There's nothing like hearing Dylan Thomas "rage against the dying of the light," or Sylvia Plath intone "The Stones" or Gwendolyn Brooks dicate "We Real Cool." At the Academy of American Poets' Listening Booth page, you'll find RealAudio clips of these and many other U.S. writers reading their own masterworks. Some of the recordings are a bit fuzzy (they were made, after all, in the early twentieth century), but for poetry buffs, this is is an amazing treasure trove.
