Oral Poetry - Links

Here you’ll find a series of links to a diverse range of audio poetry performances. Some feature performers reading other people’s poems, most feature the poet reading their own work. Some are ‘readings’ in the sense that they perform poems that exist elsewhere as text editions, but others feature works that are standalone performance/audio pieces. You might want to visit these pages after reading the ’think pieces’ on Oral Poetry, The Poetry Reading, Performance - Spoken Word - Poetry and Public Poetry that you can find under the ‘Material Contexts’ tab.
