Reading Poetry in Workshops

One of the things I really like about Professor McCoy's poetry class is how each poem is initially read twice, once by the author and once by a reader. In other creative writing classes, sure, I have read my work out loud. This is common. But I really like having a second person read my work out loud, which I've never really experienced in a workshop. It's interesting to hear how someone else reads my work in regards to tone, line breaks, and punctuation. This can change how I view my own poem, and, I think, make it better for revision. I think this would be beneficial in other workshops as well.
