Would you like to record yourself reading one of the poems here, for other people to listen to on this site? If so, please follow these fairly simple instructions:

  • Choose a poem you would like to read, preferably one that hasn't already been recorded.
  • Use your smartphone's voice-memo function to record yourself.
  • Say the title of the poem, then read the poem, clearly.
  • If you would like to say, "read by..." after the title, please do.
  • Provided it's clear, how you read the poem is up to you. Don't worry if there's a bit of background noise, as long as it generally sounds OK to you.
  • When you're happy with what you've recorded, please email your m4a file to lindsay@lindsaycamp.com
