Download The Poetry Hour, Volume 8: Time for the Soul AudioBook Free

Poetry is often cited as our biggest use of words. The British language has well over a million of these and poets down the age groups seem, at times, to use every single one. But often they utilize them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the individual condition. Poems can evoke within us an individual response that will take us by wonder, that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings. Forget the notion of basic poetry being in some way dull and boring and best retained to children's textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to your lives today. Where to start? How to do that? Poetry can be difficult. We've put together some very eclectic poetry, with a broad selection of poets and themes, to attract you and seduce you with all types of temptations. With this hour we add poets of the product quality and breadth of Edward Lear and Robert Southey as well as themes on Heaven, fatality, the metaphysical poets and even more. All are from Lightweight Poetry, a passionate poetry publisher. We assume that poetry should be a part of our daily lives, uplifting the heart and achieving the parts that other arts can't.
