Description
In 2001, Sourcebooks MediaFusion reinvigorated the way Americans experience poetry with Poetry Speaks, a book and three-CD combination featuring noted poets from Tennyson to Plath reading their own work. This remarkable anthology, a Los Angeles Times bestseller and a New York Times extended list bestseller, was lauded by Publishers Weekly as having "the potential to draw more readers to poetry than any collection in years." The power of spoken poetry is at the heart of Poetry Speaks. Poetry is a vocal art, an art meant to be read aloud. Listening to a poem read aloud can be a transforming experience. Poetry Speaks not only introduces the finest work from some of the greatest poets who ever lived, it reintroduces the oral tradition of poetry. - Publisher.
