I would listen eagerly to Linda Gregerson reading the ingredient labels on soup cans…

Read her poem “Slip,” then listen to her voice. You won’t regret it.

Yes, yes, a good reader. Balances well the expression without over-acting it (which would suit some poems, but not this one I think.) I listened to another one she reads there too, which confirms that.
Not her fault, but this recording sounds close-mic’ed and the recordist might have helped things by placing the mic above her nose and mouth–not that I haven’t inflicted worse on the public. And having to record any poem that repeats the word “slip,” one of those words that sizzles or pops so easily, is a challenge!
Thanks for pointing her out.
