I’m not sure when or how I first discovered Taylor Mali; I’m just glad I did. What you are about to watch was performed at the very first Page Meets Stage pairing at the Bowery Poetry Club on November 12, 2005. Almost five years later, it still rings true. One little warning about a possible sign language violation, but it’s brief and all part of the total effect (ask Flannery O’Conner about this).

This isn’t the first time I’ve featured this on my blog, and I’m certain it won’t be the last. But, since school starts for me tomorrow and for the students on Monday, this just seemed to be the right time to remember why it is I do what I do.
