I so prefer the poem just by itself.Does that make me a purist?I hear Hedges (et al) trying to stick the poor thing to their music, and I find myself thinking "couldn't we just hear the poem spoken, in a cadence like speech?"Still, I was glad to see the vids you posted.Later, I'll post my own favorites from Cummings.
