βTake away the punters and youβve taken away the reason to write poetryβ
Poet John Cooper Clarke has told Colin Murray he didnβt write any poetry over lockdown because there was no audience to listen to it.
The poet known as the Bard of Salford said: βUntil I get instant approval of it, I never know if a poemβs any good or notβ.
This clip is from John Cooper Clarkeβs chat with Colin Murray on the Midnight Meets podcast.
