This sounds really interesting on BBC Radio 4, Wednesday nights 23:00. Some recorded at the Latitude festival in Suffolk. Includes Aoife Mannix, a Dublin poet living in London, Cat Francois, Byron Vincent.
Deconstructive Wasteland has some good articles on poetry at Latitude.
I'm a little daunted by performance poetry though I will be performing myself soon, so I have to get over it. Come and see me at Electric Picnic. And be kind. I need to do some memorising too, I think.
Are they always humourous? Often rhyme too, probably easier to memorise.

Oooh, what a great gig to get. I'll be at the Picnic so I will come and see you. Is it the Spoken Word Tent? Do you have a scheduled time?
Best of luck at Electric Picnic - would love to go but I think it has been sold out this past while or so the sites says anyway...wonder if one could loiter
and hope to slip in! ; )
Thanks for dropping by. I'm a roving poet at Electric Picnic - The Poetry Divas, no stage, no time, just as the mood takes us. More details when we've worked it out. Meanwhile, any tips?
Liz- And you may find they release more tickets just beforehand to dissuade touts so keep your eyes open.
It'll be a great gig. Next stop Glastonbury!
