That's awesome to hear. This is my first collection so I really have no idea how it will go. Two things... First, if I stop posting readings here for a while, I probably have a cold and I'm finding those those take my reading voice out for several weeks. Second, if you find a favourite poem (or poems) in the collection, drop a comment and I'll give them a read when I can. Oh, and, if you feel it warrants it, leave a review on Amazon. Enjoy the reading Edward! Steve

Thanks Christine! Funny thing is, the last comment I received on my voice itself was that it wasn't well suited for poetry. But, I've improved a lot since then and I'm really enjoying doing it. Keep an eye on my channel if you enjoy my readings. I'm down with a head cold right now, but I try and do several readings a week.

Hey, thanks - it's always nice to hear your work is being enjoyed. I mean, I'd be happy to talk, but you might be disappointed. I'm just a fellow who scribbles his thoughts - if I have insights, they're usually coming out in the poems more than anything else. Also, every poem will have the words of them in the description. If you want to see more of my work, this playlist is all my stuff: ua-cam.com/video/Z-rB_9d7_Hw/v-deo.html And I'm releasing a collection of poems later this month if all goes well. Thanks for the comment. I enjoy writing, and I'm glad someone else enjoys it. If you want to talk about any poem, just comment and I'll tell you what you want to know.

Thanks. I'm pretty new at reading, so I never really know what works and what doesn't. It's always great to hear whether something worked - or when it didn't.

Yeah, I like that part too.

Thanks! It's always a bit worrying when you're trying to do one of the most famous poems in the English language...

Thank you so much Phoenix! Wasn't sure if either the poem, or the reading, would be to anyone's taste. Feel free to look around - I'm coming up on a hundred recordings now. And, if you think the work is good, feel free tell some friends!

That is so nice to hear - thank you! I will say, if you like that one, it's actually the second sonnet in a five sonnet sequence. I've created a playlist for that whole sequence. Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/Z4tuVAwiR6k/v-deo.html If you're interested in the inspiration for that, read the description. It's a response to some ideas from Friedrich Nietzsche, and I include a passage on there. Lastly, if you enjoyed, spread the word. I've only been at this recording thing for two months but I love it, and I think I'm improving. Would love to get more people checking out my work :) But, seriously, thanks. I've spent a long time writing with no feedback - that my work is reaching people is lovely to hear.

@@SJNB_GPP Thank you so much, I've been going on a little listening spree hahaha. I really, really love your style, every single one I've listened to has got me thinking and feeling - and I have already been sharing some of them with my mates haha. I was so shocked when I saw how few subscribers you have! Your writing is beautiful and I'm sure that eventually people will start finding you :)) please don't ever stop uploading, I can't wait to see what you'll write in the future :D

@@dracculent4061 Hey, I just wanted to thank you again. As a small time, obscure writer (and I guess now UA-camr) you're always wondering if anyone actually likes what you're doing. It means a lot to hear someone say "Yeah, this is great!" For your knowledge, I'm keeping what I consider to be my best work off of here - for now. I'm submitting it to journals and stuff, but eventually I'll get it all up here. Until then, I'll keep reading the poetry that made me love poetry - with the odd poem of mine up there. I wasn't planning on putting much of mine up this week, but I recorded one that I just wrote and put it up - it'll come up in about an hour. Not my best, but I hope you enjoy. Anyway, thanks again! Yeah, I wish my subscriber count was higher, but nobody owes me their time. I'll just have to convince them that stopping my Steve's Gravel Pit is a good way to spend a few minutes ;) Have a good day! - Steve

Thanks! I'm pretty new at this so I think I have a lot of room to improve, but it's great to hear that I'm hitting some positive notes. Personally, the O'Bedlam reading is my favourite of the ones I can find. ua-cam.com/video/HVdpfhsj6uI/v-deo.html

Oh hey, also... If you do enjoy what I'm doing here, sharing would be a huge help. Would love to get more ears on my material.

Hey thanks, love to hear it! I have two little kids so there will be days I don't, but I just blew a big chunk of money on a fancy microphone so my wife will kill me if I stop now. Keep checking back and I'll keep doing more readings! Also, I had an old buddy named Eddie Porter. Did you grow up on an orchard, by any chance?

Thanks Strider! I have a ton of room to improve but I'm getting quite pleased with some of my readings. Going to keep at it - it's such a fun way to engage with poems I've loved for years!

Thanks Joel! It's Prairie Crocus season here and I'm bringing my daughter up to the big park in the city to check them out each weekend until they're gone. I kind of have an attachment to these little wooly purple fellas ;)

Housman is 95% sad, bleak, or morbid, but at least this one has a bit of a dark and depraved sense of humour about it ;)

Maybe give Flower Pot a try? It's a positive one.

Hey, thanks. It's always quite nice to hear someone enjoys something you wrote.
