Fabulous poem; beautiful and expressive reading. Well done both.
Dear Andrew —
My deepest thanks to you for this wonderful surprise. I didn’t expect it, and I am very grateful, and truly honored.
My pleasure. This is the first of many planned readings, so I’m sure I’ll get around to more of your work in the future.
What a wonderful idea. I love the production. It’s thoroughly engaging and highlights Dr. Salemi’s superb poem beautifully. I’m sure its visual appeal and engaging reading will inspire budding poets. It does appear, however, out of order on my screen. Some of the later slides seem to show up on my screen before they should, which is somewhat distracting. Is that by design?
Thanks for noticing this, Susan, I will correct it.
Ok, fixed and re-uploaded here:

added an end screen with appropriate music
Wow, an achievement or what ? Word perfect except for ‘true’ for ‘due’ near the end.
A great audiovisual rendition of an expert’s fine poem.
More please, thank you, ABB.
Ahhh always one more error! Thanks for catching.
Planning on doing more, yes. My hope is that this will play a small role in bringing more attention to SCP poets. Can’t count on the mainstream institutions to make us famous—have to do it ourselves.
