  • In a curious way, your make reading of this--I think W.H. Auden's greatest poem--refreshingly ...not about you reading. I wanted to hear it read well, and have to confess that other, deep-voiced SpokenVerse guy or whatever... I like him well enough... he loves great poetry, too. But sounds like his readings are more about his (clearly self-satisfactory) diction and voice, than about Auden (or Yeats, or mad Ireland, or Paul Claudel, or Time)... THIS reading though: spectacular in its humility.

  • just great....

    -leo

  • you need to read just a bit slower, and modulate your tone a bit more.

  • You put back the Paul Claudel verse !

  • The penultimate poet of the twentieth century writing about the ultimate.Ignore the reading. The poetry is the message.

  • What "boner"?

  • pack up your boner and dismantle your dick.

  • Apology accepted. I believe this man is reading these poems because he is inspired by the poetry. I don't think he is gay, either, so you may have offended him. However, that makes no difference. He is honoring a great poet, not crusing in red light district.

  • Either forgive my spelling of "private".

  • I can't but agree with you! But there are either a lot of books devoted to his privet life and relationship with Chester Kallman. Nevertheless, if my comments offended you I'm sorry.
