Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Alexander Neubauer’s narration is both warm and insightful, perfectly capturing the essence of each conversation. His tone shifts effortlessly from playful to solemn, matching the mood of Clifton and her guests with remarkable precision. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, ensuring that even a listener unfamiliar with poetry will find themselves drawn into these intimate exchanges. However, some segments feel slightly underdeveloped, lacking the depth they could have had. Despite this minor critique, ‘Poetry in Person’ remains a compelling listen for anyone interested in exploring the rich landscape of American poetry.
