Audio Poetry On The Net

[Robert]

Am I alone in listening to and downloading poems from the internet?

I've found quite a few good sites besides the BBC. If you are interested just say and I'll post the URL's.

There is also software around that will allow you to listen to them off line.

Take Care

[Lia]

No, you are not alone Robert...

please put up any links you have, I'm very interested.

Murray Lachlan Young. Once popular, then vanished and is now on the way back up. Make sure you mouse carefully as some of the writing is a bit jumbled and has hidden links.

This has been posted before too - but I still think it's amazing that you can actually listen to Alf Tennyson in action:
