I'm not very familiar with poetry either Kallie but Damien's readings are just dreamy. I can't pretend to always understand the poetry but it sounds lovely when Damien is reading it! I think poetry is 'better' when read aloud __________________

Definitely, especially with feeling. Hopefully will stay awake long enough to hear them all... I usually have trouble sleeping but Damien makes me so relaxed when reading Raven, I still have yet to get to CD2 without falling asleep... __________________ Good Hal? Bad Hal? Really don't mind....

I can't believe you still haven't heard all of Raven yet! Maybe you'll have to listen during the day with strong coffee! __________________
