We don't always have to read. I have put together a small list of poetry which I have listened to, when I am not writing. I have found it useful to listen to famous poet from the past as well as contemporary poets. Modern poetry doesn't inspire me as much, however it's interesting to know what fellow poets are producing.
At the risk of listing to many I have keep the list to a select few including poetry award winners.
