Potioncat:
I much prefer to hear poetry read (by someone who knows how) than to 
read it myself. It's difficult to find audio poetry collections. My 
library, otherwise very good, had very few to choose from.

I do have "When Love Speaks" which is a section of poems by Shakespeare 
read by RADA graduates. (I've lost count of the number of HP actors) 
I've also gotten one from the library called, "Stages" I think. Also 
read by a variety of actors. It is a collection of poems based on the 7 
stages of life, getting the theme and title from the Shakespeare poem.
