Very sophisticated. The "break" was a little long but it was a great evening for the poets in the house.Written on Aug 17 2011

Poetry a bit heavy, right from the get go. It would have been easier to listen to had there been some combination of lightness with darkness.Written on Aug 17 2011
Please no singing!
And I wish there had been more taiko. That's primarily why I attended.

disappointed with this...would have liked more information about who Yuri was and some samples of her book. Found her showing a video of reading her poems redundant because several poems she had already read on the stage. Music group was fantastic! Also...waitresses at Yoshi's were oblivious to the poetry on the stage and it was very annoining to hear her voice while the poet was reading. Also there was no information about Yuri, her book or anything on the tables...would have helped to have some background about her available.Written on Aug 16 2011

The drums were great and so were all the musicians. Poet need a little help in her presentation. Her voice, timing and keeping up a performance can be better. I personally did not need to hear how many times sex is mention even in light of honesty. It is a matter of getting to the point and move-on. Sometimes less is more.Written on Aug 16 2011
