(VIDEO) Frank Mundo reads The Brubury Tales at UCLA

I started a new youtube channel for videos of readings. The first two videos are up, which are from a reading of The General Prologue of my book The Brubury Tales I did at UCLA's Kerckhoff Hall.

I definitely need to get my own camera and post some higher quality videos and audios than these in the future. For now, these are all I have, so they'll have to do. I hope you like it.

Much better video reading of The Brubury Tales

My wife made this great video reading. The audio is much better than the UCLA video reading of The General Prologue to The Brubury Tales.

Poetry Video: Frank Mundo Reading a Sestina at Occidental College

I was invited to read poetry at Occidental College a few months back. I'm not sure if this link will work, but here is a video of me reading a sestina I wrote for my brother called, "Waste of Shame"

https://www.facebook.com/frank.mundo/...

If you want to read the poem, it was published in Angel City Review Issue 3 here --> http://angelcityreview.com/category/i...

According to poets.org, the sestina follows a strict pattern of the repetition of the initial six end-words of the first stanza through the remaining five six-line stanzas, culminating in a three-line envoi. The lines may be of any length, though in its initial incarnation, the sestina followed a syllabic restriction. The form is as follows, where each numeral indicates the stanza position and the letters represent end-words:

1. ABCDEF
2. FAEBDC
3. CFDABE
4. ECBFAD
5. DEACFB
6. BDFECA
7. (envoi) ECA or ACE

The envoi, sometimes known as the tornada, must also include the remaining three end-words, BDF, in the course of the three lines so that all six recurring words appear in the final three lines. In place of a rhyme scheme, the sestina relies on end-word repetition to effect a sort of rhyme.
