A most excellent link, Kerryanne. Thank you so much for this. I really loved the poem. Poetry is meant to be read aloud, and there's just something about the voice...it adds a whole new dimension to the work, don't you find? I thought the animation was very cool, too. I've never read Collins' work before, but now that you've introduced me to him, I'll be looking for more.
