Poems, Selected by Wadsworth

Rating:
Summary: Fear the worst.
Review: I believe that we have found something special. Allow yourself the favor of listening to a few moments of the Blackstone Audio reading of Wordsworth. I would warn that you plan a period during which you might fight your laughter!The snooty Englishman lilts and dances with a sarcastically disengaged air. With great effort, he limits his range and pulls back from verbal interpretation of the poem, forcing the listener to tense, to listen and painfully reconstruct the onslaught of loose dialog into the original poem. The experience is not unlike reading a poem on a scrolling marquee; the mechanical progression forces the rhythm and destroys the formatting and symmetry of the piece. Like a robot, the reader runs into a wall as we end one piece and, without pause for analysis, spin and rush straight into a new and randomly chosen direction.I don't like to make a habit of returning items; I have spent thousands with Amazon.com and perhaps so many items as you could count on one hand have come back. Once in a great while however, I give thanks for the option
