I love her, she's is beautiful, that look at the end, wow... She makes me feel good somehow, its her voice, her looks, her energy. the way she dresses, she has an original and rare personality. I wish she would do more fantasy films again, pity herself and Tim split up.
more of this please! Can we get like a entire reading of each poem. Set up a gofundme or something so we can pay HBC and Allie Esiri. I am dead serious :) lol
Lovely reading. So rich and beautifully articulated. My one quibble is the metronomic adherence to pausing at the end of each and every line. That's the poet's structure. But sometimes, another approach might be to read the entire sentence as if one were speaking more conversationally. One could argue, but then why didn't Elizabeth Bishop just write the frequently used long phrases as very long lines. Perhaps, because it destroys the look of the page. I make an analogy to Bach's St Matthew Passion. A loud chord punctuates a section of homophonous sounds. Looking at the score we can see that JS Bach created a fascinating graphic with the page--it's very center now is a cross. We can visualize the crucifixion. Sort of an inside reference the conductor will appreciate. But the listener needn't know that. And the conductor would be hard pressed to figure out a way the listeners will get the "sight-gag." (ok, not really to the very devout Bach). But here, I think the talented Ms. Carter might look at other Bishop poems, say about nature and the fish, and realize that avoiding being hidebound by the visual appearance of the poem allows the thoughts to breathe all the more. I love the lovely British diction. But Bishop is an American poet. And I submit a different use of cadences might capture those Ms Bishop might have used. That said, I'm no Helena Bonham Carter. There's only one of her!
I'm conflicted...HBC didn't read it as a poem, enunciating properly and milking the writers intent for all she could. Instead, she leaned, her hand supporting her chin, muffling her words, occasionally pushing her glasses back up the beautiful bridge of her nose. Am I supposed to like this? Maybe I will watch it a few more times, just to make sure.
I could listen to her speak forever

I could listen to her read for hours, her voice is so soothing!
They should ask her to do this more often.
