Paula Jeanine Bennett x Richard X Bennett – “The Poem is in my Step” | Finding poetry in the movement of life

A garden never looks the same throughout the year, and neither do the people who observe it. In “The Poem is in my Step”, Paula Jeanine Bennett and Richard X Bennett turn this relationship between nature and personal transformation into a spoken-word piece that finds meaning in everyday details. Through an intimate recitation, Paula moves through images of magnolias, birds, and falling petals, recognizing the beauty in things that change gradually.

The poem approaches self-discovery as a process without immediate conclusions. The garden’s changing seasons mirror inner transformations: growing also means pausing, letting go, and learning to recognize new versions of ourselves. The recurring phrase “amid the blossoms” keeps the listener grounded in the present, suggesting that even amid change, there is beauty worth holding on to.

Spoken word and jazz: poetry has its own rhythm

The piece pairs poetic recitation with a sensual, enveloping jazz groove, creating a dialogue between the natural cadence of the voice and the movement of the music. Bennett’s background as a singer, percussionist, and butoh dancer adds a physical dimension to the performance, allowing language to become more than a vehicle for imagery: it also takes on rhythm and stage presence.

Walking as another way of discovering yourself

“The Poem is in my Step” finds its most meaningful perspective in the idea that poetry doesn’t need to be searched for beyond everyday experience. It lives in walking, observing, and recognizing how the world around us shapes who we become. A quiet reminder to pay attention to the present and discover how life continues writing its own verses through even the smallest movements.
