I only follow a couple of poets writing right this minute, this is one of my favorites of hers.

This is a magazine run by Ms. Drake, you can find a bunch of her poems in old and new issues. If contemporary poetry was pro baseball I'd sign her to Double A immediately. Oni's already in the majors, but that's cuz she's got a few years on Ms. Drake.

I like me some Dylan Thomas, but I'm not a fan of his voice. It seems too put on, like "this is my reading poetry important voice" I got a cd with him reading poems when I bought the collected DT.

I prefer Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas, to Thomas himself.

I think that Dylan Thomas was merely following the received tradition for poetry reading at the time. The standards were set by the BBC. In the 1930s and 1940s BBC announcers used what would now be considered impossibly plummy diction.

Richard Burton Under Milk Wood is one of my favorite things.

"I will lie by your side like the Sunday roast."
 
MR EDWARDS

I am a draper mad with love. I love you more than all the
flannelette and calico, candlewick, dimity, crash and merino,
tussore, cretonne, crepon, muslin, poplin, ticking and twill
in the whole Cloth Hall of the world. I have come to take
you away to my Emporium on the hill, where the change hums
on wires. Throw away your little bedsocks and your Welsh
wool knitted jacket, I will warm the sheets like an electric
toaster, I will lie by your side like the Sunday roast.

MISS PRICE

I will knit you a wallet of forget-me-not blue, for the
money, to be comfy. I will warm your heart by the fire so
that you can slip it in under your vest when the shop is
closed.

MR EDWARDS

Myfanwy, Myfanwy, before the mice gnaw at your bottom drawer
will you say

MISS PRICE

Yes, Mog, yes, Mog, yes, yes, yes.

MR EDWARDS

And all the bells of the tills of the town shall ring for
our wedding.

I could swear you shilled for that poem here (maybe not that Canto lol but I bet that was it) years ago. Not that I object. Just that I remember.

But of course you should promote yourself here, Lord. I don't call just any guy Lord, you know.

If by "here" you mean the Poetry forum, then you may be thinking of this thread:

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto IV

Canto III was in 2003 on the GB, Canto IV was Oct. 04 to Jan. 05.
