I am happy to report that my friend Mary Anne has taken up the challenge of attempting to read poetry to things and animals that just don't care. She has documented her experiences and has sent in three photos that show quite clearly the harrowing, heartbreaking experience that is reading poetry to things and animals that just don't care.
