I cannot believe it has taken me this many years to finally see the movie, Dead Poets Society, but it has and it was excellent! So this week I urge you to check it out either at your local library or video store because it is a wonderful movie with passion for life and poetry.
May you be inspired those of you who watch the movie and please drop in next week for another poetry site…

i can't you haven't seen it before! what a great movie.
i own it and may just watch it again this weekend.
oh, ever since i grew out the beard and hair, i look like a sweaty-toothed mad man. :)
Justin,
You are lucky to own it, I'll be adding it to my Christmas Wish List this year. As for the sweaty-toothed mad man, that's a great line for a poem evoking strange images of sweating teeth. I hope you post pics somewhere for me to find, thanks for the laugh!
After watching the film I started reading "Leaves of Grass" which I still read from time to time so great and symphonic in the enthusiasm they convey and then....The Horace thing the film breathes...here in Italy it became a myth, the fleeting present moment. Catch it, catch it, there's nothing ever to postpone....
Tommaso--I need to read Leaves of Grass. I tried to read it years ago but wasn't ready for it, now I think I may be.
