Amy, it was fascinating to hear your voice! I didn’t quite understand everything of the poem, but I’ll try and get the poem somewhere written down, so I can read it and at the same time listen to it.

What a treat to hear your voice! I haven't heard this poem since I was in college. I think a boyfriend read it to me. nouveaufauvess last blog post..Yosemite Calendar Pics

Hi Amy. You've picked two lovely poems here, and I like your interpretations / explanations too. I'll have to put some more thought into the poems that I would choose! Autumn Songs last blog post..Magic Money Pots

Wonderful poem. And I love the audio thread. I'll have to work up the courage to do that kind of recording though. Hmmm. Bos last blog post..Thorny Issue

Amy, what a wonderful contribution, thank you. Your reading made me cry, just like you did the first time I heard you on voice thread – the first time I met you! – reading A Red, Red, Rose

It’s a great poem and indeed, and I think you’ve captured really well how the questions work – your first point in particular

“They hint at what lies beyond words: the unspeakable realms of love, death, desire, sensuality.”

Late Fragment was part of my inspiration for the project and I was going to include it… then changed my mind, partly in the hope that somebody else wonderful would.

Poetry makes so much more sense to me when I hear it, so thank you, Amy for making this recording. What struck me about Auden's poems is that none of them can really be answered. In asking the questions, the poet made me realize that love is a little like a lot of things, but exactly like nothing else in the world.
