I agree with you that it's important to hear poets read their own poems. When my wife reads my work it's sometimes as though someone else had written it. I saw an interesting You Tube video recently involving Fiona Sampson, Simon Armitage, Anne Stevenson and Stephen Regan. The one thing they all agreed on is that far too much poetry is currently being written which inevitably shifts a bit of the limelight away from themselves.<br /><br />Best wishes from Simon R.
