The best thing abt this poetry naration is that the poet gives the context or the situations surrounding his life based on which or on the influence of which the poems were written..thats makes more sense to any poems..i only wish all the famous "quotes" also had such rendering of the context.. A daring poet..with humble yet beautiful poems..

I have heard Don reading in person since 1969 in Ann Arbor & was his Teaching Assistant. Still adore him.--Linda Woodward (TX TInkerbelle is AKA for cattery I had)

A very enjoyable poetry reading full of emotion and description. A very good poet, he has obviously had a talented inspiration.

I hope Donald Hall lives forever.

He didn't.

What a fantastic poetry reading, I plan on buying his collected poems "White Apples" soon now too. "White apples and the taste of stone." FANTASTIC!!

I may incorporate isochronics at some point, although there is no firm plan to do so at this point. The PsimatiX approach uses several entrainment methods, binaural beats being secondary to other techniques that in combination produce great results. Many PsimatiX tracks don't have any binaural beats in the traditional sense, but do have some stereophonic binaural harmonics, which still produce hemispheric synchronization in the brain.

A Blue Wing Tilts At The Edge Of The Sea , remains one of my favourite books of all time , I read it at the age of 14 and all the words were so fizzing in my youth , thankyou

Such a treat for me to see this guy. I have been carrying one of his poems around in my head for 20 years I think. This reading is a bit slow to get going but just give it some time and I am sure you will be moved and inspired.

Wonderful.

carol berwind ah! I am akin to that too i.e. old

Poetry is absolutely beauteous! I write and read quite a bit of it myself. It is one of my true passions! Exquisite poet and poetry!

Awesome reading, great poet, thanks for the post..!!!

Yeah, I just got it from the library a few weeks ago and I love it! Not to mention the fact that it came with a poetry reading CD with it! Haha. Thanks, God bless you too.

I am new to English poems, at which stage it is really hard for me to appreciate the beauty of English poems. Any suggestions for me? :)

Brilliant

Great poetry reading, extraordinary artist.

A pleasure.

Could be. In any case, I really enjoyed his poetry and his reading of it. Thanks for your comments and clarification.

Look up: "The Death of a Toad," by Richard Wilbur, and "The Paperweight," by Gjertrud Schnackenberg, for starters.

Death of a Toad?! What the............?!

See what you think of some of the poems I wrote. I need an evaluation. One is my first youtube video of series of 30. Put in youtube search box psychotic episode 107 then go to the artist web site at the end. There are thirty poems on the site. Hope you like it.

From My Poems To Yours

Enjoyed your reading. I knew at age 15 that I wanted to be a writer/ poet and I became one. I’m also a children’s story writer. But RE poetry. I’m a poet specializing in Japanese forms of poetic endeavor: haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka/kyoka? and my haiku-a tribute poem to Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late Jane Reichold who also considered my poem among her top 10 haiku of all time. What an honor. Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary: Bashō,s frog four hundred years of ripples - -Al Fogel “At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA forum. The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of "the sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water". As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are only ripples and our lives are that ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain”. My tanka/kyoka: returning home from a Jackson Pollock exhibition I smear my face with paint and turn into art -All love in isolation from Miami Beach, Florida. Al

simply awesome.

Poetry is fun to write for me when i make every thing up!

I agree with you, however in this case, he actually did suffer a stroke, you can google his name to find out more if you are interested. Since a stroke is basically an area of the brain being deprived of oxygen for long enough time to cause damage, I wonder if that is what's happening with the medication.

I have this book and if you like poetry, I'd highly recommend it for you!!! God Bless! =D

Donald Hall is the master of the poetic form.

There are also some medications that can do this to you permanently. It happened to someone close to me.

I write poems a lot. Just wrote 15 good Poems I am just waiting to share. ;)

check out Poetry by David Brennan

These poems are like Kaddishes, death- we will all experience one day. Finally i find a poet that realizes and has written about the dark side of poetry, as well as parish and connecting, and also a brighter side. I .like the beginning as well, seeing different people from the past talking about segregation, poorness, equality, etc.... I am writing a lot of recovery poetry myself and get much therapy from it. Our entire nation is in some type of recovery.... -sandra mally

As long as there is language there will be poetry, it's just that some don't like it without music.

The Poem titled The Poem is brilliant at 5.25

moments as you love me still. time with rains as bitter tears, loves me more, beneath my fears, more and more my mind grows ill. Nights with daydrops, air with chill. faces haunting with longing lear, air grows colder, leaves appear, daggers falling like poets quill. Shadows wandering, falling still. your touch I reach forever near, phantoms churning, your voice I hear, memory quivering with icy chill.

interesting

why is he explaining himself?

Your comment may be 2 years old, but everyone can read it, so what the hell.. He clearly has suffered a stroke which makes him appear to be chewing as he talks. But then trying to think beyond the apparently obvious would be too difficult for some I suppose.

Yes, that chewing is a huge distraction. I wondered if he were missing an upper denture or something.
