Aimee Nez, fellow OSU MFA alum! What a surpise to discover Taylor Mali (perfect for English 453 po workshop 1st day baptism by fire) and see Aimee here.

thank you :) I didn't expect to find poetry so fun.

Mr. Hackett showed us your poems, and you are now my favourite poet. You even beat out Tim Burton, Félix Leclerc and Jacques Prevert. Thank you.

Today, my grade 10 english teacher, Mr. Hackett, showed all of us some of your poems on youtube. You are now my new favourite poet. Thank you, Taylor Mali.

Dude, I will totally, like, have your babies, you know?

Just curious because I've never been to any poetry reading outside of high school: Why is there someone sitting with another microphone and book on stage with you when you performed?

thank you

i first found you by accident just before i began studying my education subjects. i had been studying drama for the past two years and i was worried about giving up performing for educating. after seeing your videos ive realised that by teaching i will perform everyday to the toughest crowds ever. and it will be amazing :)

Mr. Mali, you are an inspiration to us all. I was introduced to your poetry over this past summer during a class at Northern Arizona University. Your piece "What Teachers Make" is an explosive example of how I want to be as a teacher. I hope that when you read this, you will consider a trip to Flagstaff and NAU for a visit. When I graduate in May, I have plans to show this piece, and others, to my fellow teachers. Thank you!

I want to thankyou for posting you spoken word performances. I enjoyed both their content and your delivery.
