Holly Prado
Holly Prado shows up for a poetry reading and turns it into an Event. she is a Presence, an embodiment of Poetry, at least a representative of the Muse. if Holly Prado reads, she invites us to hear her as Just Another Person who happens to write poetry, but it is impossible. she removes all the muddle from English. she lets us feel what it is to be Holly Prado and wake up in the morning, or to lose a friend to death, or to smell a breeze in spring. I do not mean she writes anything confessional, but personal and intimate, yes, like Emily Dickinson might if she were alive in 2016, or like Stephen Hawking might if he wrote poetry.
