remaining a fan of your reading, whatever – I want to share a question: Is there an undertone of still being influenced by the way you were taught to read (poems) at school? – And here is another one: What might happen if you read not from your heart but from you gut? Have a good/day/night and thank you for posting and taking care, Yogi…
I don’t know believe I was ever taught to read poems in school. We did have assignments to read poems. I remember choosing McCrae’s “In Flander’s Fields” basically because it was short and lyrical enough to be easily memorized. But instruction about HOW to read was not really a thing. My post-secondary education was heavily in the Social Sciences, and so I didn’t really have that kind of class in undergrad or grad schools. So, I’m basically winging it, trying to find the rhythm that sings to me.
As for your second question, I don’t really know how to respond as I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
mmh – difficult to explain; one of my psychodrama teachers once said, you have to play Bach (on the piano) with your bum, yes even Bach… not sure that helps?
wow. I love it – waking up to you reading this, in this here zone. Thank you.
