badger11 Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I'm not a fan of her content, but I am a fan of her use of language. This link is likely to disappear, but worth a watch in understanding her context when she speaks for herself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zexu2SMUIdU...feature=related badge Quote
Aleksandra Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Actually, I had another imagery in my head about Plath. I don't know what is it, but I expected different voice. Not that I don't like what I heard, but who knows why I imagined differently. Wonderful post, badge.

Tinker Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Darn, I can't access this link from my office computer... the system firewalls block many internet sites so I will have to listen tonight on my home computer.. I think of Plath as whiney, so I am dying to hear her voice "so full of life." ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com

Tinker Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks for these Badge, I would never have thought to listen to Plath, she has never been a favorite of mine. But I have to admit, after listening to the link, I went on to listen to more. I like her poems much better hearing her read them. Funny, she doesn't sound like an American to me. Although I believe she was from the East and those Easterners sound a bit more high falutin.... Frost was not a surprise, I had heard him before. He drones, kind of boring, but his words impact me anyway. He is a favorite of mine but I prefer to read his work not listen to him. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com
badger11 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Posted August 2, 2010 It was the tempo of his reading that surprised me. It sounded hurried. badge Quote
