I thought it would be interesting to upload a recording of me reading “What It’s Like,” since I spent so much time talking about in the review I wrote. Maybe you can even hear in my reading that regular rhythm, that structure that I feel underlies most of the poems here. Maybe “Monsieur,” the book’s longer poem, is the single poem that evades that structure.
However, it’s also that structure that allows the reader immediate access to Stone’s more imaginative images.
