			<![CDATA[This is a great lecture for young writers, and some beautiful reading for anyone who liked his stuff from last Friday. Komunyakaa isn't just a great writer, he is one of the best readers in the business. Dig the part where he talks about building a poem--it's true for all writing, and I think all story-telling. I remember watching Mad Men and getting the same feeling one might have admiring a great piece of architecture. <br /><br />Here's <a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/ipa/poems/komunyakaa/venus%27-flytraps.php">a link </a>to Venus's Fly Traps, which he reads in this lecture.<br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g_6fjPitzUc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g_6fjPitzUc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></object>]]>
