About the work

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

LibriVox volunteers bring you 6 recordings of Song of the Sewing-Machine by George Pope Morris. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for July 31, 2016. Read in English by Bruce Kachuk; Chris Vergaray; Leonard Wilson; Maria Kasper; Matthew Datcher and NoelBadrian. George Pope Morris was an American editor, poet, and songwriter. Critic and writer Edgar Allan Poe acknowledged the popularity of Morris's songs, "which have taken fast hold upon the popular taste, and which are deservedly celebrated". In April 1840, Poe wrote that Morris was "very decidedly, our best writer of songs—and, in saying this, I mean to assign him a high rank as poet". Willis wrote of Morris: "He is just what poets would be if they sang like birds without criticism... nothing can stop a song of his". (Wikipedia)
