You're right, Willard, that experiencing the sound of poetry is important for
understanding and appreciating a poem. The Listening Booth at the Academy of
American Poets http://www.poets.org/booth/booth.cfm and the Internet Poetry
Archive at the University of North Carolina offer readings, many of them by the
poets themselves. I use these sites with my literature classes Tidewater
Community College and plan to have students upload their own readings to their
webfolios, in particular, online literature classes. Donna

Our newly reformulated e-text center is now a center for digital music,
images and text. I am preparing a demonstration project, a poem by
Federico Garcia Lorca, which will include not only music related to his
poetry but also readings of the poem. I will be using the demonstration
project to encourage faculty and grad students to incorporate our center in
their teaching of literature and languages, and to encourage them to use
sound as well as images in text projects.

Willard,
This practice has been going on for some time among Chaucerians (and I
believe among a number of Anglo-Saxonists, though I'm no longer on ANGSAXNET
and can't keep you up to date). The Chaucer MetaPage at UNC-Chapel Hill
(http://www.unc.edu/depts/chaucer), Jane Zatta's Chaucer Page at Southern
Illinois University (http://www.siue.edu/CHAUCER/) and the Chaucer Studio
(http://humanities.byu.edu/chaucer/) at Brigham Young, which sells tapes of
many medieval poems and also makes generous web bites available. I
agree--hearing the music of a poem is one of the best ways students learn to
appreciate it! The Penn Writers' House at the University of Pennsylvania
does host occasional webcasts of readings--essentially radio broadcasts over
the net--and these are archived so that they can be retrieved. I've also
found a few "Town Hall" type recordings of writers like Frost reading their
poems, but the quality of these varies widely. A few of my students have
referred me to online poetry slams where new poets share their work, but
it's usually in a chat room type environment--I can't recall experiencing
any audio readings. Maybe as some of the newer voice technology becomes more
common, we'll see (and hear) more modern readings. In the meantime, if
anyone knows of any other sources for audio feeds of poetry, I'd appreciate
hearing about them (perhaps off-list: tarversj@winthrop.edu)and would
happily compile them on a handy web page if other members of the list would
like to consult them. I have a student working on a small grant this summer
to develop such resources.
Best,
Jo T

(I especially like the way in which he incorporates multiple readings into
the structure of the hypertext)
A friend of mine also pointed out a site called "poems that go"--more along
the lines of what Willard was asking about. At:
http://www.poemsthatgo.com/poems.htm
Looking forward to any comments that anyone has,

If so, it is an idiosyncracy I share. I'll keep my ears open for poetry
readings on the Web.
