I was actually there at the Dodge Foundation reading when Yusef Komunyakaa read. A friend offered to introduce me, but I was starstruck and too chicken. I always get choked up when I read "Facing It."
"she's brushing a boy's hair" gets me every time. His poems are so humble and honest. I've been able to attend his readings 3 times, fhrough the Dodge Foundation and an event at Carnegie Mellon. He never ceases to awe.

A few of you have posted links to soundcloud and youtube of readings. I'm on the list too now.

I would love us to put them in one thread. I want to hear you read your work.
Soundcloud is free, easy to use (i recorded this on my phone straight to soundcloud through their app.)


Looking forward to hearing you.
