I really enjoyed listening to this on a recent road trip. This is not just an audio book however, it features interviews and the poems read. I may have to keep this one for a while. I imagine I will listen to it again after I read it.


Amazon Editorial Review

Movies and poetry have been intertwined since the dawn of cinema. Poets have written about movies, and movie actors have written and been inspired by poetry. Selected by 42 acclaimed entertainers, The Poem I Turn To includes selections from Pulitizer Prize winners and Poets Laureate, as well as inspiring contemporary poets. Listen to compelling readings on the CD and read the actors' thoughts describing how poetry has affected their lives.

*HEAR
30 poems on one audio CD, including:
* Adam Arkin reading
Theodore Roethke's The Waking
* John Landis reading
Mark Twain's The War Prayer
* Lili Taylor reading
Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken
* Stacy Keach reading Shakespeare
And Many More

Poems are meant to be heard and this book offers that opportunity. I didn't find many of the interviews too interesting. Some of the readings were fine; others were too egotistical.
