MAD MEN - Jon Hamm - Meditations in an Emergency

Oh my god, I am in love with this. Excellent job.

I love this reading of Frank O'Hara's poem — it brings out the darker, more depressive quality that underpins the buoyant optimism most people comment on in his work. It is the final section of the final poem in his first book. The book is MEDITATIONS IN AN EMERGENCY, and the poem is "Mayakovsky."

That was brilliant, beautifully done and great scene choices.
How I love this show

Now I am quietly waiting for
the catastrophe of my personality
to seem beautiful again,
and interesting, and modern.

The country is grey and
brown and white in trees,
snows and skies of laughter
always diminishing, less funny
not just darker, not just grey.

It may be the coldest day of
the year, what does he think of
that? I mean, what do I? And if I do,
perhaps I am myself again.

Nice.

You do thoroughly brilliant work. Thank you for sharing it.

The video captured the mood of the poetry wonderfully.

Best show ever....Thanks for posting!!!!

Does anyone know the music used in this scene, or is it just part of the score? It's beautiful.

It's the score from the montage at the end of episode one of season two.
