In my defence of being a University student, I'm learning things about my chosen subject (English and Theatre) that I COULD possibly learn by just reading around the subject, but it's the reasouces available and the meeting of new people to discuss ideas that really makes these 3 years worthwhile, being involved in plays, societies, learning from professors etc. Naturally the whole exammination process is a poor way of testing people no doubt.
As for punk poetry...I recently discovered Shelly's 'Mask of Anarchy' which is very long but very uplifting
"Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many - they are few.
'What is Freedom? - ye can tell
That which slavery is, too well -
For its very name has grown
To an echo of your own."
I love John Cooper Clarke.
Please, please please check out my myspace page with some of my performance poetry. There's some on the player but there's some live performances uploaded down the page. I'm working on a live performance, bit of comedy, bit of poetry all energetic and at speed with a punky ethos. My mate recorded some properly but he's taking a-g-e-s to mix them or whatever.
