Mr. Hall certainly has a wonderful poetry ‘reading voice.’
thats not very nice rosa booooo!
why does he move his lips like tht?
Indeed, JADYONE, it would seem so.
He is absolutely charming and, quite obviously, brilliant. Oh, how I wish I was a cheerleader in times far, far removed from these…when
poets still wrote about my thighs. Sadly, the times are these and….I am a man.
Is he eatting his beard???
What a joy! Intelligent poetry by a master. I’ll read more of his work.
Yeah, I just got it from the library a few weeks ago and I love it! Not to mention the fact that it came with a poetry reading CD with it! Haha. Thanks, God bless you too.
