TEDxNASA - Tim Seibles - Why Poetry?

His streetwise, syncopated poems zero in on such wide-ranging

subjects as basketball, sex, dogs, race in America and the inner

thoughts of cartoon characters. An extraordinary poet and dynamic

reader, Tim Seibles is the recipient of the Open Voice Award and

fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the

Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center. His love for Greek and Roman

mythology and dreams of writing science fiction novels were balanced

by a driving ambition to become a professional football player.

Ultimately he discovered poetry. Now poet and professor, he is the

author of five collections of poetry, most recently Buffalo Head Solos.

Elegant and silly, irreverent and fun, his poetry celebrates the spirit’s

little moments of joy.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
