Sometimes we just want the best. But that involves choices, judgements, decisions. And that all depends on our feelings, our mood at the time. Even more so with poetry.

Is it easier to choose your 50 favourite poets or your 50 favourite poems?

In this carefully selected audiobook of verse with works by Keats, Kipling, Southey, Yeats and others, such Hollyood legends as Helen Hayes and Raymond Massey provide unique readings and interpretations of these classics.
