That's an amazing site. There are poems by some of my favorite modern German-language poets! And it's a chance to hear poetry in all sorts of languages I'd never hear otherwise. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's fantastic. I listened to Ismail Kadare read a poem in brisk Albanian and then Gennady Aygi (a Chuvash poet) read one in languorous, uvular Russian, both sounding completely unexpected and compellinig. Thanks very much for this post.

Thanks for this fantastic link. I had been wanting access to contemporary German poets whose work may not even have been published in anything I could find.

This is great! Really wonderful site. What a fantastic chance to hear 'the poet's rhythm' as it applies to so many different languages. Many thanks!
