There's enough evidence of P being a superb reader of others' poetry (in addition to your own comments, I can add the testimony of those who've heard him read wyatt and elizabethan potes) to win that debate. As one whose read my own poetry AND (on separate occasions) that of other people, I can at least theoretically see how it might get too difficult for me to continue to read my own, yet I might continue with my "readings" of others. Any musician knows that to perform is to TAKE choices on a time line, i.e. to cut out other (potential) readings. That's bloody difficult for me, and I guess could be for anyone else. Is that an answer? What was the question? R %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
