This Audible freebie had 15 poems, narrated by Richard Armitage. Most of the poems happened to be in my Kindle edition of "Bulchevy's Book of English Verse", so I could read along (and I did read some other poems not in the recording).

I don't think it's possible to describe listening to Richard Armitage read love poetry. It is simply sublime. I could listen to this every single day and not get tired of it.

Classic love poems you read in high school from Barrett-Browning, Browning, Poe, Emerson, Marlowe, Shakespeare, and others beautifully read by Richard Armitage. I enjoyed hearing the poems read aloud. I remembered them all from school.

This was a free-bee from Audible on Valentines Day, which was really amazing of them. It was also beyond amazing to listen to. Love poetry, by Richard Armitage, on Valentines. Thanks. Yes. My life was beautiful. And I got to hear some of my favorite love poetry on the right day. It was glorious.

15 love poems (most of which were contained in my Bulchevy's Book of English Verse). I particularly liked Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" and Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shephard to His Love".
