I am really disappointed that the Fiona Haw filmed performance misses out my favourite line virtually from the end of the poem:"What have we given?" She just says Datta but not the words that follow. Why? Spoils it for me. Still pretty nice and fluid...

But I have now bought it and it is totally awesome!

Would love to buy but too expensive at £10!

time passes

Just goes to show what a natural match ebooks and poetry are - the ability to meld multimedia without diluting the power of the text on the page is utterly wonderful. This is a very impressive video which will hopefully will impact on how poetry is perceived by readers (and listeners) in our modern world.

This is an awesome app - but Fiona is a bit annoying. Where's Viggo?

That really is an excellent looking application - Considering I don't like poems - I am already quite interested in this one !!!!!! :)

Wonderful use of technology to illuminate and encourage exploration of a wonderful text. Huge implications here. Very excited to see how these types of projects develop and expand! Keep it up!

Viewing this app has induced me to reevaluate the reproduced experience, whereby we see and hear persons, events, via TV, YouTube, film, etc. to the actual experience of being in the room or at the rally. In truth any reproduction of experience would fall short. Yet this Walk through The Waste Land demonstrates as nothing I have ever seen the utility, capacity of this medium to reproduce a communion both complex and intimate for the creator and devotee.

Handy learning tool par excellence!
