Tardos Mors, have listened without anger," she soliloquized in conclusion.

Having been present at many Mac Low events (often performed with his wife, the poet and artist Anne
Tardos), I find myself generalizing my response into the conviction that most poetry comes alive in extraordinary ways when well performed.
