Kenneth Koch did a fascinating job delivering the poem “One Train May Hide Another”. The entitled poem signifies that we should not rush through life. We should slow down and see what we are missing because there are a lot of beautiful things out there in the world to discover. The tone of the poem, perhaps the tone that Kenneth Koch uses while he conceives this poem aloud is reposing. He read without any hastiness, and it went along well with them poem. Kenneth Koch read the poem in such a manner that you can apprehend and truly admire every single line of the poem. New York School poets seemed to bring much more to poetry then just words. They brought the adventure of the big city itself into each poem they wrote, and we all know how much life New York City has. They were very intelligent in what they did and Kenneth Koch’s reading of “One Train May Hide Another” was a reflection of how creative and passionate the NYS poets really were.
