poetry animations - 0 views

This video is really cool! And there are many more like it on youtube. Essentially the videos are of pictures of poets with animated mouths. They move corresponding to the words on an audio track of the poem, so it looks like they are speaking the poetry outloud. It's a good way to listen to a poem or reading your version while listening to the audio. Perhaps the listener can also see how others would approach reading and vocalizing the poem.
