Loading... Poetry Speaks: Hear Great Poets Read Their Work from Tennyson to Plathby Elise Paschen
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() This is a must-have volume for poetry lovers. Not only do you get to read about the lives of the best 20th century poets, but you get to hear them reading their own work on three CDs. It's amazing. In addition, I loved learning new things through the biographical sketches on each poet. Also a plus were the personal essays from some of today's best-known poets—though some were a bit too analytical (I liked the personal insights best, such as the piece on Muriel Rukeyser by Sharon Olds) and some I thought could have been researched a bit better (had Molly Peacock read SAVAGE BEAUTY by Nancy Milford, I doubt she would think of Edna St. Vincent Millay's childhood days as "ideal.") If you are in need of a poetry fix, read POETRY SPEAKS. no reviews | add a review
