Voices of Poets Saved in Online Archive

A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

Historic recordings of Robert Browning and Alfred Tennyson reading their own poems feature in an online archive launched on Wednesday that aims to preserve the voices of contemporary English-language poets.

The Poetry Archive, under development since 1999, is the brainchild of British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and Richard Carrington, a recording engineer specializing in the spoken word.
