Poetry For Your Ears

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

PoetCasting is a project developed by Alex Pryce and funded by the National Endowments for Science, Technology and the Arts ( NESTA ) under the Ignite! Creative Sparks Youth Fellowship scheme.

The aim of PoetCasting is to work with poets throughout the UK to podcast their work, bringing audio poetry to the masses. Performance poets, published poets, new poets, established poets and everything in between.
