Aaron N: "I read some of my poetry on Tuesday and, for the first time in my life, I don't want to die immediately upon hearing my recorded voice."
The Hemmingway Cafe Summer Poetry Series sounds like a very cool venue.
Your voice comes across really well! I cringe at what I would sound like. The poetry, too, is impressive. The imagery pops!
I think the key to reading poetry aloud in front of an audience (as opposed to reading aloud alone in a room, which is also important) is for the poet to carefully craft a brief introduction to each poem and give some insight into the poem’s intent. It helps the audience. It’s no longer a poem on a page. It’s performance art.
Great work, Aaron.
