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.

The Mower-Philip Larkin 🦔
'The mower stalled, twice...'
I've been asked to mow the lawn this weekend.
Here's a throwback to late spring 2024, when I recorded my first sketch for the Philip Larkin Society. If you are a lover of Larkin, please check out their excellent podcast entitled 'Tiny in all That Air' here.
