      The Reading at ND was pretty interesting. The two poets were so incredibly different, not only in writing style, but also in "performance." Dan Machlin read first. He took on a much more serious, down-to-business approach, as his work is. Unlike Peter Davis, whose poems ranged on topic of Hitler, mustaches, teenage Hitler mustaches (I have no idea!), Beverly Hill 90210, Emily Dickinson (but not at all Emily Dickinson). At one point I expected someone to jump up and say "you're on Candid Camera!" because it really wasn't sounding like "poetry." (Was he playing a practical joke on us?) Nevertheless it was entertainment. Collapse
