1. This commercial by Levis uses a poem called "The Laughing Heart" by Charles Buckowski
2. The majority of the time corporations try to suck buyers in and trap them within their own materialistic society. This would make "The Laughing Heart" an ironic poem to use for this commercial because it talks about breaking free while breaking free is the exact thing that corporations are trying to prevent
3. Charles Buckowski had a troubled childhood, from moving to America from Germany as a boy, having an unemployed father, and often witnessing his father beat his mother, his past is greatly present in his writing. In much of it he depicts experiences and people that he has come across and in this particular poem he reflects on how he made it through the tough patches of his life and what he has learned from it all.
4. To find the information for number one I just plugged a line of the poem into Google which gave me the title and author. From there I went on to Google Charles Buckowski and learned more about his background.
