"Poets of Protest uses narrative observational documentary to reveal the hazardous lives of six contemporary poets, while beautifully filmed interludes provide visual interpretations of their works – a glimpse of the soul of the Middle East."

Kurt Elling sings The Waking by Theodore Roethke

The Waking

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

Good Books - Metamorphosis

This video has recently been restricted to viewing only on vimeo. I've kept it up here because it's worth checking out. Trippy.... If you've seen the movie adaptation of the drug infused autobiographical novel by Hunter S. Thompson  "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream, you'll remember the unforgettable performance of Johnny Depp as a lead character. Check the source link below for the creators of this animation with Depp performing one of the most memorable scenes.
