I'm so happy you're back. I first discovered this channel about 6 years ago and loved it: there's something very soothing about the way you talk about poems and it has reminded me of why I like poetry so much. Just today I randomly remembered this channel again and thought about what a shame it was you weren't uploading anymore, so I decided to rewatch some of the old videos. Imagine my excitement when I discovered you're making videos again! I hope you keep going despite not having a large audience (yet) - there are those of us out there who appreciate what you do :)
Thirty colossal lines for Sylvia Plath Tonight I'm the literary voyeur and you and Ingrid each a tragic actor your verses play out in books and on sheets each making their own marks on my heart Ingrid in her beautiful fertile verses pray for the love that causes adultery You build a giant with wood and old blankets and mourn a father you can no longer touch In Ingrid's bitter berry ocean rages the battle for meaning to life Around you and in your poet's house there's alliteration of Romulus and Remus of Rome I wonder if Ingrid wrote for the last time, (before the black dog chases her into the sea) a few sentences in free verse on the sand? I wonder if your last act , (before you started your cleaning in the furnace) was scratching rhyming words in the baking pan with white flour? I wish I could incite both of you with applause and cry out "Encore, write more, write more." JAE Louw
+louis bmx well, you're the only one that's ever said they wanted me to do something about Hamlet :) That'd be a massive job...on the off chance I ever do make some videos about Hamlet - what kind of things are you interested in hearing about?
Well known discussions as his doubtful state of mind, Ophelia as a representation of madness, and more controversial prompts like the role played by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, an analysis of the comedy prensent in the play paying special attention to the gravedigger, Polonius, and Osric.

Brilliant stuff, keep it up.
+Not-A-Witch there should be more coming soon :)
Thirty colossal lines for Sylvia Plath
Tonight I'm the literary voyeur
and you and Ingrid each a tragic actor
your verses play out in books and on sheets
each making their own marks on my heart
Ingrid in her beautiful fertile verses
pray for the love that causes adultery
You build a giant with wood and old blankets
and mourn a father you can no longer touch
In Ingrid's bitter berry ocean
rages the battle for meaning to life
Around you and in your poet's house
there's alliteration of Romulus and Remus of Rome
I wonder if Ingrid wrote for the last time,
(before the black dog chases her into the sea)
a few sentences in free verse
on the sand?
I wonder if your last act ,
(before you started your cleaning in the furnace)
was scratching rhyming words in the baking pan with white flour?
I wish I could incite both of you
with applause
and cry out
"Encore, write more, write more."

I wonder how many outside of South Africa or the Netherlands will catch this. Sad encore indeed.
