I’m wanting to get more practice reading and recording other peoples’ poems to their taste. The way I do readings for miPO is left up to my own discretion, generally. I’d like to try reading to fit an author’s notion of how the poem should sound.

I know that in some of my readings, I’m missing the point of the poem, not at all capturing what the poet meant. So few discussions of poetry allow the poet just to say, “No, I really meant this, not that.”

So, if you’d be interested in playing along because you’re bored or interested, or if you want a recording of any of your poems, please let me know.

I’m finding the only way to learn poetry reading is to do poetry reading. I guess it’s always the way.
