Download The Poets' Corner: The One-and-Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family AudioBook Free
From listening to his grandmother recite epic poems from memory to curling up during intercourse while his father read funny verses, award-winning actor John Lithgow was raised with poetry. Ever since, John has been a keen seeker of poetic experience, whether reading, reciting, or listening to great poems.
The wide selection of carefully selected poems in this book supplies the perfect introduction to appeal to readers not used to poetry, and for poetry lovers to see beloved verses in a fresh, vivid way. William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Dylan Thomas are simply a few names among Lithgow's comprehensive set of poetry masters. His essential criterion is the fact "each poem's light shines more brightly when read aloud." This unique package provides a multimedia poetry experience with an added bonus MP3 CD of revelatory poetry readings by John and the familiar voices of such notable performers as Eileen Atkins, Kathy Bates, Glenn Close, Billy Connolly, Jodie Foster, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Lynn Redgrave, Susan Sarandon, Gary Sinise, and Sam Waterston.
Every reader will love reciting or listening to these poems with the whole family, appreciating how each one comes to life through the spoken word in this superlative poetry collection.
