amelia_petkova...make me love being an English major. The past couple days in one of my literature classes we've been listening to the CDs for the book Poetry Speaks. It contains recordings of English and American poets reading their poems. We've listened to
--Alfred Lord Tennyson
--Walt Whitman
--Robert Frost
--William Butler Yeats
--T.S. Eliot
--Dylan Thomas Gwendolyn Brooks
--Langston Hughes
--W.H. Auden
The entire time I was fangirling Yeats and Gwendolyn Brooks. You can't understand Tennyson and Whitman, but come on! We heard the voices of people writing during the Victorian Period and the (American) Civil War!!! You don't get much more literary kick-ass than that.
