where's that from?

"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 !

yea, not bad at all...

Bukfan · Jul 29, 2010

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.

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.

"Born Into This" is not a poem

vanzeller · Feb 3, 2014

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.
