I'm posting these as Renee has mentioned them in her previous post and they are certainly worth having a listen to for the sake of comparison.
These are very much poets 'reading' their poems, generally 'page poems' not performance poetry. The subject is an extension of one which I began in my other blog, Inbetwixt.
Questions worth considering:
- What separates a 'page poem' from a 'performance poem'?
- Does/should/can a poet write poems strictly for the purpose of performance?
- What poems ought to be read/performed?
- Is this question essentially the same as, 'which poems should be published' or is the criteria between performing and publishing something entirely different?
