Recorded live at the sunny Latitude Festival Ian McMillan has gathered three top poets for The Adverb - The Verb's showcase of the best live poetry and readings.
Dr John Cooper Clarke is a legend of the punk poetry scene and gets us into gear with a poem about the thrilling allure of the hire car. The best art can come out of limitations and Luke Wright shows his amazing lyrical dexterity with a poem entirely based on the assonance of the letter A.
And TS Eliot prize winner Joelle Taylor spellbinds the crowd with an autobiographical poem about growing up as a butch lesbian, touching on her early life in Accrington.
Along the way, the Barnsley Bard Ian McMillan offers us some of his own work, including a no-holds-barred anaylysis of the perils of drinks machines.
