From listening to his grandmother recite epic poems from memory to curling up in bed while his father read funny verses, award-winning actor John Lithgow grew up with poetry. Ever since, John has been an enthusiastic seeker of poetic experience, whether reading, reciting, or listening to great poems.
The wide variety of carefully selected poems in this book provides the perfect introduction to appeal to readers new to poetry, and for poetry lovers to experience beloved verses in a fresh, vivid way. William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Dylan Thomas are just a few names among Lithgow's comprehensive list of poetry masters. His essential criterion is that "each poem's light shines more brightly when read aloud." This unique package provides a multimedia poetry experience with a bonus MP3 CD of revelatory poetry readings by John and the familiar voices of such notable performers as Eileen Atkins, Kathy Bates, Glenn Close, Billy Connolly, Jodie Foster, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Lynn Redgrave, Susan Sarandon, Gary Sinise, and Sam Waterston.
Every reader will enjoy reciting or listening to these poems with the entire family, appreciating how each one comes to life through the spoken word in this superlative poetry collection.

reviewed Poets' Corner: The One and Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family on September 12, 2020 Poets' Corner: The One and Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family
John Lithgow is my poetry kindred spirit. I loved his selections for this book but what I loved most is the way he talked about each poem. Not once does he slip from synthesis to analysis. He fosters love and I love him for it.
I highly recommend the audio. His folksy charm is infectious and do not think any of the famous readers reads the poems better than he does.
Thanks to my friend and Patron Alanna for the head's up about this book!
