We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric,
but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.
Yeats
At some point in the future, Flowforth Productions would like to branch out from its musical realm into the
world of literary exploration. As a writer and literary academic, Daniel Staniforth likes to craft
"Sonic Poetscapes,” hybrid pieces that cloak the spoken word with an array of sound treatments -
anywhere from ethereal to disturbing. We are interested in exploring the synthesis of spoken word and
sound, working in tandem with like-minded writersto see what strange worlds we can create.
We welcome your suggestions and/or advice.
Some of Daniel Staniforth's poems have recently been published in:
Rogue Poetry Review
The Houston Literary Review
