    Poetry in Utter Space (ft. Lillian Allen, Gary Barwin, and Gregory Betts)
    Jan 25 2026
    In this Season 10 finale of The Poet Speaks Podcast, host Amanda Eke sits with Muttertongue — Lillian Allen, Gary Barwin, and Gregory Betts — to explore poetry as sound, collaboration, and living archive.

    Their latest project, What Is a Word in Utter Space, is a sonic poetry LP that bends language beyond the page, inviting listeners into a layered soundscape where voice, rhythm, and experimentation converge. Together, we discuss the making of the album, the power of collective creation, and how poetry can exist as frequency, memory, and resistance.

    This conversation moves through questions of utterance and listening, art as collaboration, and what it means to create poetry that refuses stillness. More than an interview, this episode is an experience — a closing reflection on a season rooted in culture, testimony, and imagination.
    Season 10 has been a journey of voices, histories, and futures. We close with resonance.

  • Poetry is Expression (ft. Tiriq Rashad)

    Poetry is Expression (ft. Tiriq Rashad)
    Dec 21 2025
    Check out Amanda's conversation with Tiriq Rashad!

    A proud native of Atlantic City and Pleasantville, or “Atlantic-Ville” as he affectionately calls it, Tiriq Rashad draws deeply from his roots to craft a narrative style steeped in resilience, authenticity, and empathy. With a master’s degree in social work and a calling to heal through words, he has built a body of work that speaks to the soul while confronting life’s most difficult truths. His previous literary works, including his memoir A Diamond In God’s Dirt and his debut poetry collection, shine through our shade: an evolution of self-love, have garnered praise from readers and critics alike, including legendary poet Nikki Giovanni, who lauded his ability to capture both the universal human experience and the nuanced struggles of African American life.

    His forthcoming album, Kiss My Art, is a soul-baring exploration of grief, healing, identity, and creative liberation. Rashad’s mastery of spoken word is complemented by lush arrangements of jazz and hip-hop, creating an immersive soundscape for his storytelling. From the album’s opening moments—anchored by the tender voicemail from his late mother—to the closing affirmation of strength in “Still Here,” every track is crafted to reveal resilience in the face of life’s storms. It is not just an album; it is a living memoir set to music, a testament to the courage it takes to feel, reflect, and grow.
