DESCRIPTION:
great poems! Well read; great poems!
The use of three narrators in this audio anthology is a wise editorial decision, as it allows the poems to benefit from a broader range of voices. The poems are placed back-to-back here; one reader uses childlike dialogue, while the other switches to a darker tone to convey the despair of the second poem. For example, both versions of "The Chimney Sweeper" from SONGS OF INNOCENCE AND OF EXPERIENCE are narrated by the same boy, but with starkly different emotions. D.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine . In other selections, the power of Blake's apocalyptic verse is dramatic, almost chilling. From AudioFile Blake's poetry presents
