(4 stars; 3 reviews)

LibriVox volunteers bring you 19 recordings of A Warning by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
This was the Weekly Poetry project for November 15, 2020.
------
Around the age of 8, Wilcox turned to writing poetry as an outlet. When she was 13 years old, her first poem was published. After losing her subscription to The New York Mercury, and being unable to afford to resubscribe, Wilcox thought that if she could get a piece of literature published, she would at least receive a copy of the paper wherein her piece was printed. The piece that she submitted is lost, and Wilcox later admitted that she could not recall even the topic of the poem. Wilcox became known as a poet in her own state by the time she graduated from high school.

Critiques

Short poem read in many styles


(3.5 stars)

I prefered The Warning when read by a woman. And just a couple hit it as I thought it should be recited. I prefered the poem read softly and then more cautionary as it progressed, then ended as the title suggests. I dont normally listen to poetry, but the title spike my curiosity.
