This, THIS, is why I love poetry . . .

You know, I tell students all the time that poetry is not merely about the visual. It has to be heard. I has to be performed.

And when it's done well, dear Lord. It changes mind, hearts, and souls. It emboldens, it soothes, it swoons, it enrages.

This woman is amazing. This poem is amazing.

Please be aware, she does drop one F-bomb. If you would like to see it without that word, please watch this version here.

Otherwise, I think every single woman in the world should watch this once a day.
