With original works from Robert Graves, Elizabeth Jennings, Edith Sitwell, and C. Day-Lewis, this album provides an insight into the personality of each poet.

Dame Edith Sitwell explores themes of conflict in her poem “Heart and Mind,” and C. Day-Lewis’s work explores themes of nature. This album invites the audience to interact and relate to each poet’s personal work.
