Beautiful, Brief and Smart

Great music and concept. She reads poetry beautifully. I like how she (briefly) tells us who the writers are and how they managed to get their poems to us.

The narrator has a great voice for reading poetry, relaxing and good tempo. Well chosen poems too, followed but great tidbits of information. Perfect way to discover more authors.
