unbound
a poet speaks
you listen
and another
and another
as you listen
personal voices
voices for others
you hear a line in your head
realize it’s your own
inspired
by the lines you’ve just heard
and then it’s gone
because you listen
but you still take something home
I attended the 4th Annual Unbound Book Festival at Stephen’s College in Columbia, Missouri, today. There were writing panels, author conversations and readings by both novelists and poets held at various venues around campus. I attended readings by the following poets: Randall Horton, Aaron Coleman, Kayleb Rae Candrilli, Kevin Coval, Sarah Gambito and Monica Ferrell.
I’ve written about the previous two festivals here and here.

It sounds like a good event. I’ve had that experience–where I’ve tried to hold some line in my head, but it gets overwritten. Still, it or maybe something better may emerge in time. 🙂
