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?
