I enjoy the poetry school format.

Then I saw the audio link you included for four of his poems, and I was thrilled. I urge everyone to listen. His reading voice is fantastic, as are the poems. I’m glad “Vanishing Point” is one of the poems we can hear. “Ahem” is also awesome.

Even if I hadn’t read the background for Martin Figura’s work, “In my Parents’ Bedroom” would have shaken me to the bone. It is so powerful. Excellent poet!
