The Poet

__The Poet__ describes an idea with images that are or can be spoken. We imagine this role as someone who creates spoken word, though the words can be represented in media of different forms.

# Sound

We are looking for layers of sound. Individual components that can be mixed, layered and composited in a variety of ways.
