It’s been awhile since we’ve featured any poetry so here is a poem called Beethoven, written and performed by the one and only Shane Koyczan – a Canadian poet, wordsmith, musician, humourist, observer, story teller, and all around amazing artist.

Koyczan also belongs to a couple of performance ensembles called: Shane Koyczan and the Short Story Long , we like Atlantis, and Tons Of Fun University (T.O.F.U.), try Static – the styles are quite different but the passion conveyed throughout all his works is inspiring.

For more of Koyczan’s poems, look for his book, Visiting Hours, which is a collection of some of his poetry.

(When did we become an aggregator of random youtube videos? You must admit, this Shane fellow is pretty darn awesome.)
