[stylist] How to Read a Poem

[Lynda Lambert]

We are in the same boat - I have to scan mine in, too.
I miss being able to read aloud so much, and to hold the book in my hands, 
and feel the heft of it, and the touch of the pages as I turn them. It would 
be great to be in a poetry group again and have someone read your porm so 
you can hear the voice of it. I miss that very much.
