Dan Burt Reading From his Poems  (thepoetryarchive.org  £12.95,  48mins)

Dan Burt's craftsmanship is complex - villanelles, tercets - and his cross-referencing wide-ranging, from Jewish history to Cranach and Mozart.  It's also combined with disarming simplicity and a striking exploration of metaphor - the "debt bond" in a relationship where "cloing the books is hard to do".
