I've been thinking a lot about how to get poetry out there. It's pretty difficult, I have to say. Maybe I'm biased, but I think poetry deserves to have a more prominent place in mainstream society. I'm not saying everyone should buy poetry, of course, but I think it deserves a bit more of an audience.
Partly with that in mind, I decided to take a few shots on the phone when I went swimming in Salthill recently. Windows Movie Maker is handy for putting together simple films. So that's what I did this evening. Maybe the black-and-white makes it seem pretentious. I'm not sure. I'd be interested in hearing what people think of the results (both positive and negative comments are welcome). And if anyone has any thoughts on how to get poetry out there in different and original ways, feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks a million.
