Review:

“if there is one area of literature that is ideally suited to the talking book format it is poetry. Gifted readers tease out sense and meaning... and reveal rhythm, metre and nuance... The effect is electrifying: Burton’s deep powerful Welsh voice pumps hot blood through the veins of the intellectual poet and renders passionately human the sometimes convoluted imagery... Through ingeniously sustained imagery, his rigorously high ideals of love blaze with a directness and occasional physicality that, as delivered here by Burton, make one catch one’s breath.”
Sunday Times 15/2/98

From the Back Cover:

Turning his back on the ascetic medieval and the ideal Renaissance concepts, Donne described a real and experienced love, a love the pinnacle of which is the joyous union of body and soul.

The poems in this collection display his precocious virtuosity, bending both meaning and sound to the service of the Metaphysical conceit.
