Last year Derrick Brown did living room readings. I don’t think anyone there had ever read his poetry; I had barely been introduced a few days before. http://vimeo.com/6013960

Compared to any staged, stacked or emceed poetry reading, well, it was kind of like learning you hadn’t ever had good sex.

Granted, he’s a more engaging poet than many, and he reads poems that should be read aloud, like they should sound.  I still think that a lot of the intimacy would have been lost in any a more austere setting.

As a listener, it had a profound and searing impact; if I could speak for the non-poetry-reading kind, I’d say they could not help but connect with this living poetry that was funny and sad and sweet and took you somewhere.

Awesome! I always loved Sontag’s ‘Notes On Camp’. Lucid and concise.
