Certainly, the experience of HEARING a poet read his or her work opens up that poet's entire portfolio to a larger and more enthusiastic audience. It is a way of giving people back their ears! It is also a way - perhaps the best and most obvious way - of returning poetry to the entire tribe, and not simply a small and elite section of it.
