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.

London-William Blake
'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/
and join the William Blake Society here:
Many thanks to John and to the mystery American/Italian poet outside Blake's house.
