Poetry archive

The Poetry archive has been created to allow users to hear major poets reading their work. It is a result of a project begun by Andrew Motion, U.K. Poet Laureate in 1999, and recording producer, Richard Carrington. The Poetry archive is a not-for-profit organisation with charitable status. To hear the recordings in the Poetry archive you will need Real Player software. If you cannot hear the Poetry archive recordings, you probably do not have Real Player software installed on your machine. You can get it, free of charge by connecting to the Real Player web page below:
