Poetry Forum

It's always fun to hear members reading their poems and most of us read the poems posted here aloud. It can be interesting and helpful to hear your own work in someone else's voice.

So feel free to post links to your audio here, just make sure if you're reading a poem other than your own that you make it clear whose poem it is.

Looking forward to hearing y'all.

I look forward to this. I want to know what the people on this site sound like. We should have a sexiest voice contest.

Well, as you know, I initially recorded all of the Seamus Heaney, Lewis Carroll and Browning on this site but billy had some issue where they all got lost.  Still, if you wanted to hear me read Bukowski, you can hear me read the first one here

and, I don't know if you remember but . . .

I recorded your poem "Boardwalks" and posted it here that once


also, when wjames was first learning guitar, he posted lyrics and chords to his song "Nothing Matters" which I took a stab at here

I had recorded cidermaid's "Drinking Problems" here, but the file seems to have disappeard.

also, I once did one of my own, "The Man Who Kept the Pigeons" but it seems to have disappeared.  You can still hear it right here:




so, yah, might have fiddled with it a little . . .

Ha, of course I remember your Boardwalks, it was mid-edit and really helped me. It seems soundcloud works well now, I had no problem with JM's, though anyone who thinks something else is better should let us know.

I'll start working on my Morgan Freeman voice.

Thanks, shem

Milo - that's wonderful. And gruesome.

Thanks!

simply excellent

Came across this in Misc:

Snowy

I was going to post a link to milo's reading of my Fey sonnet, but the link is no longer available. Milo?

One of my students googled and found my Soundcloud page. He told me that I should stick to writing and not read, because my voice sounds stupid

He's probably right.

See to us your voice sounds exotic. To him, it's the voice he hears every day.

I do feel that way about Louise Gluck. I love her poems, but damn she needs to hire a reader.

Actually, it wasn't Soundcloud, it was this one on Youtube -- first and last time I do that!

That was actually really cool both the visuals and the voice.

Just for comparison

actually, Leanne, you should post a reading alongside all your poetry.  That was lovely.  

I can start reading my poetry (badly) and the rest of you can shine by comparison--even Louise Gluck.
