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.
