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!SSeabolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227431051062061812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371750461415154073.post-21911776722948274252010-04-04T12:18:17.365-05:002010-04-04T12:18:17.365-05:00Matt and I also found Gordon Greene's works ve...Matt and I also found Gordon Greene's works very interesting.<br /><br />-Rebekah SaizRebekah_Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124119693387460946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371750461415154073.post-45215209008665232242010-04-04T11:30:32.632-05:002010-04-04T11:30:32.632-05:00I loved how Gordan Green just red his works.

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.Joshua Grassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18044499439462324420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4371750461415154073.post-50065272116248861522010-04-03T23:37:34.084-05:002010-04-03T23:37:34.084-05:00i enjoyed the reading by Gordon Green "Protra...i 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.

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.

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.
