John Armstrong has issued a manifesto for Slow Poetry [read: Dense Verse]. Along these lines, readers might enjoy the poetry of Ted Richer, a poet living in Scituate.

Below, a video of Richer reading several short poems (he starts at 38:11), the first of which was finished on the morning of the reading.
