A tangential question:
How many do you have in your audience at what you would call a good sized
reading?
Here in St. Louis a poet with national or international standing might draw
anywhere from several dozen to several hundreds--these are your celebs like
Maya Angelou.
A local poet might call 20-25 a good audience, or a poet from out of town
with a couple of books under his or her belt.
I remember going to a Howard Nemerov reading in the 80's when he was Poet
Laureate of the U.S. Five people.
