You have a fine voice for reading the great poetry you've chosen here. Thanks for the work you do.

A beautiful sonnet, beautifully read. The winter tree metaphor is perfect for her reflections.
-
Just another of my favourite poems from this poet. "Love is not meat nor drink...but many a man is (dying) for lack of love alone." These love poems contrast with many of her poems..."Music my rampart and my only one." OR her first poem "Renascence" written when she was only 19 years old. Louis Untermeyer's Anthology >Modern American & British Poetry<(1942 Combined Edition) is available at Alibris Books. Untermeyer gives well researched biographies of each poet, many otherwise forgotten!

In Bill Bryson's social history "At Home," he quotes Edna as saying, "The only people I really hate are servants. They are not really human beings at all."
Ironically, H. L. Mencken refused to print any of her poetry in his magazines, but now Mencken is thought of as a bigot.

This, YOU?, sounds like Sean Connery or Ralph Richardson. Are you kidding me?
You read this? I will check your other readings. It's astoundingly beautiful. Astoundingly. I know her sonnets by heart, but I've never heard them done so beautifully--and by a man/how ironic!

Who is reciting? Why can't I find who this is? I can't think who it is, but it is so familiar....
