Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time watching people actually use poetry books (both avid poetry readers and neophytes). Several things became clear in just this most unscientific of research. No matter how learned the reader was, people generally were unsure of themselves in tackling poetry. With the “Poetry Speaks” experience, hearing the poets read the poems gave readers more confidence in their own readings. The logic seemed to be, “If I hear Robert Frost reading ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,’ I now have more confidence that I will be able to read other Frost poems.”
