spoken poetry

A friend of mine sent me a youtube link tonight to a poet she wanted me to hear. I'd never heard of Taylor Mali but I'm really glad she sent me the link. He's wonderful! Here is a link to his personal web page:

and here is a link to one of his poems performed live:

For those sensitive, Mali can be a bit off color at times, but it is always done in a very funny vein. His performance of "The Impotance of Proofreading" is hysterically funny. You can find that on youtube as well here:

I hope you enjoy. That's all for tonight....dream deeply...ladifrog
