  • @eineScheibeBrot - while i find it surprising that you see this reading as merely "smiling" (do you understand what you see?) - that's rather beside the point.

    One of the joys of any art form, including poetry, is that once it's in the public space it belongs to the beholder as well. In any which way they choose to interpret it.

    It's a bit arrogant to believe that your interpretation is in any way more "appropriate" than anybody else's, don't you think?

  • miss brot... what demonic cursed words you conjure... what could possibly posses one to question another's succor with poetry.. maybe she sought a little happiness in her requiem for regret.. maybe she sought laughter.. or maybe she sought to levant her peace with words that give her.. her past.. and what she lives.. a little comfort.. sadly it is your superficiality that renders you blind to see the contours of life untold beneath her smile.. and deaf to hear what her eyes implore...

  • the disturbing thing is that we remain exposed to the electronic stage that wharfs your frustrated venom.. which we entreat you to confine to the vacuum of your soul.. her erotic prowess is but a mote to render the journey towards the heart of the lioness.. so perilous.. so precarious.. and so worth it..

  • Seems like only one person got an impression of superficiality here. No argument on this: "yet ... you have an appropriate intonation."

  • Smiling? Yes, she was, but in an erotic, smile-thinly-covering-wanton-l­ust way, which matches the poem's subtle coyness well. Was Plath really afraid of the big bad panther, really? Fearing those hungry, hungry, taut thighs? Yeah... Plath must have been dripping with fear... or just dripping. Direct eye contact would have ruined the coyness of the piece, especially with this reader's piercing eyes, and ruin the suspension of disbelief. Why would the lioness fear the panther?

  • when my english teacher read this poem out it was flat and we didnt understand the intensity and erotic nature of plaths relationship with hughes. this rendition is inviting and sexy. because the poem otherwise is quite dark.

  • sorry for telling you, but do you understand what you read? or, let's say better, do you feel it? i really can't see how you can read such a poem smiling.

    yes, you are beautiful and you have good voice and so on, yet you give the impression of superficiality and you have an appropriate intonation.

    another disturbing thing is the reading. striking eyes, but why not eye contact and a deep recital?

    your sing-song is flattening.

  • Beautiful and powerful poem, beautifully read by a strikingly beautiful lady.

  • I enjoyed your reading. You have amazing eyes.
