Very nice! I would like to use your video as a backdrop, for the poem. Dulce et decorum est. How do I contact you?

Thankyou for upload and a true poetry. From this older Canuck viewer.

I see you in a book before

Well said and nothing more need follow, excepting the sound of thinking.🙏🏻

Amazing presentation

I do feel that the stark, austere purity of the poetry is not enhanced this - it only requires a good reader

😶‍🌫️🐾💪

Your serving of sentiment are exactly how I felt viewing k. Walker's work at the MCA some years(25) ago! Thanks!

Interesting.

Lovely.

Should poetry exist? If so, whose? What role does the reader play in qualifying the work(s)? What about canon? The gatekeepers? What will AI do to poetry and poetics? If poetry is called poetry, is it poetry for others? Isn't poetry just a product of poetics? Does a static poetics, and thus a static poetry, exist? Whose art? Whose interpretation? Whose world? What function does the context play in the reception of language, the qualification of 'art'? Does art exist? Should it? Why and why not? Is art inevitable? Is miscommunication, exclusion, needed for one thing to be not the other thing? If art is inherently exclusive, what should we exclude? People? Or conventions? Or contexts outside of the now? Please answer these questions...we are trying to find the answer...

I wish the hylnds collection was still available

I know this will reach nobody, but this one really hit me. I grew up hearing how statistically, I was bound for drug use, crime, and/ or suicide. So as a young adult, I accepted the destiny as it was told was set for me. I was reckless and lived every day ready to die… it never came. This poem, I heard my story in a way. I ditched classes, I would stay out late, I would listen to songs and sing of pain, I lived every day ready to die soon. Wild how this poem is presented with a very specific subject, yet can be applied to many others who had parallel experiences.

Lovely!

It's okay It's okay Is so exotic🩷❤️🫂

The eye of an owl was creepy but good

You should review fragrances with an artist viewpoint.

Love, love, love it!

This will always be one of the most emotional videos i have ever watched on youtube

What?

Superb.

So awesome!

"We Real Cool".... This Real Cool.... What a fantastic interpretation!

The first time I read this poem was on a bus in 1989 I believe it was.

Woow this is an awesome video

I am insulted that poetry magazines used Covid to charge reading fees. It’s not our fault you can’t manage your business. Put up a donation site or is poetry in such a sad state? So much poetry so much inefficiency and now you gotta pay so people will read your work. I never paid never will. This is a turning point in history and you are charging reading fees, what is systematic racism. Nah, but think about it. Put up a donation site say for the future of the world and writing and start publishing more. What is the disconnect? If your interns can’t handle it, get new ones. Art is essential life. So sad.

So beautiful, artful, and creative! Love this!!! Gwendolyn Brooks is amazing! Also love her poem "To Be In Love"

We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon.

amazing work!

I love poetry. I too am a poet ❤

If I displayed one of our allegedly illicit contents of that quality below in that sample of the scene of a play, there is going to be an immediate righteous response from heaven.

Only 7 COMMENTS AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF VIEWING? Something seems wrong in this.

MY HISTORY TEACHER USED THIS AND IT WAS SO HELPFUL 🙏

This is real cool!!!

Yes yes yes the plastic smell. I literally just bought a bottle I loved what you did here. Got a sample when I visited your boutique in NYC for Sniffapooloza and that sample won me over. Wow

''Multitudes'' wow.. amazing.. wish always success.. have a good day.. cheers..💯👍

Chicago Poet - Carl Sandburg I saluted a nobody. I saw him in a looking-glass. He smiled--so did I. He crumpled the skin on his forehead, frowning--so did I. Everything I did he did. I said, "Hello, I know you." And I was a liar to say so. Ah, this. looking-glass man! Liar, fool, dreamer, play-actor, Soldier, dusty drinker of dust-- Ah! he will go with me Down the dark stairway When nobody else is looking, When everybody else is gone. He locks his elbow in mine, I lose all--but not him.

Is that 3 poems together , it was amazing but I just want 1 separated poem ... can anyone help me to recognise just the first poem in the video???? Please it's very important for me !!!

The passing of the Migos member Takeoff brought me here😢 RIP to those real cool kids

i got sent by my teach clearly some guy from 2 yrs ago has too

My college assignment brought me here. Never has so little said so much!!!!

Dear Poetry Foundation, please hear my critisicsm on how you chose to present the first poem. It was unwise to detract from the heroe's words with all the horror movie shrieks and macabre imagery which you used to help the viewer see his experience as exceedingly horrific and miserable, but I was struggling to hear his words because I was overwhelmed by the noise. Truly,, you could have done a better job of letting the poet convey his message through his poetry alone. I really appreciate the cardboard figures and settings you did, it has an aesthetic appeal that is very useful, but from a man like myself who enjoys writing rhyms and poetic messages, I would encourage you to be more diligent to not detract from the poet's work in any way when you do something like this. I imagined the soft low voice of the Poetry Foundation guy reading this, the guy whos name I cannot find, the one I used to hear on the radio every day I drove home from work about 12 years ago, and I thought it would be more dramatic and emotional than this work because a person would likely focus more on what was being said. Surely, this was your aim, but I tell you, you missed the target. WW1 was such an exceedingly terrible tragedy in all of human history that modern society really needs to have more discussions about so that we can honor the fallen heroes and innocent civilians as well as work to avoid another tragedy if this kind, you know? I am thankful that you are doing things like this. Please keep it up and may God bless you to do so. Love, peace and grace from heaven to you all.

Keep on the good work

It's genuinely really impressive that they made silhouettes so expressive

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Brooks on the west side of Chicago. She allowed me to hold her hand and she gave me the biggest hug. We talked about the inspirational affect she gives our children

This is so beautiful I love it so much 🥺💕

so awesome

Powerfully put together!! Great images, great poet!!

Soul good😎
