Daily Quote and Video: Anne Waldman and the Three Year Old Master Poet

I was discussing with a friend last week who went to Naropa University's summer writing program how good of a performance poet (which I think is equally important to the written words) Anne Waldman is. Then this morning my awesome girlfriend sent me a youtube clip of a great reading of a Billy Collins poem, litany. So the quote is from Anne, and the video is from a nontraditional poet (he's three). I watched Collins read this poem as well, and what is amazing to me, is how this little boy takes a funny ironic poem, and turns it into a true tender romantic one, while playing with action figures. That's art. Enjoy.
