Delightful but too short

Such a pleasure to listen to JD poems. Excellent performance by Richard Burton. It should have been longer selection.

Powerful voice but...

...but like many others here I wish each poem had a title. You literally don't know what he is reading unless you are familiar with the work. A major oversight but Burton is so strong he compensates.

It's Burton!

Burton could read the phone book and get 5 stars, but this is not the phone book...

....and I am limited to only 5 stars.

Great voice for reading poetry

Richard Burton reads with the right inflection for each poem. Enjoyed the poems that were well read.
