It features eight great poets, with brief, accessible essays concerning their life and work and a selection of their poems, and it is accompanied by an 80-minute CD recorded live at the British Library: Ralph Fiennes reading Auden, Edward Fox reading Eliot, Roger Moore reading Kipling, Harold Pinter reading Larkin, and more. Whether you believe (like Robert Frost, who inspired the title) that poetry is a way of \"taking life by the throat\" or (like T. S. Eliot) that it \"is one person talking to another,\" nobody does it better than the poets featured in this book. For a novice discovering the rich heritage of English-language verse or a seasoned poetry reader, \u003cem\u003eCatching Life by the Throat\u003c\/em\u003e is an extraordinary introduction to eight iconic poets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josephine Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 039306607X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393066074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
