Half Mystic Radio

Half Mystic Press

Half Mystic Radio features one poet each episode, reading their work set to songs by independent musicians. All genres. All styles. Emerging and established artists both. Intimate and electric and ephemeral and known. This kind of art is what we came for: the wreck, and not the story of the wreck. The thing itself, and not the myth. http://halfmystic.com / #halfmysticspeaks
