    Hi Annie,

    I really like your Librivox reading of ‘The Raven’ by Poe - it’s very even and calm. It lets the words in the poem do all the work. It is such an easy poem to “ham up,” and your refusal to do so demonstrates a real understanding of its power. I’m going to send it (from Manchester, England) to my friend Kate who’s in Japan as part of a Halloween CD I’m making.

    Thanks so much for your reading!

    David

    Hi Annie,
    Would you please read some poems of Lord Byron and Emily Brontë,or “the White Birds” by W.B.Yeats if you have time?I do believe you can read them perfectly.

    Best wishes.
