Typographic poetry in motion

03.17.11

Maybe you’ve seen this? It’s a wonderful celebration of type-in-motion from Ronnie Bruce based on a poem by New York performance poet Taylor Mali, who measures his life in a variety of ways: He has 11 years of experience as a professional spoken word artist; he has one book, one DVD, and four cds; for 10 months, he was the official voice of Burger King; he was a national poetry slam champion four times; three times he appeared on the HBO original series “Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry”; for nine years he taught college, high school, and middle school; and once, in a single SCRABBLE game, he earned a score of 581; but MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, after hearing his work, 650 people have told him they will now become teachers.
