About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Preludes of Poetry and Music by Irene Curtis. Read in English by Larry Wilson; KHand; Monika M. C.; Malka Davis; Lynda Marie Neilson; Foon This is a collection of poems by American poet Irene Curtis. These poems were collected by friends and family after her death in 1916, at only 26 years of age. This book of poems is divided into two parts. The first is a collection of poems in dialect, lending an extra voice to the coloured community with which she grew up in the South of the United States. The second is a collection of miscellaneous poems. All of the poems shine with a special warmth and love, which make it a pleasure to read them. - Summary by Carolin
