101 Early Wallace Stevens Poems on Free  Audio
Here's a quick little find for the poetry lover: A slew of early  poems by 
Wallace Stevens, the great American poet, can now be downloaded as  podcasts 
(_iTunes_ 
(http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=216329492) ).  They include many classics -- Anecdote of the Jar, The Emperor of 
Ice  Cream, Peter Quince at the Clavier, Sunday Morning, Thirteen Ways of 
Looking  at a Blackbird, and many others. Recorded for _LibriVox_ 
(http://librivox.org/newcatalog/)  by Alan Drake, all poems  are in the public domain.
Speaking of Wallace Stevens, you may want to give  a listen to a podcast that 
we highlighted here once before. It features the  great literary critic 
Harold Bloom (see _bio_ 
(http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/preserving-public-domain-books.html) )  teaching a seminar at Yale on "The Art of Reading a Poem" 
(_iTunes_ 
(http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=200065355&s=143441&i=13390559)   - _mp3_ 
(http://streaming.yale.edu/opa/podcasts/audio/schools/faculty_arts_sciences/FAS_bloom_20060907.mp3) ).  Here, Bloom 
takes his students through a poem by Wallace Stevens, Parts of  a World, and 
moves between interpretation and intriguing personal  anecdotes. If you want to 
hear a master at work, give a good  listen.
