Poet Michael O’Dea has suggested, as a means of increasing poetry readership

…that Poetry Ireland, (since it will take such a central organisation), organise a Poets Corner in Dublin (maybe the first of many throughout the country) where everyone/anyone can stop for 15 minutes to listen and buy poetry. I would suggest that a meeting of interested parties be set up to discuss the initiative and organise as big a kick-start as can be mustered.

It’s an idea that deserves an airing, at least.

Even if you’re not interested in such matters, do have a look at Michael’s blog Poetry and Miscellaneous Yap, and check out the Bosch animation video.

I’m a big Bosch fan, and his Garden of Earthly Delights featured in my most recent novel, The Fisher Child. Anyway, Michael recommends this and other Bosch videos on the web, as well as the music featured in this one, by Jean-Philippe Goude
