Being a poet means bringing on the angst, and in this work Taylor Mali brings all it.  The video piece commissioned by the Health Teacher  runs on Taylor Mali’s poem “An Apple a Day is Not Enough”as recited by the poet himself.  Outside the artistry of the verse, the voice-over, and the utilized kinetic typography, Taylor Mali emphasizes the significance of health as a skill instead of mere knowledge.

In the midst of the rhymes of “wealthiest”and “healthiest”, Taylor Mali takes the lesson home: health starts at home, health is an everyday practice and not just a school subject, and so on.   With the media currently inundated with politically-driven health campaigns, we definitely want to see more works such as this.  It is direct to the point, it does not scare with statistics and figures, and it speaks to the real audience of the matter, the common people.
