Poetry Readings

These Poetry Readings offer an additional mode of experiencing the James A. Emanuel Project. Poetry is meant to be read, heard, recited and felt. A reading can provide a type of interpretation of the poem based on the stress, the breath, and the voice of the reader. Once a word is out, it can take on many meanings. We must make it our own.
