Star radio storyteller David Sedaris presents his collected works in one audio box set. The longest (at five hours) is his latest, Me Talk Pretty One Day, which contains two live performances from San Francisco. Welcome to a world where dogs outrank children, guitars have breasts, and Sedaris's fellow language-class students try to convey the concept of Easter to a Moroccan Muslim in their fledgling French (translated into English): "It is a party for the little boy of God," says one. "

A fine compilation of Caedmon's extensive backlist of twentieth-century poets reading their work. Many are familiar selections; all are significant recordings--Eliot reading THE WASTELAND, Thomas reading FERN HILL and DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT rare recordings by Yeats, Pound, Plath, Neruda.  Williams, Cummings, Brodsky, Frost, Walcott, Moore, and Spender follow one another, a beguiling and playful sequence of accents and styles that minimizes historical differences and heightens the uniqueness of each poet.  These 44 poems are, if not all the best of the last century, easily as great as or greater than any 44 others anyone could assemble. Together they comprise a treasure, a constant surprise and revelation, and an unparalleled listening experience.
