CD1: Walt Whitman recites "America," recorded on wax cylinder by Thomas Edison circa 1890, ends w/Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats" (Part 1).

Merwin, then Gary Snyder, Sylvia Plath, Amiri Baraka, Leonard Cohen & Mark Strand. CD4: features Charles Simic, Al Young, Anne Waldman, Sharon Olds, Joy Harjo, Carolyn Forche & Li-Young Lee. In all, 80 poets, 122 poems, many of the major voices.

Pristine though unboxed set is likely hard-to-find & collectible.
