Taking your poems from page to stage

By Kay B. Day
Published: June 12, 2007
When you're facing an audience, the last thing you want to do is think about what you're doing. By the time you're on the stage, you should be able to relax and have fun sharing your poems. One of the best allies you can have is a good plan. If you do even a small amount of homework before your reading, you won't have to think about what you're doing because you can simply segue into the fun part. Knowing what you'll read ahead of time will save your own patience--and your listeners' as well.
