"the laughing heart" in Betting on the Muse. Also the title of the 1996 NYG.

I like that one a lot. And the inscription there at the end is wonderful. Thanks Bill !

 

[james]

yea, not bad at all...

 

[Bukfan]

It's a good poem and it has a great message. I like it a lot.

But who was reading that? The inscription at the end was for sale on eBay a few days ago, I believe.

 

[number6horse]

The reader was Tom O'Bedlam. He has many poems by Buk and others on his YouTube channel.

This guy's voice fits the poems at least:

I'm sure one/some of his readings have been posted before. Edit: merged threads.

Not for me I'm afraid.

Tom Waits' reading in "Born Into This" is pretty good, too. One of my his best, up there with Bluebird for sure.

 

[gbsupbowl]

"Born Into This" is not a poem

 

[vanzeller]

I know, I said his reading IN Born Into This, the documentary. Tom Waits' reading of The Laughing Heart. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

If you can read this you don't need glasses.
