Speak Like You Mean It

Typography from Ronnie Bruce on Vimeo.



This poem is by Taylor Mali, and it speaks to my deep seated love for the English language and modern rhetoric. I've dedicated my education life to this type of thing, and I have become so fascinated with the way we try to persuade audiences and move language around that it almost destroys me as an audience member. Mali does what poets do best, he speaks and sees prophetically what we do not.
