about the book
Soaring or searing, passionate or perplexed--Love speaks in many voices. It speaks of anticipation and anxiety, of devotion and doubt. No one over the centuries has embodied these voices better than our master poets, who have taken raw feelings and shaped them into immortal monuments. On these special CDs, the greatest poems on love and marriage will stir your heart and memories. Includes the famous balcony scene from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, W.H. Auden’s popular "Funeral Blues", Edna St. Vincent Millay’s bittersweet sonnets, exquisite poems by Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings, William Blake, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, A.E. Housman, and many others. Here indeed is the language of the heart, with the full range of its power and intimacy. Each will be packaged with a perfect-bound book containing the text of all the poems and feature an introduction by J.D. McClatchy.
