In todays London "Daily Telegraph" I saw a reference
to a website devoted to readings of poetry. Rudyard
Kipling is represented by his only known recording – a
short extract from "France" which is the same as that
included on the British Library CDs. To quote from the
site:
"The Poetry Archive exists to help make poetry
accessible, relevant and enjoyable to a wide audience.
It came into being as a result of a meeting, in a
recording studio, between Andrew Motion, soon after he
became U.K. Poet Laureate in 1999, and the recording
producer, Richard Carrington. They agreed about how
enjoyable and illuminating it is to hear poets reading
their work and about how regrettable it was that, even
in the recent past, many important poets had not been
properly recorded."
The website can be found at:
