Walking Across the Atlantic

[@Namovaryar1980]

It is almost like looking at a dream that you had last night, but had only just forgotten. This brings back that whole dreamy feeling. Wow

[@HelenaHermione]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful--great man, Billy Collins, just perfect for being so simplistic and yet so evocative, especially with the animation to back it up.

[@thugnlive]

i like his poetry because its simple,accessible for everyone. it often lacks depth but its amazing to show something simple in such an effective manner!!!

[@PierreRipplinger]

The Awesomeness... Though English is not my mother's tongue I love these poems... The animations are breath-catching and the voice... I WANT to speak like this ! Most sincere Congratulations and admiration !

[@mysticrottie]

Billy had to be on the chiba, big time!! Right on, Billy!

[@Project-Shift]

An inspired synthesis of words and image.

[@styvin]

For me, this poem was about ambition and competition.

Audible has a couple of audio books featuring him reading his poetry live. Also, Amazon has an audio CD, and of course, his poetry books.

[@seriago]

Wow is right! ..transformed...

[@firman76imation]

[@Palgh]

[@mcasualjacques]

tis a poetic universe

[@OneSummerSky]

beautiful

[@YuriXRamirez]

great.

[@house25]

this is my favorite poem of billy collins by far!! and the animation is absolutely amazing! whoever did this is a genius. "try to imagine what this might look like to the fish below: the bottoms of my feet appearing, disappearing

[@jackhole8825]

this is so trippy bruh

[@jazbatee]

Although i desperately try to grasp the analogy the poet is presenting, I fail to get it. What is he talking about really? I like the usage of simple and relatable imagination...but am dependent on a literature teacher to take me all the way.

W-o-w. Probably my favourite (of all posted yet).

[@zaraaaazar]

I love the way these poems are animated! So cool~~:)

[@atha001]

sounds cool :-)

[@Bea16]

a bit haunting... but really good. :]

[@house25]

one of the most amazing poems i have ever read. when i first read it, it was a total compensation to my physical senses. which to me, it's the best kind of raction.

[@jushpa-me4695]

what means to you?? this poem?? :) why is so special to you?

[@Deathless2288]

good stuff, keep them coming!

[@physicals]

pretty good

[@Lulewd]

I think the animation and the poem work together in effortless unity. The ad banner on the bottom of the screen however, degraded the whole experience. shitty ads. : )

[@dou12bfamous]

Quite frankly, I'd rather b ahappy than across.

[@befz88]

makes me feel light as a feather

[@ugotfoos]

It's too bad they didn't credit the animator that really did most of the work here. Ahem!

[@BigBubbaDoo]

OMG!!!!!! what book was this from?

[@jooelhultman]

real

[@insertsloganhere]

It's just about him imagining walking across the ocean to Europe, nothing more.

[@porcelainchic]

fuck. i want to get stoned and read all of your stuff

[@jackhole8825]

[@scottythedevil]

i think you will find that it isn't actually that deep.

[@lemoncholyme]

do u do this for the poet? If so I have some poetry I would love for u to do for me.

[@bathregularly]

I don't think, he thinks he is Jesus. He just wrote a poem, that is all. Is that not what youtube is all about?

[@josiahaiken4738]

It is scary and glomy

[@demoras]

I hope for you that 'Ahem' meant that you were being sarcastic.

[@staylopictures]

This poem is not very good, and the animation gives it a little life.
