poem
persona
patter
Are poems inherently personal? If so, where in those seemingly a-personal poems is the poet lurking?
At a public reading, how much influence does persona exert? Some poets don’t talk much between poems. Patter turned off, but not persona.
Some, ask that applause be held to the end. Delay is measured by distance.
No doubt, food stirs appetite. In a restaurant with an exposed kitchen you can watch, but you can’t cook. You see the flame, but can’t feel the fire.
