Listen! Poets in their own words

with thanks to Poetry Forum member Vodka Naidu (colinbennett) for pointing out the link:
The BBC has put some of its very rich archives of recorded poetry on the Net for our ears, and our eyes -- and we think you’ll want to spend some serious time exploring these:

• Poetry Out Loud
  A collection of audio recordings of poets performing their own work, from Seamus Heaney (“Bogland”) to Derek Walcott (“Homecoming: Anse la Raye”) & W.H. Auden (“After Reading a Child’s Guide to Modern Physics”) to Sylvia Plath (“Lady Lazarus”).
  
  
• Poetry on Display
  “A showcase of visual poetry” -- animations, poem-movies, some interactive & some just to watch unfolding on your screen.
  
  
• BBCFour interviews with poets
  A library where you can listen to some of the most influential & beloved poets of the last 100 years talking about their lives & their poems: W.B. Yeats, Dylan Thomas, Ezra Pound, e.e. cummings....
