Davis McCombs
My inner ear hears Davis McCombs’s work as stately lamentation but this video tends to give that impression the lie.
I’ve heard McCombs read and I could swear he wasn’t this edgy. But circumstances were different and it was several years ago. He seems to be with his homeboys here.
At least he explains why that poem is called “Ninevah,” a thing that puzzled me. I thought I knew the story of Jonah, but I guess all my Sunday School teachers stopped after the whale vomited the penitent Jonah up on the shore near that wicked city. Having made the big point, I guess they didn’t sweat the details.
P.S. I love this reading.
