Human Voices Wake Us

William Wordsworth: Immortality Ode, and 3 Other Poems


Listen Later

A reading of four poems by William Wordsworth:

  • Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood
  • London (1802): "Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour!"
  • St. Paul's
  • "It was an April morning: fresh and clear" (part 1 on "Poems on the Naming of Places"
  • I read these here tonight to celebrate the release of a Selected Poems of William Wordsworth that I put together, and was just published. Other small books of poems (Whitman, Tennyson, and Frost) in the same series can be found here. If you'd like to support this podcast, buying a handful of these books would be the easiest way to do it--they are all around 120 pages, and all priced at $3.99.

    If you can recommend a similar story about how anyone discovered their passion, and would like me to read from, email me at [email protected].

    Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to [email protected].

    I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at [email protected], and I will remove the episode immediately.
