  For the past 25 years, New Hampshire’s Saint Anselm College has hosted a celebration of William Shakespeare’s birthday with period music, theatrical renditions, and public readings of all 154 of the bard's famously melancholic and romantic sonnets. Ryan Lessard brings us this audio postcard.

CORRECTION: The St. Anselm Shakespeare event takes place on April 23rd, not April 26th as we say in the piece.
