Bloodaxe Poets on Video-A taster trailer for IN PERSON: 30 POETS

sirpaulmcdarkney
This trailer features 5 poems by 5 of the poets: Benjamin Zephaniah, Imtiaz Dharker, Brendan Kennelly, Jackie Kay and C.K. Williams. There are 30 poets in the DVD-book (plus Ken Smith bonus track). All the poems read are in the anthology. The filmed readings last a total of 6 hours, and can be played on 2 DVDs pouched inside the back cover.

Some of the most amazing poetry I have ever read has come from British publisher Bloodaxe. Internationally known for their edgy choices in poets, and daring anthologies, Bloodaxe takes chances on huge international talent. Any budding poet enthusiast would benefit greatly from reading Staying Alive: Real Poems For Unreal Times as would the average reader. I highly recommend seeking them out and making at least one purchase; especially if you're a fledgling poet like me.
