Warning: the readers do not announce who the poet is nor the poem’s title before reading

It is a solid reading from all the readers BUT guys who are you reading and what poem is it?
Very frustrating especially since the chapters are vague just romanticism period, then second is Victorian and third war period … no sign of whom and what pieces are being read….some are obvious like Blake and Yeats but others like Wordsworth and Coleridge and Shelley it its harder to tell and guess just by general knowledge of the author alone
