Thing (Floating Wolf Quarterly Chapbooks)

About Floating Wolf Quarterly

---

Discussing the reading constantly inspires me, too. I dance close to the cliff. I find that students are by and large fans of that kind of dancing, as long as they can hear the music. Talk about the art of giving a good reading.

What have other poets taught you about stage presence, delivery, and audience engagement? What makes for a memorable reading? Each of those three powerful poets has a starkly different reading style—Claudia is arch and distant, Michael is brave Buddha, and Joe is nihilistically experimental. Of course we all do better when we read to smart and sympathetic audiences. I see everything, professional-creativity and performance-wise, through the prism of music, which I did as a job for about ten years after college.

I was always accompanied by the technology of my guitar, and often by the added technology of my band.

Not to mention the technology of the arrangement, reverb, distortion, persona, etc. A thousand mirrored masks. Lecturing at UCLA, standing in front of thirty students and talking for two hours at a time, has forced me to develop new masks, new mirrors. When I give readings now I have no guitar but I have this slim black book in my hand and I have my obsessions.

Sometimes I have a microphone.

I always liked it when I was heckled as a singer and never understood why anyone without a mic would heckle someone with one.
