Nirmit Shah sent across this unassuming video the other day, about Billy Collins (two-term U.S. Poet Laureate as he reminds us) reciting five of his poems set to animation.
The video really caught my attention at poem four (The Country) about a small white mouse and a matchstick - its completely unexpected twist in the plot had me glued to the poem, with twinkling eyes and an affectionate smile.
Last year Billy Collins gave a poetry reading at my college. So, when I saw this reblogged by budapestivities, I figured I'd share this with everyone else. I sometimes find poems difficult to get through, but I really enjoy Billy Collins' poetry.
