This article focuses on how poetry is winning a popular audience in the U.S. Poetry recordings are flourishing too. Norton, a leading publisher of poetry books, is breaking into the out-loud market, packaging books with tapes or CDs. While Caedmon, a spoken-word publisher, has sold recorded poetry to a small group of aficionados since the fifties, Norton is the first to put poetry books and recordings together. African-American and Latino poets have moved mostly in separate spheres, working in their own communities, reading at schools, settlement houses and local clubs that White people don't frequent.
