Finally got around to watch this! Has been saving it to give it the attention it requires. Loved this video, a slower meditative pace, felt more intimate and revealing… sharing those gentle childhood snapshots, followed by poetry reading. Thank you x
Thank you for what you do Jason. Teachers do not get enough recognition. Teachers do touch Lives. I will never forget my English Literature teacher in H.S. He introduced me to Poetry and Literature from England. You should make an audio reading of your works. -James
One of your best videos man. i appreciate that you don't try to act like something your not. And you have some of the best fans/friends/subs on RUclips. Just keep up the good work. And I liked hearing you read from your books.
Wow! I had no idea you were a poet! Really enjoyed listening to your poetry. There's definitely a southernness to your poems that make them beautiful 🎉
Jason is too humble to brag but Jason is very talented. Literature wise and Life experience wise. I highly recommend his book Laughing Is Forever. I really connected with that book. -James
Jason, I loved listening to you read your works! Everytime I see a copy of 'Black Creek🌳🧹 Crossing' I IMMEDIATELY think of that terrifying of Roundtree, Massachusetts!!! Great book by Saul. I see some Rick Hautala over your left also......he is one you don't see very often. Take "s"care Jason. Richard
Thank you, Jason! That was a great talk and reading. It was good to hear how you read your poems for the timing, etc. Have you seen the RUclips channel The Active Mind? He likes a lot of Russian works but the other day he pulled out Faulkner and Plath. Have you watched the RUclips video In Celebration of Burlington Poets? I enjoyed listening to the poets. I liked the storytelling type of poems that Anna Blackmer read with Sun Damage... I'll put one of my short poems in another comment box. Thanks again for this great video.
7:33 PM on the Fourth of July, 2024 It's 7:33 PM now! We are not together as I wished for. Can I just fall asleep now? Can I just go into a world where I am happy? A helicopter is flying too low over the house; its body trembles. The ceiling fan turns and its arthritic joint clicks and clicks over and over. The washing machine struggles in its old age protesting its work with a constant moan of a high pitch. Cancer is eating at me.
Great video. Props to the subscribers that suggested you do it. Cool hearing u read.

You're a nice cool person. May the Gods bless you.

Can I just fall asleep now?
Can I just go into a world where I am happy?
A helicopter is flying too low over the house; its body trembles.
The ceiling fan turns

over and over.
The washing machine struggles in its old age protesting its work with a constant moan of a high pitch.
Cancer is eating at me.
Daaaamnn. Powerful. Succinct. "Can I just fall asleep now?" Hell yeah!
Is this a poem you wrote? Pretty cool man.
@@Schoolofbooks17 Yes, I wrote it. I started the poem with some other things to say and then got distracted by all the noise. Thank you!
Very cool
@@GSAchampion Thank you very much.
