A poetry channel, poems sounded, on the air; poetry in performance.
I'm Math Jones, getting older now, but with a wealth of poetry and performance poetry to share, and maybe a bit of wisdom too.
Many single poems read, many medleys. During Lockdown, I made a bunch of streamed performances. These are often between 15 and 45 minutes.
I will also read and record your own poem, if you'd like that. Subscribe, and send me a verse or two - I'll put it up here on a playlist.
Most videos have automatic captions, but I'm going through those, correcting and revising.
