I took the editing and publishing workshop with Stephanie and also attended her poetry reading.
It was interesting to see two different sides of her English passions. I was very surprised at the types of poems she wrote/read because they were very different from her business side. Her poems were very informal and deep, they really showed emotions and had a sense of humor in them. Compared to her philosophies on editing and publishing which were very much about effective communication, relationships and professionalism. It was nice though to see the different sides because it made me able to connect more to her and her poetry by seeing her as a real person outside of the business world.
I have never been to a poetry reading before and it was a very interesting experience. It puts the poems into perspective when you hear them read from the author's tone of voice rather than your own. When you read them yourself you imply your own personal meanings.
