Bly tells there is incredible power in the voice - in a poetry reading the voice is a tangible thing that vibrates and radiates into the body of the listener.
Note: The inherent difficulties of live recordings and the age of some of the recordings can cause variations in the sound quality.
ROBERT BLY: A 20th century minstrel, Bly has written poetry all his life and has received a National Book Award for his poems. Goethe said, "The most beautiful instrument in the whole world is the human voice." Bly reminds us the human voice has power, and in a poetry reading the voice is a tangible thing that vibrates and radiates into the body of the listener.
