Join us for the upcoming QLPORYT podcast on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, at 2:00 PM (PST)/5:00 PM (EST), featuring an interview with author and renowned poet Bill Cushing, as well as musician Chuck Corbisiero. Bill will also read excerpts from his riveting new book, "Heroic Brothers of the Civil War."

The book focuses on two brothers’ exploits fighting for the Union. "The Last Man" relates Lt. Alonzo Cushing's death during Gettysburg; he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2014 for his actions. "The First Seal" gives a comprehensive overview of the military life of his younger brother, William, a midshipman dismissed from Annapolis for his behavior but who was reinstated to the Navy at the war’s start to become one of its most daring heroes.

Returning to college after serving in the Navy and working on ships, he was called the “blue collar poet” by his peers at the University of Central Florida. He later earned an MFA from Goddard College. Published in journals and anthologies, online and in print, Bill has four complete collections; his first book, A Former Life, was honored by a Kops-Fetherling International Book Award; Music Speaks won Spectrum’s San Gabriel Valley chapbook award in 2019 and a New York City Book Award in 2021. His last chapbook , . . .this just in. . ., combines selected writings with visual art. Bill’s new book, Just a Little Cage of Bone, was released by Southern Arizona Press in February.

Bio

I am a 47 year old citizen of Botswana, Africa. I'm a General Practitioner /Medical Doctor by profession. My interest in Poetry is more spiritual as I find poetry as a medium that connects people at a spiritual level.

I didn't study Poetry, I found myself writing poetry every time I was in a certain state of mind. It's like poems just flow through me. I don't plan or research topics or themes, it's just dependent on events that are happening in my life or the world. In 2021, I published a Poetry book called "Love, Consciousness and Humanity: The Path of Silence: The Shadowless Dreamer."

Hello everyone,

I'm grateful for the support that made 2023 exceptional for the Quintessential Listening: Poetry Online Radio (QLPOR) podcast. As a unique poetry podcast, QLPOR is a leading name in the poetry podcast world, reaching over 150,000 individuals weekly through platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

In 2023, we achieved notable recognition, securing the third position on Feedspot's year-end list of the 90 most popular poetry podcasts worldwide (https://lnkd.in/eCQb5qVm) and ranking highly on Ivy.fm, Pocatr.com, and Player.fm's year-end compilations. Goodpods.com placed us second on their list of top poetry podcasts and fourth for motivational podcasts in December 2023.

A total of 88 podcast episodes were produced and broadcast on Blogtalkradio.com throughout the year. From conversational interviews with poets that explored the essence of poetry within the sphere of mind, heart, and soul, through celebrations of women poets during Women’s History Month, honoring Harlem Renaissance poets during Black History Month, observing a Poetry Remembrance of 9/11, focusing on the role poetry plays in mental health awareness, and hosting an author showcase with EYEPUBLISHEWE Book Publishers in 2023.

It's important to note that these are just a small sampling of the variety of episodes you can find at www.blogtalkradio.com/ql_p. QLPOR was started in 2018, and it is anticipated that soon there will be 400 podcasts available for listening pleasure. In 2023, the following top five episodes were listened to or downloaded the most:

Christy Sawyer, Jan 25, 2023 - http://tobtr.com/12187884.

Women in Poetry, Mar 15, 2023 - http://tobtr.com/12205536.

Genevieve Ray, Jan 14, 2023 - http://tobtr.com/12181908.

International Women's Day, Mar 8, 2023 - http://tobtr.com/12204201.

"Collective Voices" Now and Then, Mar 4, 2023 - http://tobtr.com/12201263.

As we look ahead to the year 2024, QLPOR ranks number two on the list of best podcasts in the poetry genre featured by Podcast Tonight (https://lnkd.in/eVmRNnzh...), and we have seen an increase in QLPOR's position in Feedspot's list (https://lnkd.in/eCQb5qVm).

Excitingly, our podcast has evolved into Quintessential Listening: Poetry Online Radio and YouTube (QLPORYT). This transformation aligns with YouTube's commitment to podcasts, allowing us to showcase poets through audio, live streaming, and video (see MP4).

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Submission Deadline: [September 6, 2023]
