I found this so relaxing and entertaining. I have enjoyed poems ever since I was a child. My vision is poor so being able to listen is a bonus. Technology is awesome.

Excellent but, audible has messed up the chapters so you can’t navigate to individual poems.

The volume is well-named as it has a many marquee performances of some of the best modern poetry. The ending is also rather classy. I'm recommending this to everyone!

Fantastic Collection

It doesn’t give enough material to spend a credit on. I should have looked deeper into the length of this audiobook.

Too short

The bass is too high. Still a good listen. But as I said. Please turn the bass down. Some of the narrators don't need to be turned down. You'll know when you listen.

This volume, the second in a two-part series, covers the period from 1850 to recent times. As in volume 1, the choice of poems is excellent although it is inevitable that most listeners will miss a few of their own favorites that did not make the cut. To counter this, many listeners (myself included) who have not read too much poetry in recent years will be pleasantly surprise when a favorite but vaguely-remembered stanza or turn of phrase pops up unexpectedly. I notice that some other reviewers of volume 1 would have preferred a short introduction to each poem - the problem with this is that, while the introduction is useful the first time you listen, it is an annoyance thereafter. I thus far prefer this audiobook's approach of climbing in immediately, without foreplay. Again, as with volume 1, the various readers were all excellent, although I would have preferred two or three more British readers, to vary the accents a little more (an Irish accent in particular is always a delight). Audio quality (at level 4) is excellent.

I misses the opportunity to restart each poem. That along with no table of contents.
