SYMMETRY, Poetry Reading and Interview by Michael Bornn

SYMMETRY, Poetry Reading by Michael Bornn

Poetry performed by actress VAL COLE

Matthew Toffolo interviews Michael Bornn:

Matthew: What is the theme of your poem?

Michael: the theme of this poem is facing the futility of finding closure.

Matthew: How would you like people to respond when they read or watch your poetry reading?

Michael: When someone has read a poem and feels the urge to say something to the writer about the piece, it is the greatest reward. it’s also the greatest lesson we can be given about our craft and how well we have done in our attempts to convey what we were feeling. What is said by a reader is pure honesty and always commands my attention and gratitude. no one would ever half heartedly take the trouble to express their indifference to a poem they have half read.

Matthew: How long have you been writing poetry?
