This is the WBZ Book Club. I'm Jordan Rich. He's one of our most beloved and honored actors. I'm talking about John Lithgow, who explains in the preface to The Poet's Corner, The One and Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family, how he grew up with a gift of poetry, with his father and other relatives sharing rhyme and meeter. In Lithgow's book, which is ideal as an audiobook choice, he features a wide variety of poems, many of them classics from Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Dylan Thomas, to
name but a few. When hearing the voice of an acclaimed actor like John Lithgow, these poems really do come to life. And you can order a package that includes a multi media experience with a bonus MP three selection of other very famous voices reading poetry. Jody Foster, Helen Mirren, Gary Sonise, Susan Sarandon and Yes Morgan Freeman, John Lithgow. The Poet's Corner, The one and Only poetry Book for the whole Family. Worth a read and worth a listen.
And that's the Book Club. WZ, Boston's news radio
