The dreadful orthodoxy. (Literature).(poets and poetry reading)
THERE HAS BEEN a significant push in the recent past of Australian literary history to hear poetry performed in front of an audience. This push could be related to the popularity of poetry readings by the "Beat Poets" during the 1960s, or it could be the continuing resonance of William Shakespeare's poesy performed through his characters acting in the Globe Theatre in London. Dylan Thomas, Robbie Bums and Henry Lawson were not averse to reciting a poem in a bar, and it has long been a tradition to perform or recite poems around campfires where the mood and light allow human spirits to enter the ethereal and ephemeral worlds of deep song.
