(4) 4-6 Focusing on performance rather than on creation, this text offers solid pointers on bringing motion and emotion to poetry readings and describes how to hold a poetry contest. Holbrook works too hard at conveying her energy and enthusiasm, and while her own poems are offered as subjects for oral interpretation, readers will want to apply her performance techniques to other, less banal verse.
