Poetry: "I Am!" by John Clare read by Tom Hiddleston (12/02)

[@Debbie338]

He makes me understand poems I didn’t previously understand, just by the way he reads them.

I kind of disliked it.

[@wildpoetryproject]

the sign of a brilliant poetry reading

I agree. I knew "I am" before, same as "Wild Geese", but it never really "klicked" for me, you know? Then, just a while ago, I heard recordings of him reading both poems - and I understood. Like a door I always walked by, that suddenly opened up.

[@Debbie338]

@ That’s a lovely way to put it.

[@jariheimoluoto4959]

My favourite poem of all time. Gives words to how i feel

All sad people love poetry

[@captnrobvious47]

Happy people like songs.

In this poem, the speaker (most likely the poet himself) talks about his depression and loneliness and looks for the next life where he could find peace alongside God in Heaven.

*Do you know if John Clare met John Keats when he went to London? It seems that they would have been the two poets who had the most in common: Clare, "the Farmer Poet," and Keats, the "Cockney Poet"--both of them looked at as "oddities."*

[@calebjtachenko]

@Chuck for Emmy I'm sure I could find the video of my performance at state, I didn't win that or even get third but I still did this poem

[@chelvyvethanayagamK]

Some psychopath label others as having depression and mental health when actually they have that.

[@pumkxns7707]

anyone knows what the title of the track in the bg is

[@julianholman7379]

He had difficulty affording paper to write on

[@josephdaniel7013]

What’s the name of the song playing in background is it beautiful

[@fierypickles4450]

Beautiful. What is that song in the background?

[@arunikapritimishra632]

Once you've heard Rory Kinnear recite this poem (or any poem for that matter), you just want him to recite it & non-other.
