The Dream of the Kraken from The Last of the Wallendas and other Poems by Russell Hoban.

This poem always fascinated me and I asked Russell Hoban some years ago to read and record the poem for me. He was so kind and it took me a long time to use this thrilling recording in an animation (please turn the sound on to hear it; this animation is best viewed in the dark).

Hope you enjoy it.

Happy 83rd birthday, Russ!
