...Aww...but I guess you had to say that last part.<br /><br />I know one other person who has that amazing acting talent. She just hasn't developed it yet. And I'm glad she went to see Carlos Robson with me.Mary Jeddore Blakneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009388111980715114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155801121299284106.post-38205513328222030342011-10-17T07:50:13.841-04:002011-10-17T07:50:13.841-04:00I have to say, I expected a lot of whining too, al...I have to say, I expected a lot of whining too, although I'm more likely to enjoy that kind of thing than you are, since I like poetry so much and am not very often turned off of a poet or poem because of whining. (Which is not necessarily a good thing...)<br />I am very glad that I went with you! I love his rhythm and style, and how he can tailor his speech pattern to his audience. However, I think above all I admire his talent in storytelling, how he can wear the persona of the person he is quoting and replicate it, so that, in one poem called "Sunshine" about an addicted woman, I no longer was listening to Carlos. I was listening to the woman, speaking to Carlos. His talent as a word-smith is also amazing. He can spin an image so real, you can see it in your minds eye easily. His vibrant language and the passion with which he speaks of hope and happiness are rare treasures in poets these days. However, in novel writing, it is harder to find a better author than Jae! ;)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352028124704302540noreply@blogger.com
