A place to share and discuss any examples of audio poetry you find particularly amazing.

I'm busy building myself into a new direction (for me) of video poetry, think still images with a reading and intended background direction. Anyhow this is my first. I'd love the opinions of those who do voice poetry, I'd love to know if this crap or stands a chance. Also I started a youtube channel for this purpose, but have no idea how to find others who do the same, so I'd appreciate if you posted a channel link so I can follow you and build a li'l DU community of youtube poets.

Also what category do you use on Youtube for poetry? I used blogs & entertainment as I couldn't find anything similar to poetry?

Thanks for the insights and comments peepol!
