Anyone know the name of the jazz composition in the background as the poem is being read? It's beautiful.

Callahan has the best recitation I've ever heard of this poem, and the video translation itself is superb.

I saw Ryan Cole's video on youtube "My Suicide" and loved it so much that I bought his album on amazon. I'm just in love with it now. Great poetry.

this is so good. i was translating Hughes into Hindi for a reading in Delhi. i was surprised by how his work retains its rhythm in a different language
