About the work

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

LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Five Senses by Arthur Macy. This was the Weekly Poetry project for February 14, 2016. Read in English by Brian Darby; David Lawrence; Newgatenovelist; Joe Brenneman; Jennifer Fournier; Greg Giordano; Lee Ann Howlett; Matthew Duran and Maria Kasper. Arthur Macy was a Nantucket boy of Quaker extraction. His name alone is evidence of this, for it is safe to say that a Macy, wherever found in the United States, is descended from that sturdy old Quaker who was one of those who bought Nantucket from the Indians, paid them fairly for it, treated them with justice, and lived on friendly terms with them. In many ways Arthur Macy showed that he was a Nantucketer and, at least by descent, a Quaker. He often used phrases peculiar to our island in the sea, and was given, in conversation at least, to similes which smacked of salt water. Almost the last time I saw him he said, "I'm coming round soon for a good long gam." Arthur Macy's view of life was certainly broad and generous, with a philosophic flavor. (from the Introduction (by William Alfred Hovey) to POEMS BY ARTHUR MACY (1905))
