Fully Delightful., July 26, 2004
This review is from: E.E. Cummings: A Poetry Collection (Audio Cassette)
It is so cool to hear this uniquely wonderful poet's own voice resonating his own works. Its art. Its history. Its beautiful. Its magical. And real. You often hear background noises of people coughing in the audience, occassional laughter, etc. that gives these recordings such an authentic feel - its like your right in the room with him. Its very interesting to hear how he reads his works in comparison with the way they are placed on the page - this helps in the understanding of them, with his varied tones, and rhythms. His words and his voice are fully delightful - all that such a great poet's should be. I love it and am so glad that these recordings are available to the public - such a rich treasure.
(I found some of the poems to alter in volume rather significantly - some being much quieter than others, so you may have to play with the volume knob every now and then.)
