Poetry is an oral art. What we see on the page is a script for performance. Some of the performances are designed for virtual voices, others for mind and body coming together. As Robin Skelton said to me once: "If I can't hear the music in a poem, I don't trust it." The recordings here are the product of 100s of readings, from Nottingham to Fort St. John, and from Victoria to Ottawa. more

Hear Ezra Pound
            come alive in these readings by one of the best readers
            of poetry alive today. Both readings were given at
            Victoria's Hawthorne Bookshop. 

            
            
At the reading of
            Kazoo: The Psalm at the End of the Song, the
            audience launched the reading with a group chorus of
            "When the Saints Come Marching In", played on the Kazoo.
            

            
            
The reading of
            In the Presence of Ghosts  was called the best
            reading they ever had.

A
            selection from the poems of Free Will. Hear Harold take
            on all the parts, buzzle, crackle, and laugh, sing,
            tease, celebrate and mourn along with Puck and all the
            cast.

Shakespeare
            comes to life in these contemporary translations of his
            sonnets. Hear him beg, plead, rage, howl, cry, and strut
            his stuff, onstage and off. Most of all, hear him in
            love
