i was trying to figure out a way to make john donne's "death be not proud" and dylan thomas' "do not go gentle" come alive in a new way for my students so i wanted to tie it to spoken word. i found this rafael casal piece over the summer and it knocked my socks off. it is so hauntingly beautiful, such power in his words and his expressions. it is mesmerizing. (he drops a gloriously perfect f bomb, just fyi).

Socks. Knocked. Off.
I love how he winds up and winds down with the black shoes and black jacket.
And the idea of having to restitch yourself after the death of a loved one...
Thanks for sharing this. I wish you were my English teacher. :)
