Poetry on Record 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 volumes, 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 the poets intended their poems to be read aloud. This is the second volume of a four part series. The following works are contained in this audio: John Berryman: #23 ("The Lay of Ike"), #36 ("The high ones die...") David Ignatow : "The world is so difficult to give up...", "This is the solution, to be happy with slaughter...", "Here I am with mike in hand, shooting down the rapids...", "I killed a fly...", "What about dying?..." William Stafford: "Passing Remark", "Serving With Gideon" Dylan Thomas: "And Death Shall Have No Dominion", "The Tombstone Told When She Died" Gwendolyn Brooks: "The Mother", "We Real Cool" Robert Lowell: "Skunk Hour" William Meredith: "Crossing Over" Lawrence Ferlinghetti: "See it was like this when...", "Underwear" Charles Bukowski: "The Secret of My Endurance" Hayden Carruth: "Ray" Richard Wilbur: "Love Calls Us to the Things of This World" Denise Levertov: "Death Psalm: O Lord of Mysteries" Lisel Mueller: "Monet Refuses the Operation" Maxine Kumin: "Woodchucks" Allen Ginsberg: "America" A.R.
