generally good readings


(3 Sterne)

The quality of readings for this collection of Yeats's poetry ranges from acceptable to downright lovely. A good chunk of the readings are bland and forgettable. It's nice to hear some English and even Irish accents in the mix. One woman actually sings a couple of the "songs" in this collection, which was a startlingly pleasant surprise. It's a generally well-read selection of poetry.
