My small village in Dorset, England (Hardy country - 2nd favourite poet after Kipling) has a thriving poetry reading society that has been going for something like 12 years. All manner of types of poems, and styles of reading, and the only one of your tips I wholeheartedly endorse is No. 5: Be natural, have fun. If you do that, you have poetry reading cracked! (I have been reading Jabberwocky for 65 years - that is FUN!)

Yeats himself did not read his poetry in the cadence you used: From a BBC article about Yeats in 2015: "The Irish poet made a series of radio broadcasts for the BBC in the 1930s. He seemed to know even then that his reading manner was going out of style. “I am going to read my poems with great emphasis upon their rhythm, and that may seem strange if you are not used to it,” warned Yeats when introducing the Lake Isle of Innisfree in a 1931 recording. “I remember the great English poet, William Morris, coming in a rage out of some lecture hall where somebody had recited a passage out of his Sigurd the Volsung. ‘It gave me a devil of a lot of trouble,’ said Morris, ‘to get that thing into verse.’ It gave me the devil of a lot of trouble to get into verse the poems that I am going to read, and that is why I will not read them as if they were prose.”

Alas, Yeats is dead and so we are free to interpret his poems as we wish! I personally cannot stand a reading that pushes hard on getting to an end rhyme.

One rule above all: Do not try to imitate current spoken word performers or their mannerisms. The way they murder any kind of nuance present in texts and throw up emotions all over the audience is not only exhausting to listen to, but also plain disrespectful. Walking someone through the story you want to tell and allowing the emotions come to your audience naturally is much more powerful than excessive screaming of your lines can ever be.

How did your competition go? To keep interest, be sure you score your poem really well and think about the phrasing -- which group of words go together, where should my pauses be, etc. If YOU believe in what you are saying, you will relay that to the audience.

What if a poem is long do I need to recite the complete stanza
@NoWaterRiver
@NoWaterRiver 2 жыл бұрын
In my opinion, it is certainly better to recite an entire poem rather than a partial poem, but this of course will depend on why and for whom you are reciting it. If it's in a classroom setting, for example, perhaps you could choose a few representative stanzas. If it's a competition, you may want to choose a shorter piece that you can do in its entirety.
