reading poetry
and hearing poetry read
are two worlds apart

the mind processes
words differently when read
than when they are heard

just as with a song
each reader transforms a poem
reading it out loud

texture, color, voice
cadence, evoke emotion
through another's voice
Although public speaking is central to my professional life, reading my own poetry and fiction can be challenging. But it is also very rewarding. If you'd like to hear samples of my poetry (as well as short stories and novel) you can find ample examples of it through my podcasts at https://open.spotify.com/show/1zgnkuAIVJaQ0Gb6pOfQOH
