Thanks! I’ve swapped it in.

This was my very first post at Moving Poems, so I’m glad your film is not only still live on the web, but better than ever.

If you do decide to re-do it in HD and post the new version to YouTube, please let me know and I'll swap it in. That's a very intriguing interpretation of "could not see – to see"!

My good friend Melissa Miller, now a political science professor, did the reading for me the year after we graduated from college. It was based on a reading by a professor I had in college, who said that the narrator "could not see - to see" because the fly had landed on her eye! So gruesome it stuck with me, and at a low and lonely time in my life, it seemed an apt project. It is still one of my favorite things I have made. I think the pixelly quality might be slightly better on my website, but it comes from technical constraints of properly digitizing the 16mm original. Perhaps I should re-do it now in HD, now that that is a possibility. It’s nice to see my piece here.

Does the animation add or detract? Always good to rethink an old friend of a poem. Thanks! Hmmm — a very different reading from one I would give it. Does the animation add or detract?
