Poetry Archive

The Poetry Archive is the world's premier online collection of recordings of poets reading their work.

It hosts, free of charge, recordings of the voices of contemporary English-language poets and of poets from the past. The Archive is growing all the time.

The Archive has been set up:
1) to conserve voices that might otherwise be lost;
2) to demonstrate that the sound of a poem is as important to its existence as whatever the words might mean when we read them on the page;
3)to provide plenty ofadvice to teachers and students about the meaning and pleasure of poetry in general.
