I am really disappointed that the Fiona Haw filmed performance misses out my favourite line virtually from the end of the poem:"What have we given?" She just says Datta but not the words that follow. Why? Spoils it for me. Still pretty nice and fluid...
Just goes to show what a natural match ebooks and poetry are - the ability to meld multimedia without diluting the power of the text on the page is utterly wonderful. This is a very impressive video which will hopefully will impact on how poetry is perceived by readers (and listeners) in our modern world.
If you are taking suggestions - please make your next project a Jane Austen book, withering heights or shakespeare. High school students around the world will bow at your feet :)
Wonderful use of technology to illuminate and encourage exploration of a wonderful text. Huge implications here. Very excited to see how these types of projects develop and expand! Keep it up!
Viewing this app has induced me to reevaluate the reproduced experience, whereby we see and hear persons, events, via TV, YouTube, film, etc. to the actual experience of being in the room or at the rally. In truth any reproduction of experience would fall short. Yet this Walk through The Waste Land demonstrates as nothing I have ever seen the utility, capacity of this medium to reproduce a communion both complex and intimate for the creator and devotee.
Fascinating project. Really great use of the technology. Please do more! Yeats' poems would be particularly nice, there are recordings of him, and think of all the manuscript materials that survive...

This is an awesome app - but Fiona is a bit annoying. Where's Viggo?

Brilliant. Great poem to choose as it's so dense with references. Love the manuscripts, too. They really bring the creative process to life. Bravo.
