Splendid reading. Would you be kind enough to do a reading of "Binsey Poplars" or "God's Grandeur" from Hopkins? I agree with Homelyhobbit's comment.

I will bear your request in mind. Thanks for writing!

This is among the best readings of poetry I've seen on youtube. Your style reminds me of W.B. Yeats' "elevated chant."

thank you dear Hobbit - I think I had a cold at the time, but Hopkins is so musical always.
