Good Evening Everyone, I am currently studying an MA in creative writing, but am also a practicing Spoken Word artist. And am currently looking to explore what constitutes and quantifies quality in Spoken Word and Live Literature. Which kicks off with a debate on BBC Radio 3's the Verb (in which I am also performing one of my pieces 33 minutes in). Here is the link... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b015nhzq/The_Verb_Verb_New_Voices_Philip_Langeskov_Professor_Karmadillo_Evaluating_Spoken_Word_Poetry/ It would be great to know what you make of the debate and also of my poem. Warmest Regards, Deborah Stevenson
