I am SO into your poetry readings. All poetry readings, really. It chances my perspective on the poems themselves and how I interpret them. The way I first read Howl and then how I felt it when Ginsberg read it were two wildly different emotions. Last week I was listening to Democracy Now! and they had Viggo Mortenson on reading one of his pieces, and I just can't stop noticing how much power the author's own voice has.

I'm going to listen to this first chance I get.

Awesome! Well, if you click around my soundcloud you should be able to find a playlist that contains most of the OC I've uploaded. (I hate Soundcloud. It seems you can't add tracks to a playlist you've already created. Edit: Fixed! Site was being stupid last night, or I was, I guess. This among several other inane hang-ups the site and app have.) I'm going to keep adding one or two at a time every couple of days, if you want I can let you know on Facebook or somehow when I update. (I am letting my poet-running friend know via Facebook message when I update, so, it's no hardship.)

I hope you like it!

See, you've gone and flattered me so much I just uploaded two more.

I do think my reading of "MY LONELINESS KEEPS ME COMPANY" is pretty solid the whole way through.
