Poetry Breaks: Thylias Moss Reads "All Is Not Lost When Dreams Are"

The Poetry Breaks series is a series of videos filmed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by creator Leita Luchetti, who co-produced the series with the WGBH New Television Workshops. Poetry Breaks features short videos of internationally renowned poets reading their work, reading the work of other poets, and discussing their takes on poetry in a variety of locations. The Academy of American Poets has partnered with Luchetti to present these videos once again.

In this video, Thylias Moss reads her poem “All is Not Lost When Dreams Are” and discusses reinventing joy in her Philips Academy classroom.
