Poet's videos on Youtube - identification help
January 31, 2023 4:02 PM   Subscribe

I'm looking for a poet who had videos on Youtube to accompany their poetry. Details I recall: - Ranty / slam poetry style - Poet was (possibly?) open about being schizophrenic. - Videos were crude composites of pictures or two/three frame animations. Two pieces I remember:

- One repeating "I went to the store and..." with a list of things that had happened to them at stores, with a Google Maps picture of the store in question for each one.
- One about animal testing and the cruelty thereof, to pictures of factory farming, with the refrain "Animals don't feel pain! Animals can't feel pain!"

Best answer: Don't have a video link, but your second one ("animals don't feel pain / animals can't feel pain") sounds like "I Quit" by Bryan Lewis Saunders. Bandcamp audio link for I Quit.

Response by poster: "I Quit" by Bryan Lewis Saunders.

Yes! That's it. And here's the video for The Store now that I know what to search for. Sadly it looks like the video for "I Quit" is no longer online.
