POETRY ON RECORD More precisely this is a four CD set of Poets reading their own poetry. It is highly recommended by everyone here who has had chance to hear it. Some of the major poets and poems from the the point recording became available in the mid 19th Century right up to the start of the 21st Century. There is something very special about hearing these poems the way the poet intended. |
