“What we need now in our world is more caring, thoughtful people. Poets are such people. By their nature they examine their (and by extension, our) inner lives, and with immense generosity they give us the benefit of their well-honed mindful insights, delivered in beautiful phrases and cadences. ...”Read full review »

“The importance of this project cannot be overstated. Poets are the protectors and purveyors of history. But the future is represented here too. All we have to do is let the voices in.
My only suggestion: provide more recordings of works read by the author wherever possible. Robert Lowell, for...”Read full review »

contrary to what another review said, I like this the way it is. it doesn’t need an intro/outro, especially when the content is so short.”
