CK Studio Poetry Diary

I often start my studio day by reading poetry aloud to prepare for the work ahead. This is an occasional series of videos in which I read and reflect on some of my favourite writing. Do drop me a line at chris@ckuk.com if you have a favourite poem you’d like me to read in a future edition.
