What is Poetry? By Lawrence Ferlinghetti

What is Poetry? By Lawrence Ferlinghetti

I have been so busy with so many things the past few weeks and have failed to mention or celebrate that it is National Poetry Month! eek!

Please enjoy this Ferlinghetti poem I recorded 3 years ago with my colleague for our annual poetry slam. Her husband is playing the bongos! 😀

    Wonderfully eclectic performance! The poem is wonderful, deep and also fun. My favourite line is ‘poetry is the light at the end of the tunnel and the darkness within it’.
