Am I right in thinking that not all the poems are actually read out loud or
are there buttons or graphics JAWS 6.2 can't see?

Using JAWS 7.0 and IE 6.0 I had no problems. Pressed enter on a graphical
link with alt text which was name of the poem I wanted to hear which opened
a new browser window. Then pressed enter on a link which said "Watch the
video" which brought up real player.
