I loved Gordon Greene's Portait in New York. I enjoyed the romantic side of the story, and he did a great job of describing in detail what was happening. It made me feel like I was there. I also really liked the ending. It had so much meaning. Very well done!

I went to the 9 am on Saturday (session 16) and absolutely loved it! All of the readers did a wonderful job. I had a tennis tournament all day yesterday and was absolutely wiped out when I woke up this morning. Even so, my attention was held the entire time. Not a single portion was even slightly disappointing. Thank you to all the readers!

I really enjoyed the readings, Jane Taylor was awesome.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed George McCormick's poem, The Empire Builder. It was interesting
ReplyDeleteGordon Greene's Portrait in New York was my favorite. Mr. Greene was very enthusiastic about his work. He showed his books and interacted with the audience. His story was good and it was easy to follow along. Mr. Greene is a great speaker and has an amazing sense of humor.

Gordan Greene is an amazing reader. I loved all of his work. His "Portrait in New York" definately had a romantic theme to it. I enjoyed the story's details of the happy couple, David and Jenny. I also liked how he ended with something to think about. It made the whole story seem more philisophoical I think. Overall, amazing. Thank you so much for the reading.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed the reading by Gordon Green "Protrait in New York". I went to the Reading at 2:00-3:15 on thursday. i thought that it was interesting because reading was something that could have happened to anyone in a big city. He also had great character while reading, it really helped draw me into what he was reading about.
ReplyDeleteJames Hoggard was by far my favorite reader/poet at the festival. I was anxious to hear his take on Hopper's paintings, and he far exceeded my expectation; beautiful, yet spare language clearly captured Hopper's own artistic voice and the story behind these enigmatic works. I love and admire many of the poems I hear at Scissortail, but Hoggard's poems are some of the few I am anxious to teach to my students. Am now eagerly devouring his book, Triangles of Light.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Nathan Brown's poems. His poems were about every day life, which made it interesting for me. I would like to read more.

I loved how Gordan Green just red his works. He put emotion into the stories which I thought brought them alive. The one I liked the most that he red was Animal Cracker. There was just something about this one that stuck out to me. Goran Green was amazing.
ReplyDeleteMatt and I also found Gordon Greene's works very interesting.

Patricia Goodrich had me captivated the minute she started speaking. Every poem she read spoke to me, like we were kindred spirits in some way. I didn't even write down the titles of her poems because I was so drawn to her and her words. I laughed, fought tears and reminisced about times in my life as I listened to her poems about her life and family. I truly enjoyed her readings!
ReplyDeleteBryan Mitschell was my favorite speaker. I LOVED "Sleeping Girl Blue." It was funny and probably my favorite one. =)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite poem was "A Father's Confession" by Alan Berecka. It was a very funny piece and I liked the part about the little kid diving on 3rd base like it was a grenade.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite speaker was probably John Yozzo, he had some pretty interesting stories.
ReplyDeletei liked the gentalmen who read the short story A Portait in New york i believe it was called, i liked his enthusiasm and character. I thought he brought some feel to what he was reading
