hardly conducive to mutual support if it's the only time poets meet. Then there are those waiting their turn--perhaps politely, perhaps not--to perform at Poetry Live on Tuesdays at the Thirsty Dog for an audience who are patiently (or not) waiting for their own turn at the mic.
It would be great to see more overlap between the two worlds (which are splintered in themselves)--both page and performance poets can learn from each other. Former poet laureate Michele Leggott bridges the gap, as does accomplished young Auckland poet Courtney Meredith.
