YouTube Video Covers
for Walt Whitman Poetry Readings
My friend and poet Iryna Khadarenka came up with the idea to celebrate the Bicentennial of Walt Whitman's poetry. She translated some of Whitman's poetry into the Belarusian language and suggested recording the readings together with a jazz-music. Thus, we will popularize Walt Whitman among Belarusians and pay tribute to the outstanding writer in his bicentennial.
Together we tried to find and put the emotions of the actor in the recording of each poem. I believe we succeeded. And the last step was to add covers for YouTube videos on the channel.
From the actors' photos, I selected those that best suited the poem and created the covers.
Audio recordings are in Belarusian, but in my opinion, «emotions have no alphabet», so you are welcome to watch, subscribe and share them:
