Traditions

Although our students have been writing their own original video poetry and telling their own digital stories, it has been interesting to come across an entirely different project called Poetry Everywhere and see that traditional poetry reading is kept alive through this Internet site.
I would not have noticed this site except for a surprising connection. On my way to the Winnipeg Jazz Festival to hear Wynton Marsalis, I decided to look up Wynton's most recent recording. I was surprised to find that Wynton doing an oral reading of Yeats on this site. It was a great find and one that I wanted to include on this blog. Enjoy. Also look for Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson and others.
