Your enunciation, your rhythm are perfect for this poem. I get so frustrated and frankly, turned off of poetry, by people who read it in that ubiquitous sing-songy up and down cadence. You made it sound like you were really saying it,thinking it not reading it.<br />Your voice, C, is made for poetry. I hope you have confidence in that. See, I already say too much.<br /><br />And more....the combination of the photos of Cuba and London, in black and white mixed with color was another level of enjoyment. But the very best part of this, so thoughtfully made video, was that wonderful deep breath at the beginning and Benedetti's beautiful words.<br />I really hope you will do more of these videos, or better yet, just start a blog that is dedicated to your readings.<br />Thanks for the treat.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-49795290409739367472016-12-11T01:44:52.360+00:002016-12-11T01:44:52.360+00:00I enjoyed it all, CiL -- the poem, the recital of ...I enjoyed it all, CiL -- the poem, the recital of it in the German language, the photographs.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-80950073737770332372016-12-11T01:19:12.789+00:002016-12-11T01:19:12.789+00:00A compelling poem that brings much to mind for me....A compelling poem that brings much to mind for me.
