Although many high-brow poets thought McKuen a bit too mawkish and kitschy, I very much enjoyed reading this volume of poetry and look forward to the next (both were in my parents' library). Although it has been said Listen to the Warm was written for the 60s, I found the poems just as relevant today. Particularly apropos is The Days of Dancing where he writes "These are the days of dancing--six feet apart." ( )

The poet's second "collection" of original love poems and songs. Phyllis Diller encouraged Rod to perform at the Purple Onion after he returned from WWII service in Japan and Korea as a psychological warfare script writer.

Includes one song lyric I really like:

THE WORLD I USED TO KNOW
Someday some old familiar rain
will come along and know my name.
And then my shelter will be gone
and I'll have to move along.
But till I do I'll stay awhile
and track the hidden country of your smile.

Someday the man I used to be
will come along and call on me.
And then because I'm just a man
you'll find my feet are made of sand.
But till that time I'll tell you lies
and chart the hidden boundaries of your eyes.

Sometday the world I used to know
will come along and bid me go.
Then I'll be leavin' you behind
for love is just a state of mind.
But till that day I'll be your man
and love away your troubles if I can. ( )

My first McKuen book. He was quite a phenomenon at the time. I had never read anything like it - a kind of stream of consciousness poetry that seemed so deep and enthralling at 17. ( )

Listen to the Warm is an album of Rod McKuen's poems and songs released in tandem with a book of the same name. McKuen recites the poem "A Cat Named Sloopy" over an orchestral bed that quotes bits of the melody from "A Man Alone," and "Round, Round, Round" is a hushed mixture of spoken word and song set to a soft waltz that summons childhood memories of merry-go-rounds and calliopes. "Listen to the Warm" is the most famous song in the bunch, having been recorded by Glenn Yarbrough. McKuen later incorporated the title of the poem "The Ducks on the Millpond" into the song "Kaleidoscope," and that isn't the only example of lines and ideas from poems on Listen to the Warm that later cropped up in his songs. The spoken word content shares much in common with the reflective, melancholy recitations from pop music (Jimmy Dean's "To a Sleeping Beauty," for example), and McKuen's conversational style is easily accessible (as his tremendous success as a poet proves). Listen to the Warm addresses his familiar topics -- cats, loss, loneliness, the seasons, and small pleasures -- creating a quiet and contemplative mood album for listeners predisposed to his unique style.
