Ok, the recording quality isn’t great for some of these (sounding like a tape recorder in a lecture hall), but it is amazing to hear so many beloved poets reading their work. I feel it was definitely worth the price.

Great Buy

They are old recordings, but all the better for it, I think. The crackling, the pauses, made it all the more real and intense to me.

Tres Bien!
