Paul Rhys, Judi Dench, Michael Williams, and Charlotte Attenborough belt out some of the best love poetry around. Feast your ears on inspired renditions of all the usual suspects--Milton, Donne, Shakespeare, Rossetti, Browning, Herbert, Blake, and dozens more--plus a refreshing array of contemporary poets like Roger McGough, Carol Anne Duffy, and John Fuller, who confesses in "Valentine,"

I'd like to button up your shirt.
I like the way your chest inflates.
I'd like to soothe you when you're hurt
or frightened senseless by invertebrates...
