Taylor Mali performance

What do you receive hearing the poet speak?

Hearing the poet speak adds a completely different angle to the piece.  If I were to read the poem, versus hearing it, the meaning would be partially suffocated.  Hearing the poet, and his differing inflection and tones, touches the listener/observer/audience at a deeper level than if it were simply read.  Taylor Mali's performance creates a 3D approach to the poem.  It impacts the audience in many ways, and appeals to different learning styles, like auditory, and visual, making it more powerful  It gets his point across very effectively.
