Album Description
THE ULTIMATE POETRY BOX Poetry On Record: 98 Poets Read Their Work (1888-2006) is an engrossing collection of poems read by the people who wrote them, from the dawn of sound recording to the current day. Over the course of four CDs and an info-packed book, it tells the story of the past 120 years of poetry in English, from Romanticism (Dylan Thomas) to Modernism (T.S. Eliot), from the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes) to Black Arts (Amiri Baraka), from rhyme and meter (Alfred, Lord Tennyson) to free verse (Adrienne Rich) and beyond. Equally important, it allows listeners to understand exactly how poets intended their poems to be read aloud. With 128 poems read by 98 poets, Poetry On Record is the most comprehensive collection of its kind, covering such famous poets as Walt Whitman, William Butler Yeats, Robert Frost, Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, E.E. Cummings, Dorothy Parker, Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsburg, and Sylvia Plath, as well as a plethora of lesser-known but highly regarded poets. Poetry On Record is a must-have for any fan of poetry, or for anyone who wants an expertly chosen overview as a starting point. Produced and compiled by noted poetry expert Rebekah Presson Mosby

 Poetry on Record January 19, 2008
I gave this to my Mother for Christmas as she is an avid reader of poetry. She was delighted to be able to hear the voices of some of her favorite poets reading their own works . . . recordings over 100 years old in some cases. She has listened to each of the 4 CDs twice already and her friends can hardly wait for her to share them! I told her to tell them to go to [...] for their own copies!
Must have if you love or even like poetry January 21, 2007

This set was nominated for a Grammy and I certainly think it is worthy of winning. Rebekah Presson Mosby has compiled and produced an outstanding collection of some of the most important poets to date. To hear Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot and Gertrude Stein in their own voices is truly amazing. It's easy to get lost in the poetry, much nicer than listening to music while driving. I have all of Rebekah Presson Mosby's works and I think this set and Our Souls Have Grown Deep Like The Rivers are my two favorites.

My sister, a college professor and writer, loved this book. It is beautifully done, from the packaging to the selection of poems.

Beautiful packaging. I wish there was a tiny bit of space between poems, but neat product.
