It would  have been more special if they'd found someone who can actually
read a poem  - most poets can't read even their own work effectively.
Her  one-word-at-a-time delivery was just excruciating, and succeeded in
turning  whatever the poem was into prose.  Just awful - you have to hope
that  she doesn't realize how embarassing it was.



Having had to address large crowds (not THAT large!) on a PA system, I know  
that one must enunciate and not speak too rapidly.  Although she sounded  
tedious, she might have been following instructions. I prefer to give her the  
benefit of the doubt.
