The event on Thursday was pretty interesting to say the least. Each poet who recited their work had a different style and way of delivering their poems. My favorite from all of the artists at the event was the second one, Jamal. He recited his work with such a fast pace that it almost seemed like he was freestyle rapping. I enjoyed this aspect of when he read and it made me pay attention even more closer. I loved how his poems touched on the subject of war and those effected by it because it was completely uncensored and felt like it was an "in your face" type of poem.

 I'm not sure what I was expecting for the Joseph O' Connor event, because I had never been to a reading before and I was curious to see if I would like it or not. Well I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and it was a great experience for me. Joseph O' Connor has the ability to captivate and intrigue you when he is reading, he just makes you want to listen.
