    Lovely reading. So rich and beautifully articulated. My one quibble is the metronomic adherence to pausing at the end of each and every line. That's the poet's structure. But sometimes, another approach might be to read the entire sentence as if one were speaking more conversationally. One could argue, but then why didn't Elizabeth Bishop just write the frequently used long phrases as very long lines. Perhaps, because it destroys the look of the page. I make an analogy to Bach's St Matthew Passion. A loud chord punctuates a section of homophonous sounds. Looking at the score we can see that JS Bach created a fascinating graphic with the page--it's very center now is a cross. We can visualize the crucifixion. Sort of an inside reference the conductor will appreciate. But the listener needn't know that. And the conductor would be hard pressed to figure out a way the listeners will get the "sight-gag." (ok, not really to the very devout Bach). But here, I think the talented Ms. Carter might look at other Bishop poems, say about nature and the fish, and realize that avoiding being hidebound by the visual appearance of the poem allows the thoughts to breathe all the more. I love the lovely British diction. But Bishop is an American poet. And I submit a different use of cadences might capture those Ms Bishop might have used. That said, I'm no Helena Bonham Carter. There's only one of her!

    I love this, though I wish they would drop the music, I want to listen to the poems and the voices with no distractions. Also, if they could pause for two or three seconds after each poem so one can contemplate it just a bit before immediately jumping to the narrator that would be nice too. As it is, the immediate shift from the last word of the poem to the narrator talking is jarring. They dropped the music for the penultimate and last poems and that was perfect.
