Last week, books site regular DanHolloway said:

I'd love to see more poetry [on the site], and especially from outside the confines of the recognised poetry presses – dare I say it even more (any?) performance poetry. The talking head poetrycast series was great but a real missed opportunity to include at least one performance poet (with a straight to-camera there really is no place to hide and some of those readings really did demonstrate that some poetry works best on the page – when there's so much that works so well when spoken it's a shame we see none of it here)

Your wish is our command – well, on this occasion anyway.

We thought it was a great idea, thanks Dan. Here's an open thread where everyone is welcome to post reviews, recommendations and links to, great examples and performances of poetry. If you're out at a show and can't wait to share your review or thoughts, you can always tweet us @GuardianBooks with the hashtag #LiveReview.

This is a trial so we'll have to see what happens. We'll keep the thread open for a week and see how it goes. If it's a hit it'll be the first of many and if it falls flat on its face we'll have to think again.

As always, all suggestions, improvements and requests are gratefully received in the below thread.
