Reaction to Tim Seibel's Presentation


Earlier I thought some of his poems reflected negative emotions except those love poems which were descriptive and nostalgic, but when I listened to the poet I could understand what his view to the world was at least briefly. Although some Tim Seibel’s poems discusses about discrimination, wrong worldwide policies, suffering of human beings, and rejection, he is optimist and also as he wrote in my book “You must have hope. There is the chance always for change”. Human beings suffer in some way, so they ended physically and emotionally damaged. The first time they could get a “wound” inside them, but next time they will be aware of who or what cause the harm. In like manner, a previously wounded animal will be aware of its predator and act quickly as a “fast animal”. I like a few of his poems because they reflect intense, real, and current issues. However, I dislike that he focused too much in the past remembering his platonic loves. Additionally, he recognizes that America should encourage education or celebrate our progress than live always in conflict.
