I would just love to hear one of your poems aloud (not in MY OWN voice). <br /><br />I particularly love that quote. I had a student last year who was too shy to read his (excellent) writing in our story circles. He always had F____ read them, a 90 year old with a gorgeous oratory gift. And like the quote, she read with reverence and tenderness.Jenniferhttp://www.jensrealia.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-57162312099862178022010-10-27T09:02:39.039-04:002010-10-27T09:02:39.039-04:00I just discovered Nic Sebastian's site recentl...I just discovered Nic Sebastian's site recently after she did a poem by Terresa.

However, hearing it read in Nic Sebastian's sultry British accent was perfect. I enjoyed hearing it even more. <br /><br />I think your voice is very lovely I hope you will read all your future work like in "I am October." <br /><br />I have made everyone listen to that poem and you are so right hearing it out loud brings so much texture to it. <br /><br />Congratulations on your success it very well deserved. <br /><br />KristenKristen Haskellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481526316071592146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-49180619888236156772010-10-25T17:44:52.442-04:002010-10-25T17:44:52.442-04:00What a combination!
