Wow, I really need to listen to poetry more. Like, listen.
I'm a pretty visual person, so I enjoy sitting down with a book and reading it myself, pausing to absorb vibrant words and passages at my own pace. But, there is nothing like listening to a poet read his work aloud. Nothing like hearing where his or her voice rises or falls, to hear where this one individual felt the most emotion. I can read any line of poetry in a myriad of tones, and each twists the underlying meaning in a starkly different way.
And let us not forget the way it sucks you in, brings you into its alternate world.
