Hi all... Ran across this site and thought some of you might be interested. Sorry you will have to paste the address... It's pretty much explained below and pretty cool. Hope you enjoy! stace www.favoritepoem.org/videos.html 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
