    How are I wish I could make just one basket. I was never shown how to do it because I lived in the big city and I was a white girl. Years later when I moved to a small town in Nebraska I met a wonderful Omaha medicine woman Who was willing to teach me but she lived in Kansas and I had no transportation to get to her home. She died and took all of her talents and learning with her. I love you Mrs. Wamego and I miss you.❤

    I love Ed. I love his stories how his mother who was very young when she had him, gave him to her grandmother (I think, I'll watch it again. Everything about him, his land his weaving, his love for nature makes me nostalgic for times when we went in the so called bush and gathered, wild asparagus, berries, fruit that I have never seen anywhere in all the countries we lived in. How much we appreciated a wooden spoon, a chair, logs for the fire, a match, a bambus rod for fishing, everything was meaningful, magical, purposeful. Thank you.

He made every class so fun every week! I'm looking foward to getting in to the Concert Hall at Old Town School of Music today! Although, just found out the Tickets are sold out!

    The hands are a definite distraction, and such a shame, because the recitation is not bad... Excellent selection.

  • @MacKenziePoet
    @MacKenziePoet Před měsícem

    Miss Hansen has had the literary acumen to select a Brontë poem which is not well known, thus adding to her audience's knowledge-always a wonderful thing to do. She has also quite evidently worked through situating the poem historically and philosophically. This is my favorite recitation of the set, because it reveals both the genius of Emily Brontë as well as Miss Hansen's special insight which, through her recitation, becomes our own insight.

  • @MacKenziePoet
    @MacKenziePoet Před měsícem

    Some talent there, but wasted on a poor selection. I would like to hear some Shakespeare sonnets, or even John Donne, in Miss Norman's voice.

  • @MacKenziePoet
    @MacKenziePoet Před měsícem

    Yes, never a good idea to go conversational with classic poetry, especially in the sonnet form. The sonnet is really quite musical, but all its wonderful qualities fly out the window here.

  • @MacKenziePoet
    @MacKenziePoet Před měsícem

    Miss Carey is at the very least attempting to measure out the phrases, and this allows her to add her own phraseological variations to effect. I would like to see her get a little more help in this, because she is really on the right track.

  • @MacKenziePoet
    @MacKenziePoet Před měsícem

    Too much variation in the cadence, and other problems (primarily in the breath), but let's just be happy that someone has had the good taste to recite Dover Beach. Don't let emotions replace the text. Yes, grand to identify the long syllables and understand how the poet uses them, but not so grand to exaggerate them quite so much.
