    It's the voice behind the poem. I think one of the most powerful parts of reading poetry comes from the expression every writer puts into their poem. So I'm opening up a chance for YWS poets to voice their own poetry via YouTube as it really is the simplest medium to do something like this.

    Pretty much, the whole idea is to record yourself (or just your voice and an image) reading your poem.

    Why? Because poetry takes on a different light when heard and not just read.

    Anyways, I'm opening up this youtube channel for anyone to use to read their poem if they so choose.

You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future, not a future that will be but one that might be. This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace.
