 Awesome if you can hear it.... |

It's awesome hearing the poetry in the voices of the poets, and I understand that these are amazingly rare and old recordings, but maybe it wasn't worth including pieces that just can't be understood? Or relate that fact to the customer so that they understand that the quality is diminished because of the oldness and rarity of the pieces.
A follow up reading by a contemporary poet on those pieces would add value to the set, and allow the customer two views of the written work. |

| I gave this to my Mother for Christmas as she is an avid reader of poetry. She was delighted to be able to hear the voices of some of her favorite poets reading their own works . . . recordings over 100 years old in some cases. She has listened to each of the 4 CDs twice already and her friends can hardly wait for her to share them! I told her to tell them to go to [...] for their own copies! |
Must have if you love or even like poetry

| This set was nominated for a Grammy and I certainly think it is worthy of winning. Rebekah Presson Mosby has compiled and produced an outstanding collection of some of the most important poets to date. To hear Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot and Gertrude Stein in their own voices is truly amazing. It's easy to get lost in the poetry, much nicer than listening to music while driving. I have all of Rebekah Presson Mosby's works and I think this set and Our Souls Have Grown Deep Like The Rivers are my two favorites. |
Excellent gift for poet

| My sister, a college professor and writer, loved this book. It is beautifully done, from the packaging to the selection of poems. |

| Beautiful packaging. I wish there was a tiny bit of space between poems, but neat product. |
