I really enjoyed that video. It gave me insights into poems that, while I may have heard them, I never knew the backstory or the wider context. Like a mini-class without the messy Zoom interface!

Great stuff, Jason. When you speak of creators not controlling our work in terms of its interpretation, it puts me in mind of my oft repeated assertion that writing is a collaboration between author and reader. Readers bring their own imagination and interpretation to the work, in a sense, making the story unique for every reader. The same idea applies to any artistic medium.
