Calling all you poets and wanna-be-poets, here is a site for you.
Robert Pinsky, the 39th Poet Laureate of the United States,
has made his dream of poetry being presented as a vocal art a reality.
As Pinsky says of poetry, “it was written with the poet's voice
and for a voice. Reading a poem silently instead of saying a poem
is like the difference between staring at sheet music and actually
humming or playing the music on an instrument."
Come experience the ultimate in poetic expression and hear the audio
of your favorite poem!
A poet's pleasure is to withhold a little of his meaning, to intensify by mystification. He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it.

E.B. White
