Poetry in my mind speaks of Shakespeare plays ( not really poetry?), Robert Frost's poem on fog, Robert Burns' "..Grow old along with me...", "The Song of Hiawatha" and that's about it. But as I have enjoyed reading works by authors Christopher Hitchens liked as mentioned in his writing and interviews, I decided to look up poems by James Fenton, one of his inner circle. I was rewarded with not only lovely accessible (to me) poems but their audio versions read by James Fenton himself :

I don't say I'm hooked or will seek out much more, but I am more open to new poetry than I was before.
