"This is Tom Hiddleston  – recording poetry for you on Ximalaya.
For thousand of years men and women have tried to condense the experience of being alive into words designed to be read, sung and listened to. This form of profound expression is commonly referred to as poetry.  A poem may mean many different things to many different people. Each individual’s interpretation will depend upon their frame of mind and their experience - how the words make them think or feel. It is timeless, but also of its time and place. Poetry has spanned centuries to inspire and delight, to connect people across time and space, in a shared understanding of the same truths.

Today for Ximalaya FM this is Tom Hiddleston with a selection of 12 poems – by English, American, Scottish, Welsh and Chilean poets. Some are short, some are long, some are written to rhyme, others not, some were penned more than 100 years apart, but each touches on universal themes in life."
