The third volume in the incredibly popular Audio Archive Anthology series features 21 poems read by some of the most influential poets of the twentieth century. As with previous Anthology CDs, each track has been selected from the full-length readings in our Audio Archive catalog, and has been digitally remastered to restore the nuances of the author’s voice without altering the atmospheric tone of the original recording.

Poets featured on Anthology III include: Frank Bidart, Louise Bogan, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg, Louise Glück, Robert Graves, Donald Hall, Robert Hass, Anthony Hecht, John Hollander, Randall Jarrell, Donald Justice, Galway Kinnell, Carolyn Kizer, Howard Nemerov, Robert Pinsky, Charles Simic, Quincy Troupe, Robert Penn Warren and C.K. Williams. The poetry seleected for Anthology III ranges from the somber to the whimsical and the abstract to the palpable – a compilation as varied as the landscape of American poetry itself.
