As promised, and coming straight to you from my bedroom, here is a whirling and needy journey through the sonic cosmos of sexual desire and romantic love. Stick with me, this one’s a long and surprising one.
The (mostly erotic) poems you hear all come from the exhaustive “World Poetry: An Anthology of Verse From Antiquity to Our Time” edited by Katharine Washburn, John S. Major, and Clifton Fadiman,
Underneath my voice you hear Monsieur de Saint Colombe and his Works for 2 Bass Viols.
