More From Adrian Mitchell
- "Stadium rock and commercial rock are the opposite of what poetry needs. An audience of around 200 is ideal for poetry."
- "I use rock and jazz and blues rhythms because I love that music. I hope my poetry has a relationship with good-time rock’n roll."
- "Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative."

- "I despair of ever writing excellent poetry."― Isaac Rosenberg
- "Teach you children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary."― Walter Scott
