British / American poetry appreciation
Do native poetry enthusiast pay attention to British vs. American pronunciation when enjoying poetry?
As I understand, there could be differences in rhythm and rhyme depending on the given accent, which could affect the "exterior quality" of a piece of poetry. The question came to me in connection with poetry translation to English, but I would generally find it interesting to know whether native speakers actually consider the nationality of the poet before reading his/her works, or find it irrelevant.
(I mean, I'm not sure I would want to listen to a Robert Burns poem in an Australian accent :D )

I always hear a poem in my inner voice, which is always superior even to the poet's own reading.
