Poetry On Record: 98 Poets Read Their Work (1888-2006) is an
engrossing collection of poems read by the people who wrote
them, from the dawn of sound recording to the current day.
Over the course of four CDs and an info-packed book, it
tells the story of the past 120 years of poetry in English,
from Romanticism (Dylan Thomas) to Modernism (T.S. Eliot),
from the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes) to Black Arts
(Amiri Baraka), from rhyme and meter (Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
to free verse (Adrienne Rich), and beyond. Equally
important, it allows listeners to understand exactly how the
poets intended their poems to be read aloud. Poetry On
Record is the most comprehensive collection of its kind and
is a must-have for any fan of poetry, or for anyone who
wants an expertly chosen overview as a starting point.
