A genuine reading of this moving poem. Beautiful lyricism.

I enjoyed seeing Laura closer up than where I was sitting during her live reading. A musical---even slightly danced--- reading of a lovely tribute to Alfred Peet.

Wow. Beautiful, exacting words to pinpoint what can't be pinpointed - the complexities of man. Laura Louis reads her work as if it is music - with incredible rhythm.
