Have you ever been to a poetry reading?
If you haven't gone to one, do you want to?

Same here, I also do a lot of poetry reading in my college, since I'm in Language and Literature Faculty. My favourite so far would be Emily Dickinson. Her poems about love are very romantic, so are her cynical words in some other poems about feminism and broken heart.Niphredil wrote:Iv been to a few poetry readings at college, by....god names are hard, erm...bernard maclaverty (sp?) though thats more short stories, cliff yates, toby litt though again that was a novel. But my favourite by far was in Lancaster's Duke Theatre and was by Wendy Cope, who is one of my very favourite poets . That was amazing, and was basically her reading out some of her poems (from books that you could, conveniently, buy in the intermission) and then later a question and answer session, followed by a book signing for all those books you bought at the intermission!
