[stylist] How to Read a Poem

[KajunCutie926 at aol.com]

I miss that as well, Lynda.... Although I still read  print, book printing 
has changed and it's gotten more difficult for me...audio  books are great 
but I miss the feel of that book in my hands and having my nose  buried 
between the pages..

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.
