Poet Laureate hits YouTube

I heart YouTube, I really do. It's not as if I have anything better to do than watch people lip synch or view footage of someone's cat. Sleeping.

Right. Well, as with movies or any other media, occasionally I want to watch something not just because I can. I want to watch something meaningful. Something I can relate to. Something earnest. Art. Poetry. Something. Anything.

Check out this reading by Poet Laureate and The Trouble With Poetry author Billy Collins set to beautiful animation. It's better than a video of your pet. Lip synching. To The Beatles.
