Joseph read some fun and funny poems, some sad poems, a few sexually suggestive poems, and a poem full of references to Bob Marley. Her poems focused on rocking a fro, meeting her husband, and chronicling events related to her father's death and funeral.
I first saw Joseph read nearly 10 years ago while I was a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University. For some reason, I can't recall her doing as much with her voice modulations, pace changes, and tone shifts as she did last night. But you know, it's possible that she's always been this good, and I've just become a better listener over the years.
Whatever the case, she rocked it.
