In this chapter, Robert Gu, a poet from an earlier era, attends a modern high school composition class where students create multimedia performances using advanced technology. Despite the flashy special effects of his classmates, Robert presents a simple spoken poem about the natural landscape, which momentarily captivates the class but also provokes ridicule from some students. The chapter highlights the tension between traditional literary talent and the overwhelming use of technology in contemporary creative expression.
