  LibriVox volunteers bring you 13 recordings of Forgiveness by John Greenleaf Whittier. This was the Weekly Poetry project for June 2, 2013.What some of our readers thought..."The whole poem consists of just a single sentence, but a very complex one, loaded with both independent and subordinate clauses and participial phrases... Following his admirable example of gentle tolerance, I forgive his dangling participles." (Leonard Wilson);  "Kudos to the poet for writing about forgiveness and mortality in a graveyard without letting any gods elbow in!" (Jason Mills) (Summary by David Lawrence)

  Meditations in an Emergency

  Collected poems from one of the Twentieth Century's most influential voices. 
  Frank O’Hara was one of the great poets of the twentieth century and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as Denise Levertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, a crucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New American Poetry, “which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force in the American poetic tradition.” 
  Frank O’Hara was born in Baltimore in 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and worked in New York, both for Art News and for the Museum of Modern Art, where he was an associate curator. O’Hara’s untimely death in 1966 at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery, “the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwright was killed.”. 
  This collection is a reissue of a volume first published by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifully the flawless rhythm underlying O’Hara’s conviction that to write poetry, indeed to live, “you just go on your nerve.
