I don't know how I happened upon this but am so glad I did. Once I listened to this first video I couldn't stop until I had listened to ten more. If I had nothing else to do today I would happily be listening to as many others as I can find.
Before I offer you the Taylor Mali poetry I should explain that I love being read to. On our honeymoon Hubby and I took turns reading Tony Hillerman's "Thief of Time". We both love Garrison Keillor's poetry during the Writer's Almanac each morning. We seldom drive without a book on CD in the car (now that Hubby has to do all the driving we do not read aloud in the car. The current book is Sarah Vowel's "Unfamiliar Fishes".
Mr. Mali's "What Teachers Make" is angry and easy to love but I confess it is the painful telling of his wife's suicide that gave me the most of an emotional tug. So I feel confident you will enjoy the anger of this reading but hope that what I end up hearing is that you too have developed a crush.
I am struggling to embed this video so please take a little trip to YouTube and enjoy some of his work. Start with "What Teachers Make" and stay for a few more. I like poetry. Poetry is cool. And if you got that reference, you are too.
Be well.
