5.0 out of 5 stars Whimsical monologues of mind and heart!, December 7, 2002

By A Customer

I'm not sure if this may have come from NPR, refreshing little bursts of thought...yes it's spoken poetry but not artificial or self-conscious ... it is more like the inner monologues we usually have going during the day, but always with a twist that elevates the observation to find a new meaning in the most ordinary things.... widely varied, some of them have light sound effects and music, some work better than others, but the variety keeps it fresh with repeated listenings. Listen while commuting, on an exercise walk, etc. as well as at home... A booklet in the CD has all the words to the poems - If you like Billy Collins or Rumi, you'll like this.
