Thanks again for posting this, especially now, in the specific context we're in, with the specific conversations that are happening around this country right now.
For anyone interested: I shared a few extended thoughts about this poem, and some good links, here: www.guante.info/2016/11/new-video-for-action-up-at-button.html
Thank you so much for your work, this poem included. You've influenced me a great deal, and helped me figure out what I stand for. I write poetry largely because of you. There's a slam happening at my university in a few days, and I want to perform my work there. I have one poem posted on my channel. If you want to and you have time, it would mean the world to me if you would watch it, and maybe give some feedback (this applies to anyone who may be reading this). I've never received any constructive criticism, so it would be super helpful to get some before I perform. Regardless of whether you do or don't check it out, thank you so much for making this world a more lovely place, and influencing me and others in an extremely positive way.
coming from a survivor, you couldn't of said anything to change him. maybe postpone, but if it's in someones brain, your words won't change their actions. but thank you for making at least one person, me, feel a little less alone. xo
Just gotta love those words. Guante shows a braking heart covered in truths and holding itself together with broken concepts. He is a modern Shakespeare-recreating poetry.
can I just say that once you think he isn't wearing a hat you can't go back so i've had to re watch this poem because i keep seeing his head shaped like the top of a bent finger😂 powerful piece of poetry though wow

Telling our sons.... It is a conversation that never happened

"while her silence will always mean no. My silence, this silence between us, will always mean yes"
I think my heart is breaking and my breath is catching with every line. This is so impactful.
I LOVE GUANTE YESSSSS
