Mark Doty reads at Split This Rock

[insect1752]

Doty is a true poet. Beautiful, truly.

And Charlie Howard was just a regular guy, but what happened to him was so awful that it needs to be remembered... so it won't ever happen again, hopefully.

Stil a great poem.

Too many people try to write poetry without having read or heard a poem. And people like Doty have their masterpieces fall on deaf ears.

Listen and try not to be moved by this.

1:18 is really incredible.

That's a very touching poem. Charlie Howard's death spoke to me as soon as I had read about it. Because of him, I fight harder for homosexual rights.
