鈥楾ake away the punters and you鈥檝e taken away the reason to write poetry鈥�
Poet John Cooper Clarke has told Colin Murray he didn鈥檛 write any poetry over lockdown because there was no audience to listen to it.
The poet known as the Bard of Salford said: 鈥淯ntil I get instant approval of it, I never know if a poem鈥檚 any good or not鈥�.
This clip is from John Cooper Clarke鈥檚 chat with Colin Murray on the Midnight Meets podcast.
