The poetry reading with Michael Dickman was the first poetry reading I ever attended, and it was really interesting to hear his whole background and how his life influenced his poetry. Just reading his poems alone left me pretty confused, but once I heard about his background and inspirations for each specific poem, I became engaged and interested. In particular, I enjoyed the quirky, little poems that represented a certain state. He also never explained definitively what each poem meant, which effectively allowed for multiple interpretations of the same poem.
