Performing poet

[Heather]

I was listening to the ABC radio (Melbourne 774 John Fain programme) this morning and they had on an English "performing poet". Basically it was rhyming metred poetry but of course his was the English experience. He had some interesting things to say. The response of the two comperes was interesting. You'd probably be able to pick it up by podcast or something if you are interested. His name is Luke Wright and he is here for the Melbourne Festival.

Is he a copse poet perhaps, Heather? Or a meadow poet? Or a forest poet, even?

[Heather]

Of course Stephen.
