Poetry being read by the poet

I like poetry, and I like listening to poetry being read. And so, from time to time I pay a visit to the Poetry Archive, where they have an archive of historic recordings where you can listen to the author reading some of their own poems. Here are a few; click on the title to go direct to the web page where you can read the poem while you listen to it being read.

The Lake Isle of Innisfree
by William Butler Yeats

I had some other links, but I did something wrong and all I ended up with was some tough-to-decipher HTML, which I didn’t feel like trying to fix. So, if you want to, you can click here to get directed directly to the Poetry Archive.
