One thinks of poetry as words on a page, but it is in the poet's own voice—in the rhythms, inflections and intonations—where the poem comes alive and words take on the power and passion of the poet.
Poetry Speaks, Expanded Edition, edited by Elise Paschen, is a fusion of the poet's words with the poet's voice, including text and recordings of nearly fifty of the greatest poets who ever lived, ranging from Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Edna St. Vincent Millay and T.S. Eliot to Langston Hughes, Dylan Thomas, Elizabeth Bishop and Gwendolyn Brooks.
Biographical sketches and critical essays examine the impact of each poet's life and work, written by such luminaries as Billy Collins, Dana Gioia, Jorie Graham, Robert Hass, Sharon Olds, Mark Strand and Richard Wilbur.
Poetry Speaks, Expanded Edition is the first anthology to capture in one volume such an important and diverse array of poets both in print and on audio. A living document to be shared, this collection is a treasury of the spoken and written word that nourishes the soul. Features three bound-in audio CDs of historic poets reading their own work.
