Before I even realized what happened, I was getting invited to read at all kinds of places and in all kinds of situations.

Suddenly, I realized how my life had filled with so many wonderful people and memorable experiences that I never would have encountered if not for my opportunities to read poetry in front of these people.

It definitely didn’t lead to much by way of finance or notoriety, but it’s enhancement of my life has been immeasurable.
