MAN-MADE

From time to time, a slightly different kind of a poetry gig: 

this time at the University of Jyväskylä 

on 21st of August. 

Since it was an international forum and audience, 

the language was English. 

For the occasion I wrote a spoken word -poem, 

which was partially based on my old Valley Below -lyric. 

The gig left me with a good feeling, 

and when I got home, I recorded the poem, 

if nothing else, as a reminder. 

The reading of Man-made -poem is available 

on my YouTube channel, here:

The casual occasion was part of the conference entitled: 

 "Understanding the Dynamics of 

 Continuous Professional Development 

 in a Tech-Driven World". 

Of course, you consider whether your text has got anything 

to contribute on such a forum... 

however, based on the feedback, the poem 

possibly reached out for 

the central themes of the event.
