In Flanders Fields

The poem, "In Flanders Fields", by John McCrae, is rendered beautifully in an animated video.

What the creator of the video has done will warm the heart of any lover of poetry. In some ways this is a society of dead poets created by a creative and sensitive artist, Jim Clark. What you will see is a photograph of the poet, John McCrae, animated so that it looks like a film of him actually reciting, "In Flanders Fields". McRae's lips "move", his eyes "blink", and his head "moves", creating a satisfying verisimilitude. Keep in mind that John McCrae, a Canadian physician, was killed in 1918. You must see this.

Mr. Clark has animated images of other poets such as John Keats, Alfred Tennyson, and W.B. Yeats. Clark has brought these poets "back to life" in some profound way to live again with the "eternal lines to time" they wrote. I believe there are over thirty of these animated poetry readings created by Mr. Clark. Please, Mr. Clark, bring us more. From the page: "Heres is a virtual movie of John McCrae reading his famous WW1 poem "In Flanders Fields" The poem is read excellently by Gordon Mackenzie. Kind Regards, Jim Clark All rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2008".
