Our Favorite this week is 22 minutes of bliss. Richard Armitage has brought his beautiful voice to the audiobook world once again in Classic Love Poems, including work by Regency favorites Keats, Byron, and Shelley. You can find this collection on Audible in the US and UK.
Here’s the full list of poems:
- “How do I love thee?” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- “Sonnet 116” by William Shakespeare
- “Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allan Poe
- “To Be One with Each Other” by George Eliot
- “Maud” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
- “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell
- “Bright Star” by John Keats
- “Love’s Philosophy” by Percy Bysshe Shelley
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
- “Meeting at Night” by Robert Browning

- “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love” by Christopher Marlowe
- “I carry your heart” by e. e. cummings
- “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron
- “Give All to Love” by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mr. Armitage is one of several men that could narrate a phonebook and enrapture hearts. It’s not fair he’s gone and read a bunch of love poems, that’s fighting dirty.

I second that! But if the man wants to fight dirty, I’m not going to stand in his way 😉
