Title: Aimless Love Subtitle: A Selection of Poems Author: Billy Collins Narrator: Billy Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE: Includes five additional poems only available on the digital download. "Billy Collins puts the 'fun' back in 'profundity.' " --Alice Fulton From the two-term Poet Laureate of the United States Billy Collins comes his first compilation of new and selected poems in 12 years. Aimless Love combines new poems with selections from four previous books - Nine Horses, The Trouble with Poetry, Ballistics, and Horoscopes for the Dead. Collins's unmistakable voice, which brings together plain speech with imaginative surprise, is clearly heard with every word, reminding us how he has managed to enrich the tapestry of contemporary poetry and greatly expand its audience. His work is featured in top literary magazines such as The New Yorker, Poetry, and The Atlantic, and he sells out reading venues all across the country. Appearing regularly in The Best American Poetry series, his poems appeal to readers and live audiences far and wide and have been translated into more than a dozen languages. By turns playful, ironic, and serious, Collins's poetry captures the nuances of everyday life while leading the reader into zones of inspired wonder. In the poet's own words, he hopes that his poems "begin in Kansas and end in Oz." Touching on the themes of love, loss, joy, and poetry itself, these poems showcase the best work of this "poet of plenitude, irony, and Augustan grace" (The New Yorker). Go, little book, out of this house and into the world, carriage made of paper rolling toward town bearing a single passenger beyond the reach of this jittery pen and far from the desk and the nosy gooseneck lamp. It is time to decamp, put on a jacket and venture outside, time to be regarded by other eyes, bound to be held in foreign hands. So off you go, infants of the brain, with a wave and some bits of fatherly advice: stay out as late as you like, dont bother to call or write, and talk to as many strangers as you can.

In Just Being Here, the acclaimed poet Coleman Barks joins master cellist David Darling in a celebration of friendship - some of Rumi's most memorable poems on the subject and five of Coleman's own - illuminated within the interplay of Coleman's inspired readings and David's music.

https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/ Titolo: Poesie d'amore Autore: Pablo Neruda Narratore: Alberto Rossatti Formato: Unabridged Durata: 51 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 03-18-10 Editore: Il Narratore s.r.l. Valutazioni: 5 su 5 su 1 voti Categoria: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Riepilogo Editore: Un'antologia delle più belle poesie che Pablo Neruda ha dedicato al sentimento che più di ogni altro sa illuminare o distruggere, dare la vita o portare alla morte: l' Amore. Il poeta, lungo l'intero arco della vita e della sua produzione poetica, ha dedicato a questo sentimento molte delle sue opere più importanti e più conosciute. Alcune delle liriche che compongono questa raccolta sono tratte da "Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada", altre da "Los versos del Capitán", "Odas elementales", "Nuevas odas elementales" e "Cien sonetos de amor". L'amore che il poeta ci racconta è quello dolce e appassionato dei primi incontri, ma anche quello che fa male al cuore, l'amore disperato che annienta chi ama, l'amore finito di cui resta solo il ricordo. E proprio il ricordo è uno dei temi più cari all'autore che si rifugia nella nostalgia e nella malinconia, nell'incolmabile senso di mancanza e di vuoto che accompagna chi ha perso la persona amata. Le liriche spaziano dall'esuberante sensualità dei versi con cui il poeta descrive il corpo dell'amata, il suo aroma e il suo sorriso, alla malinconica e struggente tristezza di quelli dedicati all'amore perduto. Immagini "rubate" alla natura, al paesaggio, alla quotidianità sono le costanti alle quali il poeta attinge a piene mani, versi che, come Neruda stesso ha sostenuto, nonostante la malinconia che le percorre e le pervade, contengono "il godimento dell'esistenza". La voce calda e profonda di Alberto Rossatti scava nelle pieghe dei versi di Neruda per estrarne emozioni palpitanti o sommesse, riflessioni penetranti e giochi di ritmo e melodia che incontrandosi con le note della chitarra di Giovanni Cenci danno vita ad un ascolto indimenticabile.

Title: The Raven (Golden Deer Classics) Author: Edgar Allen Poe Narrator: Brian Kelly Format: Abridged Length: 32 mins Language: English Release date: 11-24-17 Publisher: Oregan Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: When a modern film script draws inspiration from a poem written more than a century ago, readers can judge its impact on our collective imagination. Such is the resonance of the poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe. First published in 1845, "The Raven" is a masterpiece of atmosphere, rhythmic quality and use of language. Constructed in narrative form, it tells the story of a young man who is mourning the loss of his beloved. One December night as he wearily sits up browsing through a classical volume, a mysterious tapping against his window disturbs him. When he opens it to investigate, a strange and mournful raven enters his room and perches on the bust of a Greek goddess inside. The rest of the poem deals with the melancholy and mournful one-sided conversation between the two. The narrator desperately questions the Raven about Lenore, his lost love, but the Raven only gives a single dismal word "Nevermore" in reply. What happens to the narrator in the course of this conversation makes up the rest of the poem. ©2017 Oregan Publishing (P)2017 Oregan Publishing

Title: Long Way Down Author: Jason Reynolds Narrator: Jason Reynolds Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-24-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 155 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: An ode to "Put the Damn Guns Down", this is National Book Award finalist and New York Times best seller Jason Reynolds' fiercely stunning novel that takes place in 60 potent seconds - the time it takes a kid to decide whether or not he's going to murder the guy who killed his brother. A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULE. Or, you can call it a gun. That's what 15-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That's where Will's now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother's gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he's after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that's when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn's gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn't know that Shawn had ever actually used his gun. Bigger huh. Buck is dead. But Buck's in the elevator? Just as Will's trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck's cigarette. Will doesn't know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, misses. And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an end...if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could be told only by Jason Reynolds.

Ewing Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-17 Publisher: Haymarket Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Electric Arches is an imaginative exploration of Black girlhood and womanhood through poetry, visual art, and narrative prose. Blending stark realism with the surreal and fantastic, Eve L. Ewing's narrative takes us from the streets of 1990s Chicago to an unspecified future, deftly navigating the boundaries of space, time, and reality. Ewing imagines familiar figures in magical circumstances - blues legend Koko Taylor is a tall-tale hero; LeBron James travels through time and encounters his teenage self. She identifies everyday objects - hair moisturizer, a spiral notebook - as precious icons. Her visual art is spare, playful, and poignant - a cereal box decoder ring that allows the wearer to understand what Black girls are saying; a teacher's angry, subversive message scrawled on the chalkboard. Electric Arches invites fresh conversations about race, gender, the city, identity, and the joy and pain of growing up. Eve L. Ewing is a writer, scholar, artist, and educator from Chicago. Her work has appeared in Poetry, The New Yorker, New Republic, The Nation, The Atlantic, and many other publications. She is a sociologist at the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration.

Title: Message Author: Fernando Pessoa Narrator: Guy Bethell Format: Unabridged Length: 36 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-17 Publisher: Cadmus & Harmony Media Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Although generally considered one of Portugal's greatest poets, Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (1888-1935) published but one book in Portuguese in his lifetime. That book, Message (Portuguese Mensagem), the esoteric epic at which he labored sporadically for more than 20 years before finally publishing it in the year prior to his death, is undoubtedly essential to an understanding of Pessoa's poetic vision, yet it remains, at least in the English-speaking world, relatively unknown and unread. Mark Will, author of the epic poem Of Letters and a Man, now offers to the public a new unabridged translation of Pessoa's forgotten modernist classic, in order to reintroduce listeners to a work which is as central to the Pessoan corpus as is the more celebrated, posthumously published Book of Disquiet.

Title: Bone Author: Yrsa Daley-Ward, Kiese Laymon - foreword Narrator: Yrsa Daley-Ward, Kiese Laymon Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: From the celebrated poet Yrsa Daley-Ward, a poignant collection of poems about the heart, life, and the inner self. Bone. Visceral. Close to. Stark. The poems in Yrsa Daley-Ward's collection Bone are exactly that: reflections on a particular life honed to their essence - so clear and pared down, they become universal. From navigating the oft competing worlds of religion and desire to balancing society's expectations with the raw experience of being a woman in the world; from detailing the experiences of growing up as a first-generation black British woman to working through situations of dependence and abuse; from finding solace in the echoing caverns of depression and loss to exploring the vulnerability and redemption in falling in love, each of the raw and immediate poems in Daley-Ward's Bone resonate to the core of what it means to be human. "You will come away bruised. You will come away bruised but this will give you poetry." Foreword by Kiese Laymon, author of Long Division.

Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and déjà vu and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You're gonna give us the love we need. Critic Reviews: "This is a marvelous book. See for yourself. Morgan Parker is a fearlessly forward and forward-thinking literary star." (Terrance Hayes)

Title: The Inferno Author: Dante, Robert Hollander - translator, Jean Hollander - translator Narrator: Dominic Hoffman Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: The epic grandeur of Dante's masterpiece has inspired readers and listeners for 700 years and has entered the human imagination. But the further we move from the late medieval world of Dante, the more a rich understanding and enjoyment of the poem depends on knowledgeable guidance. Robert Hollander, a renowned scholar and master teacher of Dante, and Jean Hollander, an accomplished poet, have written a beautifully accurate and clear verse translation of the first volume of Dante's epic poem, the Divine Comedy. Featuring the original Italian text opposite the translation, this edition also offers an extensive and accessible introduction and generous commentaries that draw on centuries of scholarship as well as Robert Hollander's own decades of teaching and research. The Hollander translation is the new standard in English of this essential work of world literature. Critic Reviews: "A distinguished act of poetry and scholarship in one and the same breath, the Hollander Dante, among the strong translations of the poet, deserves to take its own honored place." (Robert Fagles) "This new version of the Inferno wonderfully captures the concision, directness, and pungency of Dante's style. Like a mirror, it reflects with clarity and precision the Italian original. Each canto's set of copious, authoritative notes complements the facing-page Italian and English translation. A grand achievement." (Richard Lansing, professor of Italian and comparative literature, Brandeis University) "English-speaking lovers of Dante are doubly in the Hollanders' debt: first, for this splendidly lucid and eminently readable version of Dante's Hell, and second, for the provocative, elegantly-written commentary, which judiciously synthesizes a lifetime of deeply engaged, wide ranging scholarship, as well as the past six centuries of commentary on the poem. No student of Dante would want to be without it." (John Ahern, Antolini Professor of Italian literature, Vassar College)

Title: Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth Author: Warsan Shire Narrator: Warsan Shire Format: Unabridged Length: 30 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: What elevates Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth, what gives the poems their disturbing brilliance, is Warsan Shire's ability to give simple, beautiful eloquence to the veiled world where sensuality lives in the dominant narrative of Islam, reclaiming the more nuanced truths of earlier times - as in Tayeb Salih's work - and translating to the realm of lyric the work of the likes of Nawal El Saadawi. As Rumi said, "Love will find its way through all languages on its own"; in Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth, Warsan's début, we witness the unearthing of a poet who finds her way through all preconceptions to strike the heart directly.

Title: The Blissful Longing of Rumi Author: Jalal ad-Din Rumi Narrator: Clay Lomakayu Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 12-12-16 Publisher: MSAC Philosophy Group Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: I first came upon the magnificent Divani Shamsi Tabriz at the now defunct Bodhi Tree bookstore on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood. I was 17 years old and I used to haunt that bookstore like a ghost who overstayed his welcome, primarily because they allowed its patrons to sit comfortably and read whatever was on their shelves for offer. I have a very fond memory of reading Rumi's deeply moving paens to his deceased mentor and friend, Shams of Tabriz. I eventually bought the paperback edition of the book and read it daily for years. Even today nearly five decades later my eyes moisten whenever I read anew the infinite longing that Rumi had for his beloved teacher, particularly when he could plaintively write, "Love's fingers tear up, root and stem, every house where sunbeams fall from love. When my heart saw love's sea, of a sudden it left me and leaped in, crying, find me. The face of Shamsi Din, Tabriz's glory, is the sun in whose track the cloud-like hearts are moving." Reynold A. Nicholson has done us all in the English speaking world a wonderful service by translating from the original Persian much of Rumi's writings. The following excerpted poems provide a glimpse into the heart and mind of the one world's greatest mystic poets. It is my hope that a new cadre of listeners will be moved and touched by Rumi's poems, which each have a universal import that transcends both religion and cultural boundaries. Though Rumi was a Muslim and wrote within the context of a believer in Islam, his message goes to the heart of all spiritual inquiries - regardless of whether one is a Jew, a Christian, or a Hindu.
