Unpopular opinion: I enjoyed hearing Andrew Scott perform Mahon& #39;s poem. It& #39;s such a poetry scene thing to see someone enjoy inhabiting a poem & criticize them for doing it wrong https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging">

I like straight readings of poems, I like performed readings of poems, I like oblique readings of poems, I like queer readings of poems, I like understated readings of poems, I like camped up readings of poems

The gatekeeping around who is allowed to enjoy poetry and how is pretty gross too.

I should clarify: not saying you have to like the Scott reading https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">We all have our own personal taste. My tweets were more a reaction to the gatekeeping attitude I& #39;ve been seeing for a few days now.
