losing poetry

[Leanne]

You can also try making podcasts or using a site like Soundcloud to share spoken word with others if there are limited performance opportunities -- and look up other people's recorded poetry on those sites as well, some of it is very painful (just like the written stuff!) but there's a lot worth listening to. You're really very lucky, the UK is absolutely the place to be for quality poetry these days (probably always has been actually).

My favourite contemporary poet is Matthew Caley, I'd definitely recommend looking him up.
