The poetry voice podcast returns.

The Poetry voice podcast returns. A free audio anthology of poetry, from the earliest times to the present day. 

The latest episode is here: http://www.liamguilar.com/2024/8/13/wbyeats-politics

Originally designed to accompany courses I was teaching on the history of English poetry and the pleasure of poetry, each episode consists of a reading of a single poem.  There is no commentary or explanation, just the poem. Sometimes the difference between engagement and indifference is a passable reading of the poem. 

A brief introduction to each poem and the poet is contained in a written note which accompanies the episode, though these are kept as short as possible.

There's been a long break due the amount of construction work that has been going on around here. Hopefully no more demolition or power tools or tradies with their radios blaring. I can't do anything about birds, dogs, traffic and the occasional chiming clock but hopefully those are not too intrusive.

You can listen on Spotify or Apple or directly at
