How to print a poem - The Wild Swans at Coole

Artists Wyllie O Hagan are inspired by the beauty of the Irish lakes. The Wild Swans at Coole, a poem by William Butler Yeats comes to mind when the beautiful and mysterious birds appear.

In this short digital film the artist demonstrates how to print a poem, and what motivates her to do such a thing.

Enjoy, and thank you for watching and commenting.

Comment of the Week on YouTube:

"What a beautiful blend of words music and image.

My restless roving eye
moused a thumbnail and
came to rest in reeds with your bird.
Just discerned and ghostly
the swan roams freely between page and pond
as your gentle voice carries me beyond
to think of larger things
in our troubled human world
way beyond the slowly busy swan."

Yeats, Larkin, Hughes, Heaney...thanks for the post, greatly. But don't rely on the sounds, cos the poetic giants are already doing it for you. t
