bruise throbbing still after the music ends.
