Audio Poetry - Boland

Miss Brightside

Dia daoibh
I'm doing Eavan Boland for English and I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find some audio readings of her poetry? Not necessarily her reading them, I just find it easier to familiarise myself with the poems when I can listen to them over and over! I found the poems from all my other poets on Youtube and a few other sites, but can't seem to find Boland's anywhere

The poems I'm doing are:
Child of our Time
War Horse
Famine Road
This Moment
The Black Lace Fan my Mother Gave Me
Love

Thank you!

I don't know where you'll get recordings of her poems but if you can't find them, record yourself reading the poems.

I agree with NotExactly. Even by reading them out onto a microphone/computer/whathaveyou will help you get the poems into your head.
I do it for my German oral material and my teacher reading out poetry essays and it really helps. I put it all on my iPod and when you're wrecked, it's easy to put on the stuff, lie in bed and listen. It makes you feel like you're abandoning your music though :rolleyes:

Think I will have to resort to that, although I do hate listening to my voice in recordings! Thanks anyways

I've done the same with all the rest of the poetry, I've listened to them so much I can almost speak along with every one!
