That was great! I can already hear a shift in the tone of your voice, a strength and confidence pushing itself through. Nice choice of works to read too!
Now I'm feeling very nervous about reading my work aloud, probably mostly due to my depressed mood at this moment, but hopefully I'll be out of it soon.
Thanks! I felt more confident reading today. In a way it's good practice for performance poetry - a good start anyway, and that's what I really want to do eventually.
Hope you feel better soon by the way - I'm always around if you want to email me or anything (or not, but the offer's there).
Thanks! I might just do that when I have an ounce (even a milliliter?) of free time. I miss our e-mails, and I definitely could use a person to talk to; I don't feel like there's anyone I can really open up to here at the moment, which is very frustrating. Thanks very much for the offer :)
You're welcome, and I mean it - anytime. I'm not always great at replying quickly at the moment but anytime you just want to vent or write something out or anything, please do.
I wish you were coming here next week and we were going to that Sharon Olds workshop together !! damnit!
I haven't listened to it all yet but I'm excited to! I've started work on the comm - if that's okay? If not, it'll add to my list of unused communities, lol.
Of course it's ok! I'm terrible at getting round to doing that kind of thing. Do you know yet if we can do voice posts to a community? If we can't, we could just do them to our own journal then cut and paste them into the community or cross post them or something.
I can't really listen at work, but I stole a little sneak peek listen and loved what I heard -- you have a lovely voice! I may try to figure this system out and read an Edna St Vincent Millay.
I can't wait to really sit down and hear the whole thing! ;)
Thank you! And yeah! I'd love to hear you reading - it's really easy to do. There's a question on the FAQ page where they tell you how to do it.
I look forward to it! We're going to try and start a community for voice posting us reading poems - our own and our favourite ones. I think I prefer reading other people's poems... you'd be very welcome to join that once it's going!
I created one (like I said, if it's not okay, no biggie :)) and made a banner but photobucket is being stupid so I can't show you yet :( I named it "versified" - that sound okay?
