Emilia Clarke is launching a series of celebrity poetry readings on Instagram
Like many people, Emilia Clarke is currently stuck at home in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic — and she's clearly been thinking hard about things she can work on while social distancing.
Well, it appears she's taken a leaf out of Sir Patrick Stewart's book, because she's gone down the poetry route.
"Hi everyone," says the former Game of Thrones star in a video shared to Instagram on Wednesday. "So this is just a little introductory post to something that I've been putting together over this time that we've been experiencing, of COVID and isolation."

Clarke's plan, as she goes on to explain, is to run a series of Instagram readings from a collection called The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried-and-True Prescriptions for the Heart, Mind and Soul. It's not specified who exactly will be reading, but Clarke's comment about "talented performers" suggests that some of her acting friends will likely be popping up.
Clarke kicks things off with a poem about loneliness, which she dedicates to brain injury survivors and the charity Same You (Clarke has suffered two aneurysms in the past, which she underwent surgery for while filming Game of Thrones).
You can watch her performance below.
"So that's it, that's my addition, and everyone else to follow will be someone much more talented than me, and with a lot more purpose," finishes Clarke. "Stay safe everyone."
We'll be keeping an eye on Clarke's Instagram feed for more readings to come.
