Buffalo reunion reading 2

Several different types of style at public readings evident last night. Range from true improvisation - poet takes mike w nothing more than a theme and sees where it will take him - why not try this w theme suggested from audience? - to performance in which text almost immaterial to very slow careful reading in which audience can hear each word (cb) to one poem after another w minimal intro or context to very careful establishment of context for one poem (Af) to a lot of talk and before each piece read (me) - which way's best? Maybe all maybe the variety of styles at a single reading is the best experience for all.
