This is an archival recording and not your typical produced-in-a-studio audiobook. It’s an unpolished recording of Bly leading a course (imagine a college professor giving a lecture to his class). Bly interprets several of Yeats’ poems and provides some biography of Yeats along the way. It will be helpful if you have some grasp of both of those before listening. If not, it might be harder to follow.

Overall, I enjoyed the recording because of the poetry, Bly’s insights and philosophies, and of course the chanting. :)

3 stars for performance because the recording is rough and sometimes you can’t hear the class members’ questions and comments well.

4 stars for story because although it can be hard to follow at times, the poetry is fantastic.

A good experience, but not well-suited to audiobook format.
