Kei Miller - Some Definitions for Song

I first discovered Kei Miller this year during my post-colonial course. We studied a few other poems he had written but "Some Definitions of Song" have to be my favorite. I liked how the poem highlighted the many variations of song and how definition is subjective rather than objective. I felt this in turn promoted diversity and individuality. Whilst this a common trait of post-colonial literature I found that Miller's approach was refreshing and itself was individual within its categorized genre. All in all this poem is must hear, yes  hear not read his voice is just aah .... amazing.
