<phew> It’s taken all day but I’ve managed to distract myself by putting a few thoughts together on the subject of reading short poetry. Probably talking through my hat, but if you care to read what I’ve done, with a few recorded samples, here is the link: https://frankprem.com/how-to-read-short-poetry/
Hope you enjoy.

A great post by Frank Prem on short poetry, together with some suggestions concerning how to read in front of an audience. I also am a fan of short poems, and many of my own encompass less than a page.

I enjoyed your article and, in particular those poems of your own you included. I have read a few times at the Poetry Cafae in London’s Covent Garden, where each poet has a maximum of 5 minutes in which to read their work. I can, therefore relate to what you say about time constraints. Kevin
