The Voices of Marriage: Great Marriage Poems
Includes poems by William Shakespeare, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Kahlil Gibran, Ogden Nash and more
Read by Boyd Gaines, Daniel Gerroll, Robert MacNeil, Nicole Orth-Pallavicini, Simon Prebble, Ally Sheedy, Elizabeth Swain
In a way, it’s a mystery that this has not been done before, this marriage of love and poetry, consummated in a glorious audiobook (pun intended). Whether it is “Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds” read in measured yet sensitive tones by Simon Prebble, or “You Were Born Together” from The Prophet read by an encouraging Nicole Orthe-Pallavicini, every librarian who has ever been asked for inspiration by an eager couple should be able to lay her hands on this audio with its accompanying slim volume of poetry. Yet, don’t think that the 42 poems are all serious injunctions or pronouncements, or lengthy verses that may be too long for an outside wedding. For example, take this couplet from Ogden Nash that could easily be adapted into a toast:
To keep your marriage brimming with love in the loving cup
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it. Whenever you’re right, shut up.
The Voices of Love: Great Love Poems
Includes poems by Christina Rosetti, William Shakespeare, e.e. cummings, Robert Burns, Emily Dickinson, and The Old Testament
Read by Dann Bittner, Boyd Gaines, Daniel Gerroll, Robert MacNeil, Molly McCann, Nicole Orth-Pallavicini, Simon Prebble, Ally Sheedy, Elizabeth Swain, Michael Wager
Love has moved virtually every poet to pen, because love seems to require poetry or music as its expression. As in its sister volume above, accomplished readers are perfectly matched with the poems they read. Elizabeth Swain’s rendition of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee?” gives the familiar words additional depth as she gives them voice. Dan Bittner and Molly McCann present a potted balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet that feels fresh and tremulous, a sparkling diamond among the many pearls. Again, poems both lengthy and pithy are included, celebrating both love gained and lost, as this poem from Muriel Rukeyser intimates in “Then:”
When I am dead, even then,
I will still love you, I will wait in these poems.
When I am dead, even then
I am still listening to you.
I will still be making poems for you
Out of silence;
Silence will be falling into that silence,
it is building music.
My Boyfriend’s Back: True Stories of Rediscovering Love with a Long-Lost Sweetheart
(subtitle discrepancy)
By Donna Hanover
Read by the author
The only thing better than first love is love recaptured, according to Donna Hanover and the many couples whose stories she shares in this engaging audiobook (pun intended, again). Her own story of reuniting with her high school sweetheart thirty years later necessarily takes centerstage and she intimates enough of her interim life to set the stage nicely. First lady of New York, broadcast journalist, actor—these had not been empty years. Yet, when Ed calls one month after her divorce is final, she is immediately transported back and feelings that had been put into suspended animation leapt to life again. Among the other tales she recounts are those of Carol Channing, Nicole Miller and even Suzanne Pleshette and Tom Poston. Who knew? Hanover’s performance is straightforward, knowing that the sentiment of the stories need no additional adornment.
