My super-smart and super-lovely wife told me that, despite both the book and now the audiobook being out for a while, I should keep making my drunk poems into animated videos. And as she’s never led me astray, that’s exactly what I’m doing!
It will likely be a years-long project, but someday I’ll hopefully have them all done. You may recall, the book is…not short…so, it’s going to be an undertaking. But there are so many cool styles and approaches to animation, so many folks out there in the world just doing their thing — that I’m going to do my part to share as much as I can!
A 4th of July Poem from A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst...
Once again, it’s the 4th of July. Once again this young, brash, and imperfect union has the chance to reflect on just what it is, what it has been, and what it might one day be…if only we have the courage to own it all with honesty and a stark humility. Who’s to say if collectively we will? The 4th is a complicated day for me.
But, what’s not complicated — this poem. It’s read by William Boyle, and can be found on A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst — Unabridged Audio either on CDs, or as a download at most of the audiobook spots, or even requested from your local library. Enjoy!
