Bunting Reads Briggflatts

In the introduction to the Complete Poems, Bunting is quoted as saying

Poetry, like music, is to be heard.  It deals in sound – long sounds and short sounds, heavy beats and light beats, the tone relations of vowels, the relations of consonants to one another. . .  Reading in silence is the source of half the misconceptions that have caused the public to distrust poetry.

Excellent advice,  but not all of us can read aloud in a robust Northumbrian accent, and with that in mind, I present an audio recording of Bunting reading Briggflatts.  There are also musical interludes between sections.
