Sitting in the student center auditorium I kept wondering what this whole bathhouse thing was going to be like. At first I thought that it was just going to be Gail Scott reading her own poetry but in a poem sort of form. But thats not how it was at all. Her first reading was by far my favorite. The vivid descriptions of the people in this cafe she spoke of were so unique yet so bland, I could almost picture the cafe in an entire form. She spoke about the cafe as if it were not a cafe at alll but almost as if she made it up on her own. I liked most how she compared things that were alike but not alike at all. Such as comparing ordering to sex. I did not really like the way she read exactly, I felt like she wasn't really into the reading at all, I felt like it was more of a forced reading. But all in all I really liked the descriptions and the way she put everything in context. It was really easy for me to picture exactly what she was talking about.
