Catharine Bramkamp and O’Cyrus

On the 2/12/25 Edition of Dr Andy’s Poetry and Technology Hour:

Catharine Bramkamp joins the show to discuss her role as a coach for other writers looking to publish their work. Bramkamp then shares how she has three different books coming out simultaneously, working with different publishers and media. Her work explores the women behind famous artists and ekphrastic poetry. She then shares a poem constructed through rearranging the works of Virginia Woolf, and another that uses words from James Joyce. The next guest on the show, O’Cyrus, outlines how he became a podcast host, writer, educator, and independent publisher.  O’Cyrus states that reading bedtime stories for his children helped reimmerse him into creative writing. He also discusses his military upbringing and the quintessential role his father played in shaping his work ethic, before sharing a poem titled “Fallen Angels.”

Catharine Bramkamp is a world traveler, poet and belly dancer. In her spare time she is a writing coach and workshop facilitator. She has authored 27 fiction, non-fiction and poetry books.
