Recitation: The Wife's Lament

I hadn't realized before how many difficult-to-pronounce words there were in the beginning of "The Wife's Lament." A few of my students chose to brave that text anyway, and here's one of them: Nina McNamera with the opening of "The Wife's Lament."



OK, yes, she may be reading it, but I choose to believe she's reciting from memory and just looking at herself on the monitor.

    Arrrg...it's McNamara, not McNamera. Don't worry, that happens all the time. (That's part of the reason why I don't go by my married name online.)

    And it's the last twenty lines, not the opening.
