It's performed excellently as you'd expect given the performers but they do not say the title of the poem before starting it. As is general the index is just "Chapter 1..." so you've no idea who wrote each poem or what it's called.

No poem titles either read or in contents.

Try as I might I could not find any titles or authors in the chapters for each poem. I have no idea what I’m listening to or who it’s by. Nor have I any idea which of the listed readers are reading it. I do not like actors who act and perform a poem instead of just reading it and would wish to avoid those readings. All I can do is jump a track to another unknown.
