"Voice of America V/O," by TAYLOR MALI

Ойын-сауық

Performed at the very first Page Meets Stage pairing at the Bowery Poetry Club on November 12, 2005, which featured me (Taylor Mali) and my mentor Billy Collins. I remember that this day started for me in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the end of a two-week long tour of international schools where I'd been teaching. After a frantic day of travel-thank goodness the time change worked to my advantage-the day finished sharing the stage with Billy Collins in front of a sold out crowd at the Bowery Poetry Club. As the evening progressed, you can see Billy begin to relax and enjoy himself more, chuckling in places during my poems. Special thanks to Chad Anderson for filming and editing the night.

    Hey Taylor, I saw you perform this in the booming metropolis of High Falls, N.Y. a few years back. Now that I'm working as a V/O artist, I just had to hear this piece again. Thanks for posting it. A visit I just paid to your website was also quite refreshing. Keep up the phenomenal work!

    I have a live performance of "What Teachers Make" on my myspace page and I watch it regularly. I just finished my 4th year of college and sometimes I just need a little reminder of why I'm doing what I'm doing to be a teacher. Thank you! AND I love this poem. Like, you know? lol!

    I sent him an email my senior year to see if he could stop by during my poetry club since he was doing a college in the area. He came just for the hell of it.
