Poetry for display, gifting, anniversaries, openings, wedding parties, birthdays, holidays or more. A classic form of entertainment.
In all the hotels I managed in the course of 55 years I made a point of introducing music or extending it. A string quartet or a harp here, a classical trio there, even a full dance band at weekends if I could get away with it. Had I known then what I know now about contemporary performance poetry, I’d probably have introduced that as well!
My first visit to one of Sara Hirsch’s performances opened my eyes to a whole new world of contemporary culture. A professional actress, performance poet and captivating personality, her work covers an astonishing range for someone so young. She made us laugh – and gasp – with ‘The Proposal’ and she made my wife cry with her reminiscences of a beloved father who died young and a dear grandfather who lived long.
Read. See. Listen. Enjoy the beauty of the spoken word in the hands of an expert.
