Needs a more inspired performer.
This narrator droned on and provided a tedious performance like a stereotypically bad actor. it gave no insight or connection to the words.

Unbearable Narrator
There are some audio book and poem narrators who are good, some bad, some excellent. But the person who somehow got to narrate these John Donne poems must really be making fun of the content he was reading. I mean the way it sounds is like a parody of the worst British accent. Almost like Stewie from The Family Guy, except the Stewie voice could pass as a decent narrator depending on the content. The guy narrating this must be a failed comedian.
This is just unacceptable.

Not really sure
I'm not sure poetry really transfers to audio books as well as fiction. Can't really scan the work, or take much time to analyze it.

Nope.
It's hard to do poetry on audible. Poetry is rightly read aloud, but must be read well. Donne is wonderful, this narrator over inflects. I couldn't continue.
