Seekers of inspiration will find it in William Henley's masterpiece, "Invictus" and Rudyard Kipling's massively popular "If" Special sections explore favorite poetic movements. In sections on American poetry, Longfellow and Emerson bring the Nineteenth Century to vivid life, while, from the Twentieth Century, Robert Frost reflects on "The Road Not Taken," Paul Laurence Dunbar comments on the need for racial justice, and Emma Lazarus offers welcoming words to be placed at the Statue of Liberty ("Give me your tired, your poor...") The British Romantics are here, too: Blake's "Tyger" roars, Wordsworth and Lord Byron reveal beauty in nature and in the human heart, and Shelley reflects on the meaning of true greatness in his classic, "Ozymandias" I believe the words and topics on this recording (the 2nd in our "Cornucopia of Best-Loved Poems" series) will captivate almost any listener and foster the desire to explore more great poetry. So let TEN THOUSAND STARS shine for you!
