Aesop’s ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ (Crisell Adaptation) and Other Classics Read by Andrew Benson Brown The Society January 3, 2024 Children's, Classical Poets Live, Poetry, Readings 9 Comments . . . Andrew Benson Brown has had poems and reviews published in a few journals. His epic-in-progress, Legends of Liberty, will chronicle the major events of the American Revolution if he lives to complete it. Though he writes history articles for American Essence magazine, he lists his primary occupation on official forms as ‘poet.’ He is, in other words, a vagabond.

Flott January 3, 2024 fantastico!! Reply ABB January 5, 2024 Thanks, Phil. Reply Norma Pain January 3, 2024 Very enjoyable Andrew, especially ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’. Reply ABB January 5, 2024 Thanks Norma. If you go to the shorts feed and scroll down a while, you will also encounter the anti-haiku you wrote that Coats used as an example in her guide to the form. Reply Norma Pain January 5, 2024 Thank you for the note on my infamous Haiku (how not to write one) 🙂 Louis Groarke January 5, 2024 Lovely range; from the very nicely done and read children’s fable, to Michelangelo wrestling with art and death, to life’s inevitable choices. Thanks, Louis Reply ABB January 5, 2024 thanks for watching, Louis. Reply Joseph S. Salemi January 5, 2024 Three great readings, and the visual accompaniments are superbly done. The images chosen for Michelangelo’s sonnet are particularly appropriate. Reply Susan Jarvis Bryant January 5, 2024 Admirably done, ABB! All three are visually striking and aurally appealing… you lift the art of poetry to beautiful heights. Thank you!
