Aesop’s ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ (Crisell Adaptation) and Other Classics Read by Andrew Benson Brown

Andrew Benson Brown has had poems and reviews published in a few journals. His epic-in-progress, Legends of Liberty, will chronicle the major events of the American Revolution if he lives to complete it. Though he writes history articles for American Essence magazine, he lists his primary occupation on official forms as ‘poet.’ He is, in other words, a vagabond.

      Thanks Norma. If you go to the shorts feed and scroll down a while, you will also encounter the anti-haiku you wrote that Coats used as an example in her guide to the form.

        Thank you for the note on my infamous Haiku (how not to write one) 🙂

    Lovely range; from the very nicely done and read children’s fable, to Michelangelo wrestling with art and death, to life’s inevitable choices. Thanks, Louis

    Three great readings, and the visual accompaniments are superbly done. The images chosen for Michelangelo’s sonnet are particularly appropriate.

    Admirably done, ABB! All three are visually striking and aurally appealing… you lift the art of poetry to beautiful heights. Thank you!
