The Poetry of Wanderlust (Audiobook)
- +

Read by Ghizela Rowe, Gideon Wagner & Richard Mitchley (Unabridged: 2hrs 9mins)   

What’s in a word?  Apart from its value as a unit of information is there something more?  Of course.  Many words sound and express themselves, when rolled around the soul and mouth, as something both desirable, tangible and complete.  We submit that ‘Wanderlust’ has just such a feeling.

Most of us have an urge to journey, to take the body and mind on a journey that will sate our curiosity, build our experiences and memories and prepare ourselves for yet another.

Whether as a child journeying wide-eyed through a field, a teenager exploring hitherto forbidden zones or as adults embarking on journeys that may change our lives and relationships with new cultures, foods and sounds - it seems as if we just can’t get no satisfaction till the next far-off place.

In this volume of classic poetry our wordsmiths are our companions on journeys near and far.  They describe and create worlds that we can explore with them, word by word and line by line.

In the company of Keats, Wordsworth, Bronte, Whitman, Kipling and a wealth of others these journeys in verse will be like no other.
