What your ipod needs … May 7, 2009

Tomorrow, I will be making a recording for the Poetry Archive – www.poetryarchive.org . Most of ‘Hannah & the Monk’ and a handful of new ones. When the recording’s been produced & polished up, it’ll go on the website, and be sold as CD. I’ve got lots of Poetry Archive CDs, and have put ‘em on my ipod. Simon Armitage surprising your earhole in the middle of a mainly indie-rock shuffle can be a bit disconcerting, but the Archive is a marvellous enterprise, and I’m chuffed to be recording for it.

I’m on Twitter. Not much poetry thinking so far – today’s tweets have been about builders’ breakfast crisps, moth killer and helicopters – but it’s quite a fun place to be. juliamarybird if you want to follow me.
