Sketch Poetry
Poetry read in a fitting setting, by teacher and poet of no great renown: Joe Riley.
Great poems from a range of eras read aloud in a place that befits them. No lectures, not too many long words or academic pretence; a chance to sketch out how a poem reaches your heart.

Sketch Poetry
London-William Blake
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
'I wander thro' each chartered street, near where the chartered Thames does flow
And mark in every face I meet, marks of weakness, marks of woe...'
Joe heads to the Big Smoke and speaks with John Riordan from the William Blake Society. You can find his work here: https://www.johnriordan.co.uk/

Many thanks to John and to the mystery American/Italian poet outside Blake's house.
