Hy everyone, I know my comprehension goes way up when I can hear what I'm reading (which is why most of my useful annotations happen in class), so I've started regularly checking Project Gutenberg and Librivox for all of the lengthier poems we read. Sadly, I was unable to find a good (safe and free) MP3 for Wordsworth's Prelude, but I just found a fantastic recording via Project Gutenberg for Rime of the Ancient Mariner here.
Even though I've read the poem before (in high school), I find that I really absorb more and recall more later if I can hear another voice speak while I read. I find myself zoning out to longer poems when I just read aloud myself.

Thanks, Brooke. I'll be listening.
