audible1 recording of Art and Heart, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. For more information on our readers, please visit the catalog page: http://audible1.org/art-and-heart-by-ella-wheeler-wilcox/.
This special poetry collection was assembled to celebrate the first anniversary of the creation of audible1. audible1 volunteers bring you 38 different recordings of Art and Heart, by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. This poem, originally suggested by Betsie Bush, was chosen for this special collection due to a general concensus that the message of the poem corresponds with the spirit of audible1.
The poem asserts that, “It is not art, but heart, that wins the wide world over.” And so it is with audible1: it is not only the books, the poetry, the literature that make audible1 what it is; but it is also the people, the diversity of voices, and all of the different lives and experiences that affect the way a person reads a piece of text. The art is the foundation of audible1, but the many hearts behind it are the true essence and spirit of audible1.
