In Their Own Voices: A Century of Recorded Poetry

Rating:
Summary: Great stuff, high price
Review: I recieved this CD set as a gift and I enjoyed listening to it so much that I made a tape so that I could listen to it in my car. To hear such famous poets as Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Jack Kerouac, Ogden Nash and Langston Hughes reading their own poetry added a whole new level to my enjoyment of these works I have loved so long. Also the box set included work by many poets I had never heard of before, so it really was educational as well as entertaining. Any true lover of poetry should own this set. To hear the poems read as the authors felt them is a unique and inspiring experience. I highly recommend it.

Review: This is a great collection, but buy it in the music CD section; not only is it less expensive, but you can listen to clips of the poets reading.
