Summary: A romantically wonderful introduction to Auden's work!
Review: Poor reader; one of my favorite poems is 'As I Walked out One Evening' and this man mangles it beyond recognition. Just listen to the author's rendition and you will hear what the poem is really saying....just get Auden and save yourself some grief.

Summary: Ten unforgettable poems from the master
Review: This little volume 'Tell Me the Truth about Love' only contains ten poems, but the small number is easily compensated by the sheer warmth and authenticity of the ten pearls it contains. The poetry of W. H. Auden belongs clearly to one of the most beautiful created in the twenties century. It is never complex or high-flown, but gets its timeless charm exactly form its simplicity and remarkable honesty. Just to read that love does not look like a pair of pyjamas or the ham in a temperance hotel, can only bring a smile on the readers face, without making it sound like a lot of twaddle.Of course, the most famous of all the poems listed in this book is bound to be 'Funeral Blues', simply because is the heartbreaking center point of the funeral scene in the popular movie Four Weddings and a Funeral. But the other poems too make clear that Auden has until today not lost anything of its eloquence.
