Description

I’m in love with poetry and with the delight and depth it brings to our lives.  Setting poems to music has occupied me happily for the last 20 years or so and this collection is the fruit of that labor.  The poems themselves stand alone – magnificent and complete just as they are.  Songs of the Poets is in essence my passionate response to several poems that I love.  I hope it will help you connect with these poems with deeper appreciation and enjoyment – and perhaps spur you to a passionate response of your own!
