CoPo

So I have to say I was blown away by Baggott’s reading tonight…eeeven though she rebelled against the poetry-reading requests, I thought it was refreshing after reading Complusions to hear her prose writing style from the excerpt from her co-authored novel. I think a lot of it was that I had never really seen a poet reading their own poetry for an audience before…but I was surprised at how human she is, her sense of humor and quick wit, I thought she was quite charming. The whole time she was reading the excerpt from the novel, I was entranced by how very clever and almost rapid-fire her prose writing style is, chock full of specific details. Basically, I’m dying to buy the novel and read the rest of it ASAP!

Anyway, most of this doesn’t really have to do with poetry but I was so excited about enjoying an author’s reading so much that I had to write about it.
