On March 18th 2020, I asked for requests on Twitter: if anyone wanted me to read a poem they liked, I'd record it for them.  

650-odd suggestions later, here we are. Several new recordings go up every day. Some lovely people are helping, and poets have been very kind and generous too. 

Hope you enjoy them. Sam x
