I had the pleasure of getting to know Beth Ann Fennelly when she came to Brazil and declaimed some of her poems at University of Campinas. This poem that has been recorded remainded me of how talented she is.
I would prefer just Beth Ann's words to the sound fx-laden version here, but I still enjoyed this clip. While I haven't read the chapbook version of this poem, the one appearing in her book /Unmentionables/ is considerably longer, considerably more rewarding. But any recordings of her reading her own work are jewels, so thanks for posting this.
My life is decidedly better for having this poet's words in it.
Awesome!

Beth Anne Fennelly is quite arrogant. I had the "privilege" of having her instruct a class in my writing course. Very full of herself.
