Animated Poems
"Forgetfullness" and "The Dead," by Billy Collins, have been recreated into video poems. The first captures the meaning of growing old and maps instances of lost memory. The second maps the places and moments in which the dead are in contact with the living.

I would love to see that meta-atlas that would compile all this mapping that occurs.
Perhaps that atlas would be available in Jorge Luis Borges' "Library of Babel" (an exquisite poam in which an infinite library is configured as a form of ladder system of enclosure. I am quite fond of enclosing infinities).
