THE POEM I TURN TO Actors and Directors Present Poetry That Inspires Them

This recording of poetry is accompanied by a text that includes the contributors' biographies and comments. The project, an anthology of favorite poems from actors and directors, is well intentioned but uneven. The text is a richer compilation of poems, as the recording contains barely a handful of poems--the text includes 80 poems, the recording only 15. While the text contains poems selected by actors noted for their interesting and trained voices, such as Kyra Sedgwick and Jane Fonda, their voices are not on the CD. Further, the readers who are on the recording do not do justice to the poems they selected. R.F. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2008]
