My face appeared in The Independent yesterday. I was teaching journalist Holly Williams how to be a performance poet. It was a lot of fun. Our photographer got held up because she’d just been shooting N-Dubz, and they insisted at looking at every photograph she took: “Let me see that one! That’s the shot! That’s the shot! OK, let me see that one, too!”
Note to self: be more like N-Dubz.
I think it would be good to expand this interview into a full-length blog-post, or the do’s and don’t of performance poetry. At the very least, it would be useful for me, as I often forget my own rules and relearn the hard way. I’ll try to get something down later this week. X
