Recordings of poets’ works for playing on an iPod are available to the public through downloads on PennSound, an online audio archive developed by professors at the University of Pennsylvania. PennSound is like iTunes for poetry—but each poem is free.
English professor Charles Bernstein is the site’s co-director, and he told the Associated Press that PennSound is unprecedented—the “first and the biggest site of its kind.” Started more than two years ago, it has features about 200 writers and more than 10,000 recordings contributed by poets, fans and scholars worldwide and converted to digital format. Some, such as Gertrude Stein recordings from 1934, date back decades.
