Book Reviews of Poetry Speaks: Hear Great Poets Read Their Work from Tennyson to Plath (Book and 3 Audio CDs)
Book Review: a treasure trove for poetry readers and listeners
Summary: 4 Stars
This book contains three CDs of familiar and not-so-familiar poets and poetry, many of them American classics, and includes powerful readings by Langston Hughes and Etheridge Knight. It is truly fascinating to hear Tennyson's and Browning's faint but compelling readings recorded by Eddison in the earliest days of sound recording. The book itself is a generous anthology which includes many poems not included among the 142 recorded poems, giving a wider perspective of the poets' work, as well as biographical information and photographs. My only criticism is the lack of cross-indexing, making it a bit of a struggle to locate recordings in the printed text. Otherwise, great!
