This week’s Poetry Aloud is a reading of an excerpt from my book-length poem in progress, The Twelve-Gated City (© Anthony M. Esolen). Today’s selection, “The Second Gate,” is the second of the poem’s twelve verse narratives.

Poetry Aloud will help you learn how to read poetry with your ears. Unlike children with bad table manners, poetry is meant to be heard and not just seen. Join Anthony Esolen every other week (or so) as he introduces and discusses a longish poem and then reads it aloud.
