As the poet Thomas Gray said, “Poetry is thoughts that breathe and words that burn,”affirming the powerful effect that reading poems out loud has on people. With awareness that the human tongue holds the power to ignite life, these short yet powerful videos capture the passionate voice of an artist embodying verse to unravel a resonant story that can be felt in the core of one’s spirit. The vision of Spoken Sparks is to awaken viewers to wonder by experiencing words that would otherwise be shut away in some book on the shelf come to life in a sonically rich and imagistic way— ultimately increasing one’s appetite for beauty.
All videos are created and produced by the excellent image visionary team, Gabrielle Johnson and Stephanie Hanno.
