I saw this on the criterion channel sub, and thought it would be interesting for authors too.
For example, I’d resurrect John Keats and have him read “The Auroras of Autumn” by Wallace Stevens. Or anything of Stevens
I’d also resurrect Wallace Stevens and have him read “Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror” by John Ashbery.
And Virgil so he could read The Divine Comedy
And Emily Dickinson so she could read “A Cold Spring” by Elizabeth Bishop
