Poetry Love, the Irish Audio Edition

By the time this actually gets posted, St. Patrick's Day will have slid on past. I'd a big ol' post planned for the occasion...but it got eaten by the computer. *shakes fist* [Though, considering last night's bit of wordiness, it's prolly a mercy. :)] Still, I couldn't let the day pass without posting some poetry. And today we have the bonus of

I was so going to post some U2 tonight and other things I have..but I didn't, so you know I love this post!!

Just to keep it going, one certain Scot's family is of Irish Decent..but he's Scottish through and through. *smile*

Did you listen to the track? Holy Fishbiscuits! I whimpered on the first listen.

And who says you can't post some U2 anyway? *looks hopeful*

[I don't think you need worry about 'keeping it going' - your momentum is quite solid. ♥!]

well that's just freakin awesome. Remind me to download this manana. Or don't cause it's rude to even ask that - I'll remember.

*laughs*
*a lot*

It's poetry - you honestly think I *won't* poke at you after you've shown interest?

And HI! How are you?

Hello again. :)

Ooh, I've not heard any of these, so I plan on snagging every single one. What a treat! Thank you so much sharing and thank you as well for mentioning this post in your comment earlier.

Hi there. :)

You're very welcome; it's a pleasure bumping into someone else Out Here who appreciates spoken word tracks. The mutual enabling makes me very happy.

The 'Voices and Poetry of Ireland' collection is quite marvelous overall. I'd love to get my hands on the original project with its 3 CD set.

Anyway...enjoy!

Uhm... Hi. *waves tentatively*
I nicked 'God's Laughter' and 'The Ballad of Reading Goal'. Hope you don't mind.

And in return: American David.
Since you asked for more poetry read by His Bononess. You've probably already heard that one, but if you haven't, check it out.

Hi hon!

The links are meant to be nicked, so of course I don't mind. I'd say 'enjoy', but that's kind of a given, eh? :)

Oh, I hadn't run across 'American David'! *squees* Thank you for the link. It seems redundant or obvious somehow to say so, but GEEZ O PETE that man has the *best* sense of poetic cadences. My poetic fangirl is all a-flutter. [The U2 fangirl in me is watching the poetry fangirl with more that a little exasperation... because DUH! Bono! *laughs*]

ANYWAY...thank you for the mutual enablement. :D

[clandestine269]

Okay, I nicked the rest of them too. Can't resist a good poetry reading.

Excellent! I hope you enjoy Heaney. My Poetry Boyfriend is truly amazing.

[Granted, I'm all biased...]

I'm quite willing to beg for a re-upload of God's Laughter. Brendan Kennelly is...well, amazing doesn't begin to describe it. Pleaseplease.
