In this episode, two voices — separated by a century — speak across love’s distance.

Lord Byron offers admiration in its purest form: a brief, bright vision of someone seen, not claimed.

Then Thomas Hardy answers, where love lingers in grief, and absence becomes almost audible.

Poems featured:

• Music, When Soft Voices Die – Percy Bysshe Shelley
• Requiem – Robert Louis Stevenson

This episode brings together two quiet reflections on what remains after we go.

Shelley’s Music, When Soft Voices Die is a brief and delicate meditation — a few lines that linger like perfume in a room just left.

Then Stevenson’s Requiem — steady, resolved, and ready. A farewell written with peace in its bones.

New episodes every Monday, each one a small moment to breathe and listen.

This Monday on A Voice Like This, two poems that speak quietly about what we leave behind.

One lingers like a memory… the other accepts its end with calm resolve.

Two voices. One final breath.

Poets featured: John Keats and W. B. Yeats

In this episode, we hear from two poets separated by time — but connected by something quieter. Stillness, memory, longing.

Keats reaches toward the stars with Bright Star, his voice full of yearning for something that won’t change.

Yeats, in contrast, looks back — with tenderness, and perhaps regret — in When You Are Old.

Coming Monday on A Voice Like This, I’ve paired two poems that sit quietly in the

space between love and time.

One looks up — full of longing and stillness.

The other looks back — with tenderness and

something left unsaid.

Keats and Yeats. Two voices, speaking across

the years.

Poems featured:

• A Dream Within a Dream – Edgar Allan Poe
• I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud – William Wordsworth

In this episode, we move from shadow to sunlight — pairing two iconic poems that look at time, memory, and how the world shifts around us.

We begin with Poe’s A Dream Within a Dream, a haunting piece about illusion and loss — and then return to earth with Wordsworth’s beloved I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, where a single moment of beauty lingers long after it's passed.

Welcome to the first episode of A Voice Like This — a podcast where I read poetry aloud, not to explain it, but to let it breathe.

In this opening episode, I begin with a pairing that moves from gentleness to something far more fierce: the quiet resilience of Emily Dickinson, followed by the fiery awe of William Blake.

In this episode:

• Why Hope still sings in the storm
• A note on the archaic pronunciation of symmetry
• What happens when a poem doesn't give you answers — only wonder
