Those Aesop tracks are great, Cameron!
Sarah-Jane. As far as listening to music (especially music with lyrics) at the same time as reading poetry… No! Ha. It would be like trying to watch two films at once. I might have something soft and tinkly in the background, maybe.
Weirdly though, I do sometimes like obscenely loud, repetitive, barely controlled rock music when I'm trying to write a poem. Stooges, Dinosaur Jr or Can or The Fall or something. That's different somehow and seems to block out any external thoughts and allow me get me into a kind of focused hypnosis.
