When Mr. Acosta aka Groove asked for recommendations of poetry, song, or literature related to tone & mood for his class at Jefferson High School, the first recording that came to mind was one I recorded years ago with award winning poet, actor, and writer Carlos Andrés Gómez.  The recording was conducted over a lanline phone at Cervantes Village for rotation on KRUX 91.5FM at New Mexico State University.  

I got the opportunity to do the recording thanks to poet activist & journalist, Monte Smith.  Having also conducted recordings & interviews with Monte, he had an army of other voices to recommend for our radio program.  As we continue to archive, recordings & interviews with Monte Smith will also be posted.  Much respect and thanks to Monte for his support during our radio dayz.

We've archived the 'Wordsworth' poetry recording on our VBW YouTube which you can listen to by clicking on the embedded player above, or the links.

About the VBW Justice Archive

The Voices Behind Walls (VBW) Justice Archive is a collection of audios, artworks, photographs, and writings archived on the following:

VBW Research Network Blog: vbwresearch.blogspot.com
VBW YouTube: youtube.com/voicesbehindwalls
VBW Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/vbehindw
VBW Website: voicesbehindwalls.blogspot.com

The purpose of the archive is to document VBW program history, specifically the creative expression of its participants and program partners.  Files of the VBW Justice Archive are resources for educators, youth, and the public to share.  We hope these files inspire new ideas and other creative expressions in all learning spaces.  The archive is especially to acknowledge the existence of its participants, a majority incarcerated youth,  who recorded into the VBW microphone between the decade of 2004 to 2014.  Hopefully you all find your way back to our page to reflect on your contribution to the VBW program.

The VBW Justice Archive began documenting its program history in 2014.  Audios will be posted periodically.  Updated will be posted at the links above including twitter.com/vbehindw.
