Speech is a mouth

When poetry is everywhere, the motions of life lift from everyday to elevated. All life is art. All art is life.

With its inspired series of animated poems, the Poetry Foundation has freed words from books and let them fly loose to lift and stir.

Try one here: The Language by Robert Creeley.

Go to the Poetry Foundation for more of the Poetry Everywhere collection.

Thanks for this, Drew. To hear Wynton Marsalis jazz up W.B. Yeats like he does, makes me want to light a fire, spread a quilt over my lap, put on some Billie Holliday and spend an afternoon wandering back into the classics.

I love these little poetry films!
