Reading “Poetry” (1975) aloud was easier than the others, because it was the easiest poem for me to understand. The voice I used for this poem was a lady with a happy, confident English accent. I did this as a monologue since it is speaking as one person. I should say I attempted to use this voice, but my southern draw hindered that a little.
Reading “Sonner in Primary Colors” (1952) aloud was more difficult for me due to the poem being a little harder for me to dissect. After many attempts, I used an African accent while speaking to Frida’s children as if Frida and her husband passed away together. I acted as if they had children and was telling the story of how Frida and their father first met.
