Poetry Out Loud

Three varied anthologies from the rich tradition of English poesy, read by the finest voices of the recording age.


Contains Classic Poems, War Poems and The Poetry of Rudyard Kipling.


Amongst the delights featured on Classic Poems are Sir Ralph Richardson reading Keats’ To Autumn, Dylan Thomas raging through selection from Milton’s Paradise Lost to a gallery of other poets reading their own work. In War Poems, Paul McGann and Regine Candler create a powerful and moving anthology of war poems from the 18th century to our own days in the long shadow of the bomb. Finally Rudyard Kipling’s poems convey strong emotions of bitterness, humanity and sentiment. They include favourites such as `If-’, `The Way through the Woods’ and `Mandalay’.
