Lovely choice of poems and analysis. I particularly appreciate the care taken to find a fitting place to read each piece.

This is superb. I love his voice and choice of poems.
Description
Poetry read in a fitting setting, by teacher and poet of no great renown: Joe Riley.
Great poems from a range of eras read aloud in a place that befits them. No lectures, not too many long words or academic pretence; a chance to sketch out how a poem reaches your heart.
