Poetry Speaks

Just a reminder...Mrs. Barton ordered some wonderful resources which I shared at a department meeting earlier in the year. Poetry Speaks is a collection of recordings of "canonical poets" reading their own works. Lots of good stuff in here...Tennyson, Whitman, Yeats, Frost, WCW, Hughes, Roethke, Brooks, Ginsberg, etc. Anyway, if you want to use it, come up and see me. It's in our department collection. Below I have posted the cover page and track list.
