Billy Collins

Billy Collins is a poet, who turned his poems into animation. I think it is actually a very good and interesting ideas. Because now a days, people are not the interested in poetry anymore, but animations. After watching five animations of Billy Collins poems, my favorite one is The Dead. This is the fist one I saw, probably because of its title, The DeadI, which is very attracted. I really like the drawings, I think it really brings out the mood and the emotions of the poem. But I don't like how the person read the poem. He has no emotions in his words. He really sounded like a zombie. Other than that, I think the clip is very good. The drawings really suit the poems, they actually let the audience to see the images that Billy Collins was trying to say in his poem.
