Jamal May

In honor of National Poetry month I am posting a poetry video every day for the rest of April. This is a video of Jamal May. He is the author of Hum, The God Engine and The Whetting of Teeth. This poem is a contrapuntal, which has to be crazy in the head of the reader, but sounds incredible. I saw many of his videos on Youtube, but he also has a great website where you can read more of his poems.

  I stole your concept of beautiful words for Love letter #2, so I guess you could say it started out beautiful. :)

  You took some clumsy words about the concept of beautiful and turned them in to something actually beautiful. But you’re welcome ;)
