I'm so glad you liked it! Honestly, I loved making this video more than any other so far. I've got at least one poetry related idea up my sleeve at the moment. I'm looking to make it at some point over the summer.

This was a really well-made video. I had never thought to associate e.e. cummings with Bon Iver, but you made some great points and I now see their shared artistic vision. Keep doing what you do!

Thank you so much! The connection first occurred to me a few years ago when I was teaching Modernism in an American Literature class. I showed my students a couple Cummings poems, and after class a student told me that they made him think of the lyric videos Bon Iver had just released for "22, A Million." I've taught Cummings alongside Bon Iver ever since.
I never know what to say after watching your videos. But all i can say about this one is wow. ☺☺
Very very very underrated video. simply stunning!

Read Live & Let Die by Theron Maynard. It reads like a long and beautiful love song. You could make an awesome video essay on it. Love this video btw, Bon Iver is so amazing but so underrated.

Funny enough, I found myself liking Bon Iver because they reminded me a bit of Sigur Rós...
