"The Raven," by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"Reflections in a Forest," by WH Auden

So I am going to be doing little videos that involve the recitation of poems that I like. I'm pretty sure citing the author is adequate for fair use purposes. If it isn't, I'd still be surprised if the copyright nazis came to bang down my door. In the implausible event that a living poet whose poem I read proffers an objection to the recording, I will take it down immediately.

Some of these will be a little out of the way I think (like this one), others will be more well known. Partly I just want to hear what I sound like when I read them, as a kind of feedback exercise, but you know, poems are cool, and I see no reason not to try in my own way to push them out into the world.
