Good but having subtitle would be better.
I appreciate this high quality poetry DVD of Robert Frost. The readings by the First Poetry Quartet and the Fall scenery of New England are great.
But for a non-native English speaker like myself, it would be better if the DVD can have a sub-title function to print out the words of the poems on screen if one chooses to use this function so one can follow the poems more readily. Also, it would be great if the DVD would have the title of the poems on screen rather than just listing them on the DVD cover. I hope the production company of these series can take my suggestion into consideration in making future products in this good poetry series.

Robert Frost Poetry in Context
This video is pure poetry surrounded by New England in autumn. If you enjoy hearing poetry and like Robert Frost at all, this is a good investment. The readings are not the best I have heard, but the poetry is delivered well and the background is wonderful.
