      It’s available, find “cc” on top right corner and tap on it. If it’s on , it will be filled with white box.
      I am not sure if it was there when you posted it back then.

    The first part, I'll paraphrase, that the meaning in poems is what you bring to the poem as a reader, this goes for all text. This is not exclusive to poetry. Overall, he seems to fail to explain how to read a poem. Maybe this video was mistitled?

      @ Anthony M ....No and idk buuut i do know your comment helped me understand how to intetupt a poem alot better than this video....its also what mood u bring when its read , someone can see something so sad where another sees hope...thankyou for this simple sentence that helped me put this together so much better than the speaker....sometimes its something as simple as the wording u chose to use and the mood you brought to this comment section....and thankyou again.....i am sent from an english class from penn foster 8/25/2020...

    "Art is the daughter of freedom" If you lived in 1776, this wouldn't make the most sense. Fast forward to today...

      Not to start an argument. Do you think that if the Founding Fathers failed in their rebellion, do you think that the glorious picture of George Washington crossing the river would be made? In the the same sense, art in Stalin russia. The people lacked the freedom to create art that critized Stalin, and Stalin had the freedom to create art to glorify him. Art is the daughter of freedom made sense in every generation. I am a Buddhist, human lives are restrained one way or another. Art is a way for human to express imagination and creativity. "Freedom also come art". The revolutionary wars came forth from the readings of the Classical literatures and John Locke, the publishment of pamplets like Common Sense and of course, the Declaration of Independent.

    As someone who's been raised by school system to have an engineering way of thinking and to be brutally honest; when i have a question about how to read a poem I'm expecting a method and some formulas as an answer. So i find this video utter nonsense.

      He told you something more important than how to read a poem, he told you the whole point of writing a poem, ie: to make people understand the message. Most people, probably including yourself, don't get this.

      happyhornet1000 he is asking for information and instruction on pauses and how to uncover the proper fitting flow of reading and reciting poetry. So, yes-this clip didn’t help with that at all

    This video is misnamed. I did not learn how to read a poem at all, and frankly, I couldn't focus on the guy because I kept focusing on the deep slanted line above his left eyebrow. Completely distracting. This also might be because I don't really care for poetry.
