Taylor Mail

So my wife consistently tortures me with Taylor Mali videos.  According to his website this is his introduction: 

“Our featured reader is New York City performance poet Taylor Mali, one of the most well-known poets to have emerged from the poetry slam movement and one of the original poets to appear on the HBO series “Def Poetry Jam.” A four-time National Poetry Slam champion, Mali is the author of two collections of poetry and, most recently, a book of essays called “What Teachers Make: In Praise of the Greatest Job in the World.”

In April of 2012, Mali completed a 12-year project of convincing 1,000 people to become teachers and marked the occasion by donating 12 inches of his hair to the American Cancer Society. Once the official voiceover on all Burger King commercials for radio and television, Taylor Mali has narrated several books on tape. He has also taught college, high school, and middle school; and once, in a single SCRABBLE game, earned a score of 581! Please help me welcome a true advocate for teachers, Taylor Mali.”

His poetry is interesting, comical and he certainly does love teachers which is always a bonus.  So now I will pass my tortured existence on to you (it's not so bad really)
