Description
Great poetry read aloud by great actors.
‘Poetry, this trinity of sound, sense and sensibility, gives voice to experience in the way that no other art form can’ Josephine Hart
The Josephine Hart Poetry Foundation has developed a free app, allowing users to read their favourite poetry collections alongside performances and narrations by great actors.
The Poetry Hour app was originally designed for the late author and poetry enthusiast, Josephine Hart. It is now being constantly updated to ensure that all the readings surrounding her infamous Poetry Hours will be available to view.
The Poetry Hour app will draw you into a parallel universe of over one hundred poems from sixteen of the greatest poets of all time. The poetry is accompanied by video and audio narrations from over thirty world-class actors and performers.
The Poetry Hour app was designed for students, teachers, poetry lovers and poetry novices – everyone should be given the chance to enjoy great poetry read aloud.
Read introductions and essays for each poet, beautifully written by Josephine Hart. Her knowledge of poetry and passion for verse makes this feature an ideal educational tool for anyone and everyone wanting to dive into the enchanting world of poetry.
Are you a poet? Do you fancy creating your own poetry? Write poems, save them into your very own library, and share your creations with your friends. If you get stuck along the way, The Poetry Hour app can supply you with inspirational words from all your favourite poets.

THANK YOU!
Ouch!
Do you know how painful it is to have all of your poems deleted! What did you guys do! Granted it is updated but really that hurts!
Way to go.....
You realize that auto updates are a thing. Your little "please note" is worthless when my phone updates my apps automatically. Ive lost all my work. Thanks. Deleting this app asap.
So disappointed
This app sounded so great to me--was really excited to hear great actors reading classic poetry. Too bad the app crashes every time I try to play a poem. : (
Video and audio portion doesnt seem to work.
I was looking forward to the narrated and performed by part of this app. Unfortunately it just sits at the buffering stage and never loads. :( Im using iOS 8 on an iPhone 6.
Sadness and tears
After the latest update the app wont work. It loads and then when I try to tap any category - "Explore poems" or "Actors" etc - it just sends me back to the home screen. It is so frustrating, because I loved to read poems via this app and now I cant!
A well conceived application
This is a great addition to my App Library as a poetry enthusiast! Its a must recommend to all fans of poetry.
