Well-recognized poems from bygone eras, many of which I'd already read before. I thought it would be enjoyable to have poetry read to me for a change. Unfortunately, the readers were irritating, especially the males who were either mumbling or declaiming and whose cadence was choppy, at best. I may try another audio of poetry but, if it's as awful as this one was, will go back to reading poetry in print form.
