It’s been my great honor to have so many fine young students read my poem “Domestic Situation,” from my first book, Sixty Sonnets, for the Poetry Out Loud national recitation contest, created by the National Endowment for the Arts. Here are a few of this year’s finalists and their fiery and always impressive performances of my poem.
