I went to a reading by Alex Lemon this evening. For those who don't know of him, he is the author of Happy: a Memoir, and he is also a poet. His story was... well, a bit disturbing, to be honest, but the way he presented it- with excerpts from his memoir- was fascinating. I loved the writing style, he used- even his prose sounded rather poetic.
I'll admit, I'm a bit biased against contemporary poetry simply because I'm not used to reading it much, but it was sort of mesmerizing to listen to. I can appreciate his style of writing- and the emotion he puts into reading it.
