I’ve seen a couple of posts on Notes where people were saying they dislike having authors read their stuff because they prefer their inner voice to hearing the author’s voice. At the same time, I’ve always felt poetry is meant to be recited…I certainly read my poems out loud to myself, and love reciting poems I’ve memorized to my kids and nephews and friends (often to their annoyance). So I thought to myself, “Self, you ought to take it to the people who read your stuff.” I thought that was a good idea, so I’m asking you…do you want to hear me read my writing or not?
Thanks in advance, feel free to comment!
Poetry is meant to be read aloud, agree 💯
Make both available, why not?
