The Voice of the Poet : Robert Lowell

Rating:
Summary: Great package of tape & texts & introductory essay
Review: This series, the Voice of the Poet, offers not just great tapes--there are lots of sources for poetry tapes out there--but the best tapes in the best context. This package offers a fantastic selection of Lowell's poems, read by Lowell in very high-quality recordings. The texts for all the poems he reads are provided in an elegant booklet that sits in a convenient pocket in the tape-case, and J.D. McClatchy provides an extremely useful, thoughtful introduction to Lowell's poetry. I'm very happy to have it for myself, but I think it would would be perfect for students as well.
