For those of you (like myself) for whom being read to is like being a kitten licked by a mama cat, I’m sure you’ve had your share of audiobooks. I can highly suggest George Guidell (great readings of Kafka and Joyce) and others were I pressed to.
But for deeper pleasures, I want to encourage anyone who has not yet done so to visit PennSound. http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/ An amazing resource, an unmatched resource. From Jack Spicer to Gertrude Stein to my all-time favorite reader on the site, George Oppen.
The folks behind this project are not just to be thanked but to be licked back. N.B. For Spicer, I do not encourage you to listen to the lectures. The Gizzi transcript does them more justice by my estimation. Listen instead to the poems. Or at least, start with the poems.
