i would have thought the number one product anyone would want would include text and audio.
i am not a great poetry lover, but the difference between reading the words and listening to the the author reading his works [ie dylan thomas] is enormous....
of course if the author doesnt care to speak the words, there are are a great many versatile actors who would do a fine recitation.
i dont see why poetry cd's shouldnt be something a shop like waterstones could have on their shelves.....they sell audio-books as it is.
i would think a lot of people who are busy and dont have a lot of time to read..would love to be able to put on a cd of poetry, while the have to do some mundane chores at home.
does anyone agree?

I guess poetry has not taken off as a purely audio experience yet. Most people still equate poetry with reading. Others are used to actually seeing the poetry read by the author as part of a performance. Sometime (depending on the piece), how the piece is read is as important as what is read (the performance is the best part)

I agree! I am selling my poetry on CD. I love to read but sometimes I just don't have the time!

Humans find it easier to read material on a hard copy (i.e. paper).
