There are no Poets, only Poetic Behaviour. | Mark Grist | TEDxCluj

Identifying as a poet seemed like identifying as a unicorn at first. The story of him becoming one begins with Byron's dog, trying to impress his girlfriend's mother. Deciding at the end to stick with something Nichita Stanescu said. "There are no poets, there are only poems." Aiming to ditch labels for persons :)
