"Good poetry anyway, that is poetry that fills its entire capacities on line and meter and metaphor and pressure on the unknown, putting different things together to make kind of new meaning all the time." 23:40

Hi! How can I add a portuguese subtitle to this video? I study Brand's work and I'd love to help brazilian people to watch this video.

"Poetry in my practice brings into view such a being, hopefully, one who might be unavailable to the rules of character, who is uninterested in the fixed-raced definitions of modernity, and who refuses the efforts to renovate narratives of coloniality and imperialism. This being owes no exposition for their presence or actions, most certainly not to that spectatorship." 30:46
