Hear actual recordings of T.S. Eliot narrating his 1922 masterpiece “The Love Song of J.

Prufrock, as the name implies, is an indecisive wimp, whereas Marvel in his seduction poem, has his eye on the prize, and makes no bones about it.

Sarka and Oliver often make their parents fear that curiosity will harm more than a cat. For these twelve-year-old students, visiting the zoo seems closer to an expedition than a field trip. But while they expect to find lions, tigers, and bears, they don't expect those animals to break free, stranding them amid a zoo gone wild.
