Poetry Book Launched on KRR FM From the Mud to the Stars

Book Launch for The Peacemaker’s Lamp held on community radio KRR FM on 17th May 2020

Owing to the Pandemic and consequent restrictions on gatherings we sought a new approach for the celebration and launch of the new book of poems, The Peacemaker’s Lamp by Terry Yates. Taking advantage of the weekly music program From the Mud to the Stars on KRR FM Kandos, we decided that it would be a radio-based book launch. And rather than it being all speeches and one person reading the poems the call was put out to friends and family across Australia and overseas to record poems from the book and email the sound files for inclusion in the show. The other element that turned the launch into a program with a high audience response was the work of various musicians who recorded brief instrumentals to be played between poems.

This was exciting radio: An event based on a book of poems, and recordings made, then emailed, collected, playlisted, put to air, responded to and now uploaded to this website. As a response to a changing social situation and using available resources this book launch had its own unique narrative of production. “Well met, well met, little Peacemaker’s Lamp, May you inspire all who dwell in your light.”

Here are some of the Poems:

You can purchase “The Peacemaker’s Lamp” here.

Radio - from the Mud to the Stars

From The Mud To The Stars

The Title: From the Mud to the Stars

When Jerry Garcia died in 1995 Rolling Stone magazine (October ’95) published tributes from musicians and artists. Here’s part of what Bob Dylan said of Jerry:

There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player… He was that great – much more than a superb musician with an uncanny ear and dexterity. He is the very spirit personified of whatever is muddy river country at its core and screams up into the spheres” 

The Concept

From the Mud to the Stars is a three hour long music program played every second Saturday morning on community radio KRR 98.7. [Kandos and Rylstone, NSW, Australia]. Just as Dylan’s quote is inclusive of many forms of music, so too is the show. A typical program may begin with old country blues, earthy, “muddy” sounds, and gradually move into other forms such as soul, reggae, world, folk, alt country, electronic, ambient, jazz and into “stellar” sounds. The mix always varies, but tracks are as old as 1927 and as recent as last  week.

Here’s Dylan again, of Garcia: “There are a lot of spaces and advances between the Carter family, Buddy Holly and, say, Ornette Coleman, a lot of universes, but he filled them all without being a member of any school.”
