The Lehi poem was a surprising choice for Laura, I think, and that curious juxtaposition of her voice and that poem was striking and exciting. This poem is more clearly suited for Laura’s voice, but I don’t know if I like it more, for that. It has some more amazing moments but, overall, I think I like her Lehi better. I don’t know.
