More prosaically, this isn't a blog in a strict sense at all. It is a constantly being rewritten advertisement or newletter for an accompanying website that specializes in teaching about poetry & recital; among other thing.

It uses recordings as a basis for understanding poetry, for seeing it as script for public performance; recital.

It specializes in traditional verse, studies its forms, in the hope of understanding the roots of poetry, and the general uses of form, rhyme & rhythm; phonetics & prosody.

From this traditionalist perspective, and through repeated listening and recurrent exposure to a canon of traditional English verse, it is hoped that the student/re-visitor acquires some understanding of traditional poetic practices, develops an interest in recital, and uses this knowledge in his or hers own writings.
