With Conviction

I like this video sent in by a reader in South Carolina, you know?  It’s like good maybe.  So if you have, you know, a second to see an impressive mix of poetry,  graphics arts, and typography then you should, well, I would click this like if you have a second.

You’ll see the point when you watch the video.

The original poem is by Taylor Mali but his student Ronnie Bruce uses videography skills to elevate the poem to a place where the art really speaks. Makes we wonder what Ronnie could do with Longfellow. Or if Longfellow would've even been famous had he been forced to “publish” in today's multi-disciplinary world.
