Sketch Poetry
Poetry read in a fitting setting, by teacher and poet of no great renown: Joe Riley.
Great poems from a range of eras read aloud in a place that befits them. No lectures, not too many long words or academic pretence; a chance to sketch out how a poem reaches your heart.

Sketch Poetry
Church Going-Philip Larkin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
'Once I am sure there’s nothing going on
I step inside, letting the door thud shut.'
Join Joe as he alights his bike at St. Nicholas' church in Newnham, Hampshire.
Will he find God, or will God find him?
