Catching Life by the Throat unites the sound, sense, and sensibility that lie at the heart of great poetry. It features eight great poets, with brief, accessible essays concerning their life and work and a selection of their poems, and it is accompanied by an 80-minute CD recorded live at the British Library: Ralph Fiennes reading Auden, Edward Fox reading Eliot, Roger Moore reading Kipling, Harold Pinter reading Larkin, and more.
Whether you believe (like Robert Frost, who inspired the title) that poetry is a way of "taking life by the throat" or (like T. S. Eliot) that it "is one person talking to another," nobody does it better than the poets featured in this book. For a novice discovering the rich heritage of English-language verse or a seasoned poetry reader, Catching Life by the Throat is an extraordinary introduction to eight iconic poets.

Catching Life by the Throat: How to Read a Poem and Why with CD (Audio)
Although subtitled "How to Read Poetry and Why," the how mostly comes from listening to the accompanying CD and the why is mostly missing. The biographical sketches and artistic summaries are interesting but do not merit the subtitle. The CD includes many great actors and is enlightening; I consider it the best part of the book.
