Plus if I made a collection of them I feel like i might need to read them...but I agree they do work better on the page. I haven't tried recording as I don't have a recorder at the moment - I will have to try and borrow one!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090382196937582571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6437685873398520198.post-75240205971921431902011-03-24T11:20:16.845+00:002011-03-24T11:20:16.845+00:00Why do you feel the need to adapt your prose poems...Why do you feel the need to adapt your prose poems to be read aloud? I think the use of capital letters and italics suggest multiple voices in these particular poems. I think you would be compromising your poems if you put it in stanzas to be read aloud. Perhaps a script would be more appropriate; I suggested before that you might record them. I think your prose poems are more subjective than this though, part of their charm is the invitation to imagine, even remember, this child's voice and this is more effective not read aloud.The Word & Imagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00710328228206480443noreply@blogger.com
