One part of the article struck me in particular. The bolded words here:
In the age of YouTube and cameraphones and TiVo, we’re increasingly inundated with moving images. But the animated GIF lets us stop and ponder a single moment in the stream, to resee something that otherwise would zip by unnoticed.
Seems that sentence could just as easily say poetry lets us stop and ponder a single moment in the stream, to resee something that otherwise would zip by unnoticed.
Thought I'd share here, in going with the "what a poem can be" theme of the workshop. See the rest of that Wired article here.
See you next week!
