About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 6 recordings of For A Grotto by Mark Akenside. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for March 22, 2026. Mark Akenside was an English poet and physician. Akenside's verse was better when it was subjected to more severe metrical rules. His odes are rarely lyrical in the strict sense, but they are dignified and often musical. By 1911 his works were little read. Edmund Gosse described him as "a sort of frozen Keats". - Summary by Wikipedia
