Joe is right. As it stands, the sentence is run-on.
Exquisite diction, superb control of meter, and a resonant theme. Who could ask for more?
Very well read, Michael – too many of us fit in there somewhere now and then, and another very entertaining video from our very talented Mr. Brown. Great job both –
I loved this poem when I saw it here at the SCP earlier this year, and hearing it recited with ABB’s video background was doubly delightful. I can’t think of a better summation of the intellectual cesspool that we are forced to live in.
This was my favorite of the symposium readings, and I was laughing nonstop while making this video. AI did a pretty decent job of following my prompts to visualize the lines, too.
Lillios is fantastically talented and I wish he would write more.
I love everything about this – the visuals, the voice, and the marvelous poem that prompted the project. I agree with ABB – more please Mr. Lillios. Thank you!
