I don't take the words in if I read aloud and therefore I have trouble intonating properly.

I get the irritation, but what I think that article misses is that "poet voice" is not just an affectation, but much more deeply ingrained: it has become the voice poets hear inside their heads as they write their poems. Even the Muse clears her throat these days.

I write poetry. I refuse to use the 'poet voice' when I read my poems aloud and I damn well don't hear it in my head as I write them. I've long thought the 'poet voice' was an abomination. It is perpetuated by poets who don't write in a voice so much as a style or a manner.

This is one crude generalization I don't mind being chided about, Aimless, my apologies for the broad brush.
