"He read and then offered up the stage to the audience to read their poems. Chris gave performance tips and advice.
His asides and introductions to the poems were funny and dry...strange and quite wonderful. Chris offered good, sensitive advice and I was impressed with Chris’ handling of all the readers." Hilary Sheehan, Festival Chronicle.
