Poet Patricia Smith appears at the National Book Festival.
This is from the Spoon River Anthology of 1915 that once sold as well as a popular novel. It’s a collection of poems, being epitaphs and life stories narrated by the residents of the small town of Spoon River. The individuals mentioned in this poem are the subjects of those stories, in the most part.

关雎 – Guanju is an ancient Chinese poem, attributed to 诗经 (Shījīng) and 周南 (Zhōunán). There is a beautiful “100 Ancient Chinese Poems” anthology published by Sinolingua, Beijing that contains a book and cassette tape (Hehe, like what’s that?) media. The cassette recording is the basis upon which I am making my video interpretation. I have also submitted subtitles in simplified Chinese for your convenience. Don’t be surprised if you recognize the beginning of S.H.E’s 十面埋伏 (Shi2 Mian4 Mai2 Fu2) somewhere in that recording. The “100 Ancient Chinese Poems” recording has probably been sampled many times over by pop artists. My name is Larry Leathers, the performer of “Guanju”. I am the V.P. of Sales and Marketing for EUROC2.com. We are launching a product line called EUROC2.com Extreme Chinese for strategic language acquisition essential for doing business in China.

Poetry creates new worlds and new ways of seeing our world. It teaches us what it means to be human, what it means to love. Poetry lets us peek beneath the veil of the everyday world for a glimpse of the transcendence available in our most commonplace moments. Poetry is revolutionary. I wrote these poems, these are some poems that have touched me, changed me, made me think – and the reasons why.
