Thank you for addressing this head on! I took my son to a reading at a local university which has a great reputation for poetry. Unfortunately even the guest poet spoke to the podium, not to the audience, and the majority of the students in the writing program read so quietly and tonelessly that I wanted to stand up and shout, “Don’t you people want your work to be heard? This is why people consider poetry boring!”

I’d love to take a class like this – I suspect that my poetry on the page, and not just my reading of it, would improve a lot. Who knows, if I can get enough writer friends in my area together I might just informally organize something like this myself…
