Delirious – Poetry Reading by L T Garvin

Published by broussardlana on November 18, 2016

My poem, Delirious, appearing on Wildsound. I’ve never had anyone else read my poetry aloud, so I was rather surprised that it sounded okay. It’s just another avenue to publish your work if anyone is interested….

    I like hearing poetry read – as long as it is read well. I especially like hearing poets read their own work – it gives added impetus to the work I think. And I like that poem! Have you ever considered adding an oral reading to your poetry posts?

      I was thinking of videotaping and reading my posts on my Youtube channel….I keep struggling with the setup, though. Right now, I just have my book trailer on there with 8 whole views, ha ha!

    Very good and you must be happy with the reading LT.
    I used to write verses for work colleagues if they were retiring/leaving and such like and foolishly allowed a supervisor to read one out during a particular leaving do… They absolutely murdered it! I always managed to conquer my nerves after that and read my efforts out myself. I’m more than capable of ruining my own stuff without anyone helping me.

      Oh I’ll bet that’s right, ha ha. I’ve never let anyone else read my stuff so I’m sure that can happen. I guess the Wildsound people are pros, I was pretty happy. She probably did better than I could have, ha ha.

    Lana, your poem sounded great and what an new avenue for poets to get their work out ‘there’! Well done for submitting – a very positive experience.

      Thanks Diana, I thought it might be a site that others would like to check out to publicize their work. I’ve thought about adding my poetry to my booming Youtube channel with 8 whole views, ha ha. I think some of your beautiful writing would sound nice on Wildsound 😀

    Thanks for informing us of this — I’d never heard of this website before. How cool to hear your words recited aloud by someone else!

      It was a bit different, Debbie, but I liked it. I don’t know if it would be as good with my southern accent if I did it, ha ha. This might be something that other writers might like to do, so I wanted to let everyone know about it.

        I, for one, would be delighted to hear your southern accent reading it! (My own accent would knock me out of the reading, too, I’m afraid!)

          Oh I think we are always more critical of ourselves than anyone else is…I remember one time having to record a class I was teaching….I just hated listening and watching myself, lol!

    That was so cool, Lana. It’s always weird to hear someone else read your work, their interpretation, inflection, pauses/stops, etc. But it gives you an idea of if or how well you got your message across to the reader. Personally, I loved it and might try it with one of my poems. 🙂
