“…never before has a spoken word album been released with such dazzling spirit and brain staining force. This is bound to set the standard for the genre forever.”
– WRITE BLOODY PUBLISHING

“Buddy Wakefield is one of the most beloved and respected figures in the U.S. and international Poetry Slam scene, and it is position he has earned through hard work, through his bright and beautiful spirit and by harnessing and sharpening a talent so boundless, audience can’t help but just gasp sometimes. Thus I was so thrilled to find out that Live at the Typer Cannon Grand doesn’t just showcase Wakefield’s best-known poems; it exuberantly celebrates everything we all love about seeing him rock a stage live. Nearly each track was recorded in a different venue, giving a fantastic window into the life of this working performance poet, who brings everything he’s got to the mic, whether the venue is small enough that each individual hoot & giggle can be heard, or large enough that the mid-poem applause sounds like a rumbling thunder. With crisp and clean recordings, it honestly does feel like you are there.

“Content-wise, the album is pitch-perfect. Wakefield’s graceful and selfless storytelling sings on tracks like ‘Jean Health’ and ‘Convenience Stores.’ He fearlessly shines light into darker corners of his life with poems like “Bedrooms and Battle Scars” and ‘Guitar Repair Woman.’ His wit and charm glitter in cuts like ‘Arizona Summers’ and ‘Tim and Buddy Bantar.’ And his experiments with incorporating music in pieces like ‘Human the Death Dance’ and ‘We Were Emergencies’ add deep and contrast to the radiant recordings of his live performances. And my heavens, this album is worth it for the recordings of ‘Flockprinter’ and ‘Giant Saint Everything’ alone — seeringly honest and emotionally dazzling pieces that had me dumbstruck and vibrating in my NYC subway car, absolutely grateful that Righteous Babe Record did this poet right.”
–Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Founder of NYC-Urbana

BOOK – LIVE FOR A LIVING (2007)

Live For A Living is a ripcord. If you’ve never been rocked back by the presence of purpose it is too soon for you. Tender, jarring and deeply human, this book is pulsing with the same electricity and honesty found in Buddy’s live performances. Through 140 pages of journal entries and poems (including Human the Death Dance) I was left goose bumped to the core, a suckerfish racing towards the deep end. Read this book. You will not find another writer more disarming in his humility, more brave in his hopes, or more brilliant in his lack of etiquette. From a Poetry Slam at San Quentin State Prison to visions of tacos at a Vipassana mediation retreat, Live for a Living is rich with the kind of healing our crazy world needs, and I am much much better for having been here.” –Andrea Gibson; 2008 Individual Women’s World Poetry Slam Champion

BOOK – SOME THEY CAN’T CONTAIN (2004)

“84 pages, perfect bound. This book contains almost all of Buddy’s most popular performance pieces [through 2004] with intros on the creative process, biographical material that helps us understand what instigated some of the poems and how his thought process has evolved over time. It is always full of Buddy’s warm sense of humor, his biting criticism and his big, big heart. As much as those who know Buddy love him, that doesn’t stop him from making us really mad in one poem, making us laugh really hard in a dozen others, and it doesn’t stop us from alternately laughing and crying in a few more. To read Buddy’s book is to sit with him in the front car of the roller coaster. And you’ll hear him taunt you for holding onto the bar when he throws his hands in the air.”
- Steve Marsh, The Wordsmith Press, Executive Director of Poetry Slam International>

Buddy Wakefield delivers a ten-track CD of poetry and music that is seductively honest, with enough energy you could use it to jump-start your car on a February morning in Alaska. Tracks you can dance to, tracks you can think to, and tracks to confound you. Just enough gentle humor to leave you feeling good. a perfect synthesis of spoken word and sound.”
