Multilingual Poetry Collection 020

Poetry loses something in translation - and gains something else in this collection. Here, poems breathe in their original languages: the liquid vowels of French, the muscular consonants of German, the cascading syllables of Spanish. These aren't polished studio performances. They're intimate readings by LibriVox volunteers who love these poems enough to share them. From Baudelaire to Rilke, from Lorca to Verlaine, the collection spans movements and centuries, each reader bringing their own accent, their own rhythm. The real treasure is listening closely enough to hear how verse sounds in its native tongue - the music that lives beneath the meaning. A rare chance to hear poetry the way it was first heard.
