Disparejo: Visceral a ratos, prolijo y apegado a lo formal en otros momentos. PoesĂa que reniega de apellidos, de los ismos y de las taxonomĂas mañosas. PoesĂa a secas, con las manos vacĂas y sin cruzar los dedos.

"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door - Only this and nothing more."". Those sonorous and somber words of Edgar Allan Poe that begin The Raven are part of most everyone's fond educational memories. Beautiful and haunting to hear and even more fun to read aloud. In this recording I have just attempted to express my enjoyment of the beauty in some favorite Poe poems. Beside The Raven, there are Alone; A Dream Within A Dream; Annabel Lee; City In the Sea; The Bells; A Dream Within a Dream; Annabel Lee; Dreamland; Evening Star; Lenore; Eldorado; A Valentine and "The Happiest Day". Hopefully listeners will enjoy hearing them half as much as I enjoyed the selfish pleasure of recording them. (Summary by Phil Chenevert)
