Do check out my new Substack article, The Art of Reading and Performing Poetry. Based on my background training as a stage and TV actor, I explain and describe how those skills apply when doing poetry readings.

From my article on Criticism and Poetry:
'Self belief is crucial to all artists, whose intention is to bring forth something that is original yet communicates as widely as possible. For most of us self-belief is a wobbly beast.'

#PoetsOnBluesky #PoetryCommunity suggest we share something of our poetry. Here's one that was published in the fabulous Lighthouse Journal, a while back, It seems very relevant to our current prospects.
