Please visit today's morning
poem, a byproduct of this page.
Each week's poems are chosen to
comprise a short program that is both entertaining and
historically important. The English Lyrical Poetry Series
on CD (click above, CD Store) are collections of about eight
such programs on each disk.
The third major page of this
website, Index of Poets, is an
alphabetical listing of all of the poet pages represented on
Eaglesweb.com (in use now by teachers and students alike as a
resource), and is updated each morning by 0600 GMT.
The purpose of this multi-year
project is to present, not an academic anthology claiming to be
a 'balanced presentation' - rather, to make available a total of
2,002 lyrical audio poems in Modern English (from the period
1460-2003): twice as many as the Arabian Nights stories, and
also a signal of the year in which the project began, for the
enjoyment and perhaps the edification of the people of the
planet Earth linked by the World Wide Web. The project will
encompass about 30 full CDs by its completion on May 1, 2006, if
God grant me that time.
