Well, I suppose i'm about to find out. I'm just about to sit down with Sid Bose, a poet I met a few months ago doing a Reading for The Wolf magazine. Sid is trained as an actor and brings a lot of his talents to the performance of his own poetry. I think I'll ask him how he interprets others poetry and what lessons a non acting poet can bring to their text that an actor will gain insight from.
There's a big argument in the poets on fire forum along these lines and the conclusion there is that actors can't read poetry as the poet is unable to notate their poem to include accent and rythmn.
I wonder if there us anything poetry can learn from musical notation?
