UPDATE: Luke Roberts and Stephen Willey will be reading separate works and collaborative material. Unfortunately Keston Sutherland has had to pull out of the Openned reading tomorrow due to illness. However, he will be reading at a future night. We are trying to organise another reader for the night. News of who that is will be posted on the website in due course.
I'm not sure what to call them - blog poems is totally wrong, serial poems is used often but seems inaccurate. Recurring poetry is the least imposing term I can think of. Basically it's sequences of poems being posted on blogs. I can think of a few that I'm enjoying right now:
There are other examples as well. I'm not proposing this as a new category of poetry or anything like that, it's just gratifying to see such a high quality of work so readily published and so easily accessed. One thing that does perturb me is that because these poems are interspersed among other blog posts on the poets' websites, they don't seem to be getting the attention they deserve, when they're easily better than half the stuff I've read in print recently. Don't let the casualness of the posting fool you, this is good stuff.

Came across this recording of Basil Bunting reading from Brigflatts. 83min long but only a 15MB download. Worthy. Musical accompaniment is an acquired taste.
