Australian poets in bath voice fail to charm many readers
Maurice Dunlevy argues that recorded verse transforms poetry for listeners though not all readers share the bath time devotion. He praises Margaret R wards readings of Hopkins and Donne, cites Auden and Dylan Thomas, notes weak performances by A D Hope and Bruce Dawe, and recommends Argo Caedmon catalogs and ABC radio for access to good verse readings. He concludes poetry survives poor readings but thrives when the author’s voice carries its personality.
