Slashdot Poetry Reading

March, 2006



These are the readings submitted for the March 2006 Slashdot Poetry Reading. Poems are identified by common title and author, except where that would give away the identity of the reader. They are arranged in a somewhat random order. Identifying information has been removed from the MP3 tags. Multiple poems read by the same person are not necessarily adjacent.
So, guess away! The names of the readers will be posted three days after the original journal entry.

Sincere thanks to all who submitted readings for this project. It has been a very interesting experience.

Note: The volume levels vary widely, so be prepared to adjust your volume.
