The concept is simple: A book/CD package in which Hollywood actors and directors select and read poems that have influenced and inspired them. The match-ups are impressive: John Lithgrow reads W. B. Yeats; Lili Taylor recites Robert Frost's beloved "The Road Not Taken"; Mary Louise Parker brings to life Mark Strand's capsule classic "Keeping Things Whole"; and Michael O'Keefe re-creates Ezra Pound's imagist still life "In a Station at the Metro." Other contributors include Diane Keaton, Steve Buscemi, Peter Bogdanovich, Joanne Woodward, and Kyra Sedgwick.

I pretty good collection of poems, but the layout left much to be desired. The contributing actors who I recognized weren't the ones who gave explanations of why the read the poems. I also didn't really like the readings on the audio CD. A disappointment.
