Kudos, Mark! My immediate reaction is that your poetry would come across great read aloud. May this be the first of many times.

I've read several times to audiences in various settings, though I have to admit, I never really enjoyed it. I'd like that to change but so far it hasn't. I rationalize my public reading aversion by remembering things poets have said about hating to read aloud. Pound said it about readings in London in the nineteen-teens. Stevens hardly ever if ever did (correct me if I'm wrong on this, somebody). But I do think it's a lovely thing to do, if the poet is into it and some people are kicking back to listen. Which it sounds like you and they were.

Mark, that's great, and I hope it's the first of many.

You should read aloud to yourself constantly, Mark.
Hell, I write aloud.
My kids would kill me, Nemo. But of course, you're right. I sometimes do, while parked in the staff car-park at school. Casual observers probably think I'm having a nervous breakdown.

Cheers folks.

Hi Andrew!
