A lot of people read poetry on the tubes. A lot of people create beautiful, blank slates of nothing but the words simply and cleanly delivered.
I'm not so hot at that.
My readings are emotional. I'll emphasise words far more than the text suggests, I'll make mistakes, I'll stumble. But I'll mean it.
I read this way because whilst it's not necessarily getting across what the poet was thinking, it gets across what the poet wanted us to feel.
About Me:
 
I'm Nobody, who are you?

I'm an English Literature student living in London brought up in Oxford, hence the accent. I specialize in Renaissance I get, but horizons are there to be broadened.

Drop me a request.
Country:
United Kingdom

Thanks for subbing back :). It is nice to find someone with the same love of poetry as I have. I sub to you because of your recitation of Percy Bysshe Shelley's 'To a Sky Lark'. I have a soft spot for Shelley and his radical poetry, in the future I am going to read Shelley's epic poem 'The Mask of Anarchy'.

All the best

Thanks for the kind comment on my profile. I'm Jamaican, raised in a Jewish section of New York. I guess that's how I came by my reading voice. Have a wonderful weekend. And thanks for your poetry readings. -C
