I HATE POETRY

I was speaking at an academic conference in Plymouth University. The conference  was called "Beyond Words:  Privileging the Unspoken Arts & Communities in a Posthuman World".  After an hours speech and Q and A an audience member asked me to read a poem.  A woman stood  up and  walked out.  As she passed  I asked  why she was going. She said   "I HATE POETRY".   The whole thing was very very funny and caught on film.[embed]https://youtu.be/L6sbuFKnlsA[/embed]
