One long chapter
Would have been so good if each chapter was a poem. But no it is all one long chapter. Not good. You can't go directly to the poem you want to listen to.

Great poems but very poor format
The problem with this audiobook is that it's impossible to locate individual poems - it's just one 3-and-a-half hour track. There's no contents list either. I ended up going to a bookshop and copying down the index from the back pages of the paperback. That said, the poems are beautifully read by top actors and it's a good selection.
