Billy Collins!!! Is anyone else obsessed with that man's work? No one but Taylor Mali could stand as well with Billy Collins on the stage. What a boss.
Absolutely love Billy Collins. Crazily enough I had an English teacher for 1 term of 1 year in highschool, who had met both of them on separate occasions. Taylor Mali he had invited to the school to recite some of his poems (this was before I went there) and billy Collins he’d received a poem from before it was published (idk which one). My poetry loving mind was blown out of the water. 😂
I've watched/heard this a dozen times and only now do I realize he meant *SAAB* in the garage and not *sob* in the garage... that makes WAAAAY more sense.
Thank you Mr.Mali! you are an amazing writer and your work inspired my 8th grade teacher last year, who unfortunately was laid off,and my self. I love watching your videos:) thank you
This reminds me of how my nerdy husband and I labeled our most valuables when we moved so that the movers couldn't pick an interesting box and make off with it. We wrote things like "refractive light-encoded media" on our box full of CD's and so on. What lovely memories!
this reminds me of my father,. he has OCD.. and all these weird habits.. wich i love and try to copy but never could do it just exactly right. im so going to recite this to him..

I have a collection of orphaned keys.
I loved this video.
He even makes the phrase "keys to unknown places" sound like hope and adventure. "secret passage to Mt. Olympus, Wardrobe to Sarnia, Ont."

You are my hero! Thank you, thank you, thank you...
That was amazing, and extremely cathartic. What a magical experience.
