I was never able to read this smoothly to my children. I can't believe Dennis can keep from getting his tongue tied! I love it!!

So put on your pith helmet and join Jack Prelutsky for an adventure you will never forget! ©2006 Jack Prelutsky; (P)2006 HarperCollins Publishers Critic Reviews: "Prelutsky introduces the curious inhabitants of Scranimal Island through his skillful and captivating poems. The creatures, such as the Mangorilla and Orangutangerine, are each a cross between an animal and a fruit, vegetable, or flower, and behave accordingly." School Library Journal) Members Reviews: Great book, terrible narration. Jack Prelutsky as an author is amazing. Scranimals has been a family favorite for years. We have read it so many times that we know each page by heart. The vocabulary and rhythm of the poems are utterly brilliant. It's silly while also being clever and funny. The illustrations in the print book are charming. Jack Prelutsky as a narrator is painful to listen to. What you don't hear in the preview for this book is the author singing the poems after he reads them. It's repetitive, unnecessary and annoying. I bought this book to listen to with my children. They both adore the print book so I thought this would be a sure winner for car trips and before bedtime. Ha, nope. They don't like it either.

Playtime Rhymes for Little People Audiobook by Clare Beaton

Members Reviews: I recommend this CD with the version of Susan Reed and her daughters, not this one. This is a review for the CD sung and played by Dave Townsend, Paul Downes, Charles Spicer, and Caroline Butler. I had previously heard this exact title of CD, which looks the same on the cover, but has Susan Reed and her daughters singing which I would rate 5 stars. I made the mistake of assuming there was only one type of this CD. Are they sharp or flat? Am I listening to some drunk people at the karaoke bar or are they the singers gone wrong at the open mic night at the coffee shop? Hard to tell. Not quite as good as Mother Goose by this same illustrator I am hooked on Clare Beaton -- her illustrations are dynamite! But this book is not as much fun as the Mother Goose she did -- I was hoping for fewer finger-play rhymes (like itsy-bitsy spider) and more London Bridge-type rhymes. Just childhood sing-song would have pleased me better. However, the illustrations are out of this world. You really can't go wrong with this book. And if finger play is your thing, then this is your book for sure. Grand Daughter loves the rhymes and picture book My Grand daughter sways back and forth to the music and rhymes, and loves the book. It's sturdy enough to withstand her trying to eat the pages, as that's what the young one's do with everything they can get their hands on. Highly recommended. Beautiful pictures This book has beautiful pictures but the music isn't fast paced enough for my 3 and 4 year olds. It is very high quality though. Pages fall out! This is a beautiful book and my son loves it, however the pages have fallen out after only a few weeks of reading. I returned the book to amazon and received another copy, and the same thing happened. So basically, great book with unfortunately very poor binding.

The charming poems, each one dedicated to a different king or queen, tell the story of the 41 English monarchs from William I to Elizabeth II in a humorous and charming way that has delighted generations of children and their parents. The readings also include a selection from Heroes and Heroines by the same authors, including Alexander the Great, Julius Cesar, Robin Hood, Christopher Columbus, Sir Francis Drake, George Washington, Napoleon, Florence Nightingale and Buffalo Bill, among others. Members Reviews: Memory Lane It is better to have the pictures, but reasonable fun if you did know these poems as a child. It finishes with a blast of sentimental patriotism in 1953 - but funnily enough that brings us bang up to date on British monarchs!

Title: We Are America Subtitle: A Tribute from the Heart Author: Walter Dean Myers, Adriana Sananes Narrator: MacLeod Andrews, Olivia DuFord, Dion Graham, Lizann Mitchell, Christopher Myers, Walter Dean Myers, Johanna Parker, Kaipo Schwab Format: Unabridged Length: 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-04-13 Publisher: Live Oak Media Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Audie Award Nominee, Children's Titles for Ages Up to 8, 2013 What is it to be an American? In lyrical, soul-searching free verse, the father-son team who presented Jazz, delivers a heartfelt and thought-provoking homage to this country. Reflective and non-judgmental, stretching across a tumultuous history and following dreams of and struggles for freedom, this masterful and stunning presentation of patriotism through poetry, quotations, and depictions of myriad Americans - from Tecumseh to Abraham Lincoln to Jimi Hendrix - celebrates the heart and soul of this land. Critic Reviews: "The sweeping scope of Myers's free verse poems is captured beautifully and interpreted dramatically on this CD by a diverse cast of narrators. This eminently patriotic book celebrates free expression and attempts to paint with word pictures the depth and breadth of the varied American experience...the chorus of voices, music, and sounds tell the unique story of America and its people in 33 breathless minutes. Truly inspirational." (School Library Journal) "A chorus of voices welcomes listeners to Walter Dean Myers's and Christopher Myers's meditation on what it is to be American. Poems and quotes are delivered by a talented cast of narrators that reflect the diversity of the United States. Taken together, the words, thoughtful performances, snippets of music and sound effects, and illustrations form a moving and inspiring whole, painting an authentic and inclusive picture of a complex, ever-changing nation. This is an important audio program, and one that's ideal for hearing and reading together - as a family or in the classroom - and for inspiring discussion and sharing personal experiences. A foreword, read in the author's own deep voice, explains his impetus for writing We Are America ("No words here have been penned lightly, no flag waved mindlessly. This is simply my truest feelings for my country, my tribute to America."), and appendices at the end, also narrated, put the quotes in historical context and identify the people and events in Christopher Myers's evocative, mural-like illustrations." (AudioFile Magazine) "The events of 9/11 left America reeling, with people reacting in horror, grief, anger, and despair. Myers turned to America's founding documents, and the result is this collection of 14 free-verse poems that pay tribute to America and its people. A dozen narrators, including Walter Dean Myers and illustrator Christopher Myers, along with Andrews, Jenny Alogna, Kelley Rose Alogna, Olivia DuFord, Dion Graham, Kim Meijer, Lizann Mitchell, Johanna Parker, Adriana Sananes, and Kaipo Schwab, perform the moving selections that go forward in time to show America's growth and changes. Listeners can follow along with the included hardcover book featuring Myers' colorful paintings in two-page spreads. Poems covering such topics as the discovery of America's "endless land" offer a sweeping overview of the country and provide an inspirational look at who Americans are and how they came to the New World. Some selections, such as an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence, are delivered in unison, while others find narrators reading alternate lines. All the deliveries are crisp, clear, and filled with heartfelt emotion.

Title: Dunbar Out Loud Author: Paul Laurence Dunbar Narrator: Bobby Norfolk Format: Abridged Length: 38 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-06 Publisher: August House Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Dunbar was born in Dayton, Ohio, in 1872, to parents who were both former slaves. From this humble and impoverished background, he went on to achieve international recognition for his work, which he alternately rendered in African-American dialect and in standard English. His work was popular with both black and white readers. Though he died of tuberculosis at the age of 33, his output was prolific. Before his death, he published 12 poetry collections, four short-story collections, one play, and five novels. Editorial Reviews: This poetry collection has something for everyone - the admonitions of an exasperated mother rousting her child in the morning, the spine-tingling teasing of the bogeyman, the fleeting memory of the first rose of love, the profound sadness and injustice of sons, fathers, and husbands going off to war, and the excited cheer of a special picnic. Dunbar wrote of the African-American experience at the turn of the twentieth century. Storyteller Bobby Norfolk brings this poetry to life for the 21st-century listener. The stories are written to be heard, and Norfolk tells the stories, illuminates poignant thoughts, and captures photographic moments through pacing, inflection, musical intonation, and African-American dialect. His interpretation complements the energy and depth of Dunbar's work. Critic Reviews: "The rich and descriptive poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar come alive as they are performed by three-time Emmy winner Bobby Norfolk. Listeners are transported to the American South in the era around the Civil War through dialect and the themes of the poems." (School Library Journal) "This poetry collection has something for everyone - the admonitions of an exasperated mother rousting her child in the morning, the spine-tingling teasing of the bogeyman, the fleeting memory of the first rose of love, the profound sadness and injustice of sons, fathers, and husbands going off to war, and the excited cheer of a special picnic." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Dunbar Out Loud I love the way Mr. Norfolk has brought to life this beautiful poetry by Paul Laurence Dunbar. I highly recommend this CD for teachers of poetry for their students.

Title: A Pet Banana Author: Othen Donald Dale Cummings Narrator: David Zarbock Format: Unabridged Length: 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-14 Publisher: Othen Donald Dale Cummings Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Children can learn basic colors with this fun story/rhyme! A few years ago my mom had open heart surgery; during this procedure she had a major stroke. My mother had a huge struggle ahead of her and with stroke damage believed so severe that we could only hope for minimum recovery. Against all odds my mom proved everyone wrong! She made huge gains in every area through extraordinary courage and perseverance. A Pet Banana is a rhyme/story that I came up with one night to help my mom with speech therapy. We needed to do speaking exercises in between visits and A Pet Banana and other stories we created together was a fun way to do this! We hope you and your children enjoy this audiobook, it will make a great companion for the paperback edition. Members Reviews: Bananas Everywhere! This charming childrenâs book is full of bananas! Through the use of poetry and illustrations, the author has created a cute book for beginning readers. This book would also be perfect for a parent to read to their child, or for helping a new reader laugh while learning. In addition to helping a child read, the author has cleverly introduced colors. Fun book! Five Stars Fine kids book Eloquent and Amazing Really, the best book I have ever read. It's much better than any other classic, such as Dracula or Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The wonderfully done MS Paint drawings really help bring out the emotional plotline of the story, along with the fantastic characters. After learning the broken past of this banana, I really felt bad for it, and I was glad it found a home. I envy the banana, really, for I feel it represents the average being to a degree unseen by any other novel these days. It shows the difficulties and struggles of life, and how things will turn out better in the end. To say it in short, a much better love story than Twilight. I loved the ending!! A pet banana! I was really intrigued by the fact that this author originally created this rhyme to help his mother during her speech therapy. The artwork is really simple, but cute at the same time with colorful illustrations of animals and other characters that look like a child drew them. The repeating rhyme is really fun for children and a nice way to teach them about colors. My grandchildren really enjoy this and they love the ending every time they hear it! I get a kick out of it too! A pet banana for a friend! If you don't want a pet banana already, you will after reading this story. This rhyming book is cute and clever in a style that reminds me of The House That Jack Built. It's what I like to call a "new classic". The illustrations are fun and quirky. This book also teaches colours. A very important concept for young children! I highly recommend it!

Title: Sir Silly Subtitle: The World Where Words Play Author: David Dayan Fisher Narrator: David Dayan Fisher Format: Unabridged Length: 35 mins Language: English Release date: 08-12-13 Publisher: Sunnyfields Publishing Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Sir Silly is very serious about being silly. Good-bye, hello, welcome, and good night. Introducing the wonderful world of Sir Silly. He was born before time, and so he has no time for such time that was before that time. He thinks in rhyme and always lets his imagination dance freely. Sir Silly is all he can be, to be as silly as he can. It seems to have never left him since he was a little boy. He plays with words and the pictures that they can create. Some play with paint, chalk, or pencils. Others are actors and play with characters and their voices. Then there are those who give us music, who play with tunes and words together. It's all about making fun out of having fun and maybe being funny while doing so. Please enjoy the silly side of a man soaked in silly. May all that you hear give you all that you see. And all you that see make you read with glee. Sir Silly is in all of us. I hope you find him in you. Welcome to the world where words play. These poems are for children who should never grow up and for those who never did. This book is dedicated to the child in all of us, to all the children I have known, and to all the children who get to know Sir Silly. Members Reviews: Tickled Silly David Dayan Fisher has done it again! What a marvelous collection of silly thoughts, words and poems. Creative silliness and a super-duper fun read for children of all ages. Granddaughter Loved It Bought the book for my granddaughter. She is only 3, but loved it. My plan was to read a poem a night. She wanted them all in one night. She laughed and laughed. Loved it. A Great Book! This is a great collection of poetry that will make you smile. It reminded me a lot of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelusky, and is filled with funny wit and humor. You will have a blast sharing this with your own kids. Too quickly though the book is complete, but I found that my kids wanted me to go back and read them over and over. On top of this the poems are encircled by great illustrations that are whimsical and fun. Whether you read this yourself or you give it as a gift, it is definitely one to share with others in the end! *I received this for review - all opinions are my own* Do you ever like to be silly? Do you ever like to be silly? Welcome to the wonderful world of Sir Silly: âMay all that you read Give you all that you see And all you that see Make you read with glee.â Sir Silly is author David Dayan Fisher, an actor, author, artist, and poet who moved from London, England, to Los Angeles, CA, and has since had a great career in movies and television. Also, he has written five books, three of which are for children, the other two being Puppy School and Oakley and the Grump. He says that he always wanted to play for a living and never grew up. Said to be a cross between Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss, Sir Silly: The World Where Words Play is a small book of poems for children who should never grow up and for those who never did. I donât care for âstupid,â but I really donât mind âsillyâ because âsillyâ can sometimes be fun. This book, with whimsical line drawings by Patricia Krebs, is just the right kind of âsillyâ that will have youngsters laughing out loud and adults, who will enjoy its play on words, sarcasm, and double meanings, as well. Slightly older kids will probably get more of a kick out of Sir Silly than younger children.

The Song Shoots Out of My Mouth Audiobook by Jamie Adoff

Title: The Song Shoots Out of My Mouth Author: Jamie Adoff Narrator: Jamie Adoff Format: Unabridged Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-08 Publisher: Penguin Group USA and Audible Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: This rockin' collection of 24 dynamic, original poems vividly captures a variety of musical experiences from the teen perspective. From playing in the school band to playing air guitar, from performing a favorite song to dreaming of stardom, the power of music is explored with passion. The rhythm and language of each poem reflect a different musical genre, including classical, hip-hop, jazz, folk, and reggae. Whether hitting drums "with more force/than a million recess bullies", rapping "no one can touch me, don't even try to front", or depicting the struggles of a garage band, this vibrant collection celebrates the importance of music for teenagers. Critic Reviews: "Some of the poems are slyly funny. Others are more serious; '88,' for example, uses the piano, with its black and white keys, as a metaphor for civil rights and integration. A few are forgettable, but all shine with the poet's obvious love of music and musicians." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Captivating!! This book has all the makings of a classic! It held my attention all the way, a real page turner! Enjoy!! Creatively written and magnificently scored! I would recommend this book for any young reader in your life who shows any interest in music. Younger kids who may not be able to read the book on their own will really enjoy and benefit from the artistic music accompaniment - some poems are accented by whole songs or musical pieces and others by sound effects to more clearly illustrate the literal elements of the poems. The readings by author are lively and filled with emotion bringing the words alive. Download this book, and then go buy a hard copy so that your child can follow along and enjoy the illustrations as well - I'm not sure if it has been released with book and CD together yet or not. Enjoy!!

Long Way Down Audiobook by Jason Reynolds

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. Members Reviews: Real and Relevant! Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, narrated by Jason Reynolds is amazing! I knew it would be....everything I have read by Jason Reynolds has been outstanding. What makes this one even better, though, is the narration. He narrates this piece himself, proving he is talented not only as a writer, but also as a performer! Because of the style of writing (yes, get yourself the book in print, too, because to be able to see these words on paper is just as powerful as hearing them), I don't think anyone could have done a better job narrating this piece than the author, himself. I teach Spanish and English Lit and Composition in an urban setting high school and my students LOVE his work. His characters are relatable, because they ARE my students. His stories are relevant, because they are about THEIR lives. He is an inspiration to so many people - young, old, students, teachers, parents.... Do you know that Jason Reynolds didn't read his 1st complete novel until he was 17 years old? The required texts written into most schools' curriculum do not always reach kids the same way they once did, because our world isn't the same way it once was.

My Book of Life by Angel Audiobook by Martine Leavitt

Pretty soon she's addicted to his candy, and she moves in with him. As a favor, he asks her to hook up with a couple of friends of his, and then a couple more. Now Angelis stuck working thestreets at Hastings and Main, a notoriousspot in Vancouver, Canada, where the girls turn tricksuntil they disappear without a trace, and the authorities don't care. But after her friend Serenadisappears, and when Call brings home a girl who is even younger and more vulnerable than her to learn the trade, Angel knows that she and the new girl have got to find a way out. Members Reviews: A difficult subject and a well-told tale Capturing the voice of someone who has taken a terrible misstep in their life is a challenge, and one that Martine Leavitt manages with skill. Her telling of the story of Angel, a young teenager hooked on drugs and turned to prostitution by the pimp she loves, is both gripping and lyrically told. The horrors of her situation are handled in a way that make them accessible to a young adult reader, and Angel's intelligence that finally helps her escape makes her a strong character. This book will appeal to an adolescent looking for a book with some grit and some darkness; it certainly makes the life of a girl on the streets frightening and repulsive, while drawing sympathetic characters in Angel and the people who help her. The language is beautiful and the story moves very quickly. The background of the book is a true story of a serial killer of prostitutes in Vancouver. HIghly recommended for the right reader. different style of writing,, Although I did enjoy this book and thought the plot was interesting. It was not as well written as other books I have read, the vocabulary, grammar and punctuation lacked. It was almost as if a young child had actually written it, which goes with the plot, but is a little too casual for a young adult/adult reader who would like the writing to be a little more intellectual. Two Stars Actually it was so weird to read I never finished it. Can't explain Beautiful and Haunting Leavitt's latest novel will stay with you for a long time. Told in a series of poems, Angel's story is both beautiful and haunting. The imagery is powerful, and the main character's circumstance is extremely compelling. It's a must-read! Not bad at all I actually really enjoyed this book but there's some parts that I didn't understand too well and I got a bit confused

The first three sections piece together the life of the author while the final section serves as a note to the listener. This moving book explores love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, and inspiration. the princess saves herself in this one is the first book in the women are some kind of magic series. Members Reviews: Beautiful and Powerful The Princess Saves Herself in This One is a collection of poetry in four parts: the princess, the damsel, the queen, and you. Honestly, I have a hard time calling this poetry because itâs more than that. This collection is raw emotion and life experiences manifested as words. Itâs pain, suffering, self-reflection, self-discovery, love, loss, and more. I could spend years reading and re-reading it, carefully editing this draft, and I still wouldnât be able to do it justice. As I read this, I had a couple of thoughts between sudden outbursts of tears. One was that I hadnât read a collection of poetry that I related to and felt the words so deeply since my first encounter with Sylvia Plathâs poetry when I was a teenager. The second was that I probably should have read it with tissues and wine. Iâve had book hangovers before, but what Iâm experiencing after reading The Princess Saves Herself in This One isnât a book hangover, itâs a haunting. The words wonât leave me, and Iâm ok with that. I bought the Kindle edition of this because A) I could have it and read it faster, and B) money was tight when I bought it. But, I think Iâm going to order a physical copy ASAP because I want this on my poetry shelf. Something this important, something that touched my life in the way this book did (which I canât convey in words, so Iâm not going to try)â it deserves a spot on my shelf. Iâm certain this will be something I read againâand again. READ THIS BOOK I just finished reading this beautiful poetry collection. I have never known poetry to leave me book drunk before but Amanda Lovelace's work is going to leave me hung over for days. I truly enjoy poetry but I have never met a collection that is so relateable to my personal story nor my feelings put so elegantly. I feel less alone in my journey. This work is raw, real, and inspiring. I want to thank the author for her bravery in telling her story and for her words of encouragement on the never ending road that is recovery. Empowering Read Excellent read - already recommended it to several people. I read it too quickly and am going back through it to really hear her words, but the overall message is clear and I found it inspiring and empowering. I enjoy it and I hope the author shares more of ... This is a lovely book. I enjoy it and I hope the author shares more of her work. Rather lovely. Would buy again. I couldn't stop reading this once I started. I purchased this because I've gotten to know the author a bit through her Tumblr, and I believe in supporting artists when I can. I know through her posts that she has a clear voice, but I'd never seen any of her poetry. Despite the fact that I have no intentions of reaching out to her regarding this collection, I still found myself crossing my fingers, "Pleeeease be good." And. WOW. It's beautiful, heartbreaking, and personal.

Title: And Still I Rise (Unabridged Selections) Author: Maya Angelou Narrator: Maya Angelou Format: Abridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-05 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 318 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: These poems are powerful, distinctive, and fresh, and as always, full of the lifting rhythms of love and remembering. And Still I Rise is written, and read, from the heart, truly a celebration of life. The thirteen poems included here in their entirety are: "A Kind of Love, Some Day"; "Remembrance"; "Where We Belong, a Duet"; "Refusal"; "California Prodigal"; "Willie"; "One More Round"; "Woman Work"; "And Still I Rise"; "Ain't That Bad?"; "Life Doesn't Frighten Me"; "On Aging"; and "Thank You, Lord". Critic Reviews: "Her innate rhythm celebrates her verse and offers the poems to listeners as they should be remembered." (AudioFile) "Vibrant and deep-toned, Angelou's voice wells up from somewhere deep inside." (Philadelphia Inquirer) Members Reviews: Nothing compares to hearing the actual author read Any additional comments? I heard several readings of these poems on YouTube by students and other people, but NOTHING compares to hearing Dr. Maya Angelou read her own poems. She doesn't just read them, she PERFORMS them. You can hear the drama as she pulls you into the amazing stories that she has captured from her lifetime. You must hear these poems as she reads them. Simply reading them from a book does not compare. Amazing This is a book of 32 short poems divided into three parts published in 1978 written and read by Maya Angelou. I know Angelou is controversial and her books, plays and poems are banned in many places and like many great poets people either love her or hate her poems. I enjoy her poems not only for the story they tell and the optimism but the rhythm and rhyme. I have books of her poems but particularly enjoyed this audio book because of her beautiful voice reading her own poems. In this book I particularly like the poem Willie about her crippled uncle. I also enjoyed the working poems One More Round the mans working poem and Womens Work about women. The poems follow the even number stanzas in the eight stanza poem to create a refrain like those found in many work songs and are variations of many protest poems. Angelou wrote a play in 1976 about discrimination called Still I Rise the poem came from the play. It is one of my favorite poems. The opening of the poem is as follows: You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may tread me in the very dirt But still, like dust, Ill rise Comparing how she continuously rises herself up emotionally to stay strong just, like how the moon and sun rise every day no matter what happens. By repeating I rise it makes the words that much more powerful and makes it stand out emphasizing the message which is to stay strong and to never allow anything or anyone stop you from fighting and living strong. The main theme of the poem is discrimination. The poem teaches readers that all humans have strength that lies within us that can help to overcome any obstacle.

Title: The Poets' Corner Subtitle: The One-and-Only Poetry Book for the Whole Family Author: John Lithgow Narrator: Morgan Freeman, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren, Glenn Close, Gary Sinese, John Lithgow Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-05-07 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 555 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: John Lithgow has compiled an outstanding collection of memorable poems and has gathered his famous friends to read them. The wide variety of carefully selected poetry in this audiobook provides the perfect introduction to reel in those who are new to poetry, and for poetry lovers to experience beloved verses in a fresh, vivid way. Lithgow offers insightful and sometimes poignant commentary to accompany each poem. His essential criterion is that "each poem's light shines more brightly when read aloud". William Blake, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Dylan Thomas are just a few names among Lithgow's comprehensive list of poetry masters. Family members can take turns listening to these poems and enjoy how each comes to life through the spoken word in this engaging poetry collection. Members Reviews: Thank You, JL There once was a book on my iPad, When piped into ears made them glad; Adoring the poems of Keats, and too the bohemian beats, I mostly wish John Lithgow were my dad. A Painless Crash Course in the Great Western Poets Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Some of the modern poems were so awful, I wanted to cry, but the rest were so good, it made up for it. Any additional comments? Lithgow expertly introduces 50 prominent poets. They are presented alphabetically and samples of their poetry are narrated by Hollywood stars such as Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Jodie Foster, etc. I suppose the word family is in the title because there is some nonsense poetry included and because of Lithgows grandfatherly tone. But if I were trying to introduce my children to poetry, this is not the selection I would choose because of the inclusion of modern poetry with its clunky rythms and obtuse meanings. (If someone has to explain a poem to you before you can like it, you have already missed much of the magic, soul-touching quality of poetry.) If I had known how much modern poetry was in this audiobook, I probably would not have purchased it. On the other hand, I was glad to have such a painless, crash course on the greats of Western poetry. I even learned to appreciate the talents of several poets that I hadnt liked before. I had hoped for more classic poetry and couldnt find a list before buying, so I'm including a list here for future buyers: Matthew Arnold (1822-1888) W.H. Auden (1907-1973) John Berryman (1914-1972) Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979) William Blake (1757-1827) Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000) Elizabeth Barrett Browning(1806-1861) Robert Burns (1759-1796) Lord Byron (1788-1824) Lewis Carroll (1831-1898) Geoffrey Chaucer (1342-1400?) Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) Hart Crane (1899-1932) E.E. Cummings (1894-1962) Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) John Donne (1572-1631) T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) Robert Frost (18874-1963) William S. Gilbert (1836-1911) Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) Robert Herrick (1591-1674) Gerard Manley Hopkins(1844-1889) A.E.

Poems of the Elder Edda Audiobook by Patricia Terry

Title: Poems of the Elder Edda Subtitle: The Middle Ages Series Author: Patricia Terry Narrator: Shiromi Arserio, Matthew Posner, Wanda Moats, ThomaS Landbo Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-15 Publisher: Mondello Publishing Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: The great poetic tradition of pre-Christian Scandinavia is known to us almost exclusively though the Prose Edda, a collection of narrative literature, and its companion, the Poetic Edda. The poems originated in Iceland, Norway, and Greenland between the ninth and 13th centuries, when they were compiled in a unique manuscript known as the Codex Regius. The poems are primarily lyrical rather than narrative. Terry's fine translation includes the magnificent cosmological poem, "The Völuspá", didactic poems concerned with mythology and the everyday conduct of life, and heroic poems, of which an important group is concerned with the story of Sigurd and Brynhild. Poems of the Elder Edda will appeal to students of Old Norse, Icelandic, and Medieval literature, as well as to general readers and listeners of poetry. This audio version presents each poem followed by the translator's notes. Critic Reviews: Listeners unfamiliar with classic Old Norse poetry will gain an appreciation for the passion and the values--blind heroism, revenge, honor--that inhabit it. Although each narrator has a particular style, they all enunciate clearly, which is important with a text that has so many unfamiliar-sounding names of characters and places. In an interesting choice, Matthew Posner adopts a rich, clear Scottish accent. The poems draw on stories from the Old Norse religion and tales of heroism, with bits of the histories of Huns, Goths, and Burgundians. Those who are looking for an introduction to Viking literature should be pleased with this production. (D.M.H. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2015]) Members Reviews: brilliance nothing short of exceptional. very beautiful also with the author's notes. hail hail hail hail excellent best translation I loved it! loved the diversity of narrators and also the explanations at the end of each chapter. highly recommend for anyone looking for historically accurate heathen or Asatru literature!!!! Great listen and we'll voiced by the Narrators What an easy to digest translation of the Elder Edda. the Narrators did a great job and made the long stories easier to understand and enjoy. Performance was great, stories even better Face it The Elder Edda isnt as popular, but this version is my favorite lately. The authors notes after each story pushed the overall book for me. Funny accent The narrator using the Scottish accent sounds more Russian than Scottish sometimes, which I found amusing.

Electric Arches Audiobook by Eve L. Ewing

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Electric Arches Author: Eve L. Ewing Narrator: Eve L. 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. Members Reviews: 100% recommend All of the poems are moving and Eve is an amazing narrator. Will listen again. Nice! Very good! I enjoyed this even though Im not a fan of poetry. The author is very gifted. Brilliant One of the best things I've read all year. An astonishing set of poems blurring afrofuturism with biography, with guest appearances by Erykah Badu and Metta World Peace and Prince and Assata Shakur. Ewing's reading is fantastic - an incredible audio production, complementing a brilliant book.

The Inferno Audiobook by Dante, Robert Hollander - translator, Jean Hollander - translator

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) Members Reviews: Captivating and Courageous This past spring I took a class on Dante in which we read the entirety of The Commedia. After taking some time to think about and digest this massive poem, I think I am finally ready to write my review. At the opening of the poem, Dante awakes to find himself lost in a dark wood. Unable to leave the valley, he is greeted by the shade of Virgil, who tells him that he has been sent by Mary and Dante's dearly departed Beatrice to guide Dante through Hell, Purgatory, and eventually to the highest parts of Heaven. Although Dante is initially reluctant to go, he eventually follows Virgil down into the mouth of Hell. While the idea of reading such a long old poem seems daunting, the language and imagery that Dante uses makes it as compelling and fresh as if it were written yesterday. It is, first and foremost, a journey, and the sights the pilgrim sees on his journey to the bottom of Hell are described in vivid and sometimes gross detail. Hell is a very physical place, full of bodies and bodily functions, and Dante doe snot skimp on the imagery. But as often as his language is crude, it is at times stunningly beautiful. There were similes that absolutely stopped me in my tracks with their perfection and beauty. If you want to read the Inferno for the first time, read it like a novel.

At Blackwater Pond Audiobook by Mary Oliver

Title: At Blackwater Pond Subtitle: Mary Oliver reads Mary Oliver Author: Mary Oliver Narrator: Mary Oliver Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr Language: English Release date: 09-19-11 Publisher: Beacon Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Mary Oliver has published fifteen volumes of poetry and five books of prose in the span of four decades, but she rarely performs her poetry in live readings. Now, with the arrival of At Blackwater Pond, Mary Oliver has given her audience what they've longed to hear: the poet's voice reading her own work. In this beautifully produced audiobook, Mary Oliver has recorded forty of her favorite poems, nearly spanning the length of her career, from Dream Work through her newest volume, New and Selected Poems, Volume Two. Members Reviews: High Hopes I have been a fan or really a lover of Mary Oliver's writing for as long as I can remember. I own most of her books in print and read them randomly and often. Oliver's words are powerful and through their deceptive simplicity and careful word choice convey deep meaning. Art in print for me. Then recently I tried several radio play type of recordings from Audible--a new thing for me--and found that I enjoyed them very much. When I saw this collection of poetry--read by the author I was interested. I thought that it might be wonderful to hear the author read her own poems. What I found was that voice recordings of poetry can be a wobbly thing. Much of the pleasure of reading poems--for me--comes from the ability to pause and think. Pace the words--putting stress on different lines in my mind. In short, the recorded version did not work for me. Thank goodness I own the book in print. Don't miss the poems but do listen to the sample first. Plain Song There is a delicacy to Mary Oliver's plain speaking which resonates well with the kernels of wisdom she so effortlessly conveys. this poet shouldn't read own work I love Mary Oliver's poetry and thought it would be wonderful to hear her read her own work. Unfortunately, I found her narration quite dry and I could not complete this book. Outstanding Mary Oliver has created the space within these poems to stretch ones self into comfort. Inscription in Memory If you could sum up At Blackwater Pond in three words, what would they be? Eloquent, Thoughtful, Vivid What other book might you compare At Blackwater Pond to and why? Well I could list every book I ever read by Mary Oliver, which is lots, but this is the only I've read with my ears, and the ear bone is so old and wise. So nothing. What about Mary Olivers performance did you like? Her voice is like dripping nectar at times. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Hearing Wild Geese aloud made me forgive myself and loosen up any exterior standards I have, for I do not have to be good! The Buddha's Last Instruction had a similar release. Any additional comments? I have listened to this so many times, I know about half of it by memory, by a usually water logged memory.

She's been hailed as a firebrand, a radical, a healer, and a sage; a wise and courageous voice who has spoken out on the sensitive issues, including race and gender, that touch our national consciousness. Love Poems: Nikki reads a stunning collection of more than 20 romantic, bold, and erotic love poems, expressing notions of love in ways that are delightfully unexpected and full of fearless passion and spirited wit. From the revolutionary "Seduction" to the tender "Just a Simple Declaration of Love" and the elegiac "All Eyez on U". written for Tupac Shakur, these poems embody the fearless passion and spirited wit for which Nikki Giovanni is beloved and revered. A Good Cry: With her new collection, Nikki offers listeners an intimate, affecting, and illuminating look at her personal history and the mysteries of her own heart. Reading her work, she takes us into her confidence, describing the joy and peril of aging and recalling the violence that permeated her parents' marriage and her early life. Nikki also celebrates her good friend Maya Angelou and the many years of friendship, poetry, and kitchen-table laughter they shared. Members Reviews: A Love Letter in the form of Poems This book was a love letter to many parts of her life in poetry form. It felt so intimate and I greatly appreciated the times where she explained the origins of the poems. Hearing her own poems in her voice was surreal and really made the experience greater.

Title: Many Miles Subtitle: Mary Oliver reads Mary Oliver Author: Mary Oliver Narrator: Mary Oliver Format: Original Recording Length: 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-14 Publisher: Beacon Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Following the success of At Blackwater Pond, this second CD from best-selling poet Mary Oliver contains a selection of 37 previously published poems and four as yet uncollected, read by the poet in her steady, magnetic voice. Oliver recites from the full range of her poetry - from her classic nature writing, to her verses for her mischievous bichon Percy, to her ever-deepening spiritual poems. Many Miles will be a most welcome addition to the collections of her fans. Members Reviews: Thank you for being slow & speaking of beauty. Would you consider the audio edition of Many Miles to be better than the print version? "The flowers I want to bring to you, still pale and wet" she says in her own voice, instead of touching finger over lines, and she does, a bouquet of reds and blues, brighter than any sunset. (Yes.) What was one of the most memorable moments of Many Miles? For me it is the little mice running through her imagery, next to the pine cone she brings to our hands, opening in a happy place, as poems bring us. What about Mary Olivers performance did you like? I love how with her poetry she proves the delightful point that poetry is relevant, that all of us need poetry, if well written, or if clunky and in our own minds, we still need the poetry. I love how she enters my mind. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Invitation to Happiness Any additional comments? The poem about water, so relevant, so important, proving the vitality of mystery. Natural Beautifully read by the poet. A treat for the music alone. Takes outside inside, and vice versa. Who doesn't love Mary Oliver? Maybe people who have never heard her or read her poems lol. More, more, more... Get busy Mary! XXOO Classic Oliver Never a disappointment, always wonderful to hear her poetry in her own voice. Reading her beautiful reflections in print is one experience but having it read to you is such a treat! Beautiful poetry - needs space to sink in I love Mary Oliver & her beautiful poetry. It's great to hear her reading them herself. There is so much to relish in this collection. However, there is not enough space at the end of each poem. It's hard to tell sometimes where one poem ends & the next begins - the pauses within the poem are sometimes longer than the pauses between. This is a formatting issue that Audible people should sort out. Even switching to the Sleep mode that pauses play at the end of each. Chapter doesn't help - despite each poem being a separate chapter. In some cases, the title of the next poem is cut in half, one word being at the end of the last poem and the rest at the start of the next poem. These slap-dash production values do not match the superb quality of the poetry and the reading. I've heard Mary Oliver perform her work live and she paces things beautifully. Please please poetry audiobook people, pay attention to the silence at the end of a poem so that we can pause and be astonished!

There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce Audiobook by Morgan Parker

Title: There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyonce Author: Morgan Parker Narrator: Morgan Parker Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: A TIME Magazine Best Paperback of 2017 A Publishers Weekly Best Poetry Collection of Spring A Paris Review Staff Pick A Most Anticipated Book of 2017 at NPR.org, BuzzFeed, VICE, NYLON, and more The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly laughing in the therapist's office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. 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) Members Reviews: I was so glad a friend of mine recommended Parker's work to me I was so glad a friend of mine recommended Parker's work to me. The poems in this book are phenomenal. BUT, the shipping on this book is incredibly slow. I bought this book a month ago and still have not received it. It was meant to be a Christmas gift and it's now 1 month since I bought it. Buy this book and support Morgan Parker, just don't buy it from this carrier. There has to be more in store. Iâll have to get past the beginning and get back with you. Iâve spent too many years guarding my eyes and ears to such language. Parker's Brilliant Style Is Difficult I first encountered Morgan Parker's work when I read "The President Has Never Said the Word Black" in The New York Times. It was a deeply moving piece of writing, so when I learned that she had a forthcoming poetry collection, I became determined to read it. The collection starts off with a bang. The opening poem, "All They Want Is My Money My Pussy My Blood" is textured, disjointed and layered. It builds and builds and builds, immersing the reader in historical fact, numerous popular culture references, and tons of clever critique. Parker uses her poems to explore the themes of possession and self-ownership, the imminence of death, meaning of commodification, economies of desire, technology, appropriation, depression, and, of course, the shapes of Black womanhood. Her style shifts with each and every poem. Some poems are written a form that makes their meanings clear while others require the reader to read between and beneath the verses. The collection isn't about Beyoncé per se, but rather the vexed sociopolitical and sociocultural critiques that have been thrust upon Beyoncé, the burdens she's been appointed to carry.

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. Members Reviews: Phenomenal I absolutely loved it. Im going to listen over and over. Reading her work inspires me beyond what I can explain. Simply Magnificent Heavy heart from listening to the beautifully composed words of Warsan Shire. Paints a vivid picture of her poetry.

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. Members Reviews: pls buy this book it is amazing yrsa daley-ward's bone is such an amazing collection. the way she speaks of being a woman, a woman of color, a woman with experiences in 'third world countries' a woman who knows how it is to always be used by men and who knows that being a woman means constantly fighting back and being ready. she writes delicately and with such clarity how it feels to be in that position and to constantly be fighting for the chance to exist. the possibility to be heard, to know that your own personal strength and power are enough to get you out. this book is amazing and should be widely read, i personally cannot wait for her next collection. Love this I absolutely love this and read it in one sitting. Beautiful compilation of thought provoking, strengthening, and inspirational poetry. I highly recommend this book - therapeutic and insightful in a variety ... 'Bone' is a deeply personal book of prose and poetry. Yrsa Daley-Ward shares her experiences with beauty and ease which, at times, proves hard to read. Exploring the silver lining in all experiences, Yrsa declares, "You will come away bruised but this will give you poetry." 'Bone' covers a wide range of topics: depression/mental health, self-image, sexuality and abuse. I highly recommend this book - therapeutic and insightful in a variety of ways. Reminds me of home. The make up of our well being is from our moments in life that are never forgotten. Bone's truly shows just enough of the the author's skeleton that we want more with every piece. But for me it also reminds me of my own bones. I absolutely love the short stories and the spaces Daley-Ward takes us in. Home. Love. Spirit. A work that I can read over and over again and experience with a new sense of understanding. My favorite works are "It is what it is" and "Mental Health". I also appreciate the comedic spaces Daley-Ward utilizes. Personally, its takes me into the Black narrative that tells both sides of the blues we endure. Thank you for this. Five Stars Book was a little soiled but in fair condition as said.

Title: The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump Author: Robert Sears Narrator: Jon Culshaw Format: Unabridged Length: 32 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-17 Publisher: Canongate Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: What if there's another side to Donald Trump? A sensitive, poetic side? Driven by this question, Rob Sears began combing The Donald's words for signs of poetry. What he found was a revelation. By simply taking the President's tweets and transcripts, cutting them up, and reordering them, he unearthed a trove of beautiful verse that was just waiting to be discovered. This collection will give listeners a glimpse of the Trump's innermost thoughts and feelings on everything from the nature of truth to what annoys him about Cher - and will reveal a hitherto hidden Donald, who may surprise and delight both students and critics alike. Members Reviews: the best poetry Believe me, this is the best poetry It wins all the poetry prizes Many people are saying this poetry will bring world peace Other poets will cry and stop writing when they read this, because this poetry is the best It is tremendous, huge, big league Not for everyone, but I loved it! This is a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys wit and literature! I bought it for my fiancé as a Christmas gift and he absolutely enjoyed it. This is NOT a serious book! Some people seem to want it to be a work of genius, but it is meant to be humorous and light. Not all of the poems are funny, but the collection itself made me laugh! Keep in mind if someone is truly hurt by trumps presidency they would likely not enjoy the book. It does contain some raunchy material and itâs all of his most idiotic quotes. *Not for your super liberal family members. Disappointing Was hoping for laugh out loud funny. The introduction was the funniest and wittiest part... the poems? ...they did not meet the excitement generated by an outstanding intro. The 2 stars are for the intro. The missing stars are for the poetry. Great coffee table book Very funny - well put together One Star A clear rip-off of the idea of "Bigly", Rob Long's book. Skip this Johnny Come Lately.

Amazing Peace and Other Poems Audiobook by Maya Angelou

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Amazing Peace and Other Poems Author: Maya Angelou Narrator: Maya Angelou Format: Original Recording Length: 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-05 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 103 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: "Amazing Peace" is a beautiful and deeply moving poem from Maya Angelou. Here she inspires us to embrace the peace and promise of Christmas, so that hope and love can once again light up our holidays and the world. "Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers, look heavenward," she writes, "and speak the word aloud. Peace." "Amazing Peace" is Maya Angelou's radiant affirmation of the goodness of life and is a touching celebration of the "Glad Season" that will resonate with people of all faiths. Also included in this program is her Grammy Award-winning reading of "On the Pulse of Morning", the poem that she created for the inauguration of President William Jefferson Clinton in January 1993. Nearly 13 years later this poem remains just as profound a listening experience. Additionally, the program includes the four poems that make up Phenomenal Woman. The poems are among the most acclaimed of Maya Angelou's body of work. They celebrate women with a majesty that has inspired and touched the hearts of millions. Together with "Amazing Peace" and "On the Pulse of Morning", this is a beautiful and unique collection of Maya Angelou's writing read aloud in her distinctive and sonorous voice. Maya Angelou, poet, writer, performer, teacher, and director, was raised in Stamps, Arkansas, and then moved to San Francisco. In addition to her best-selling biographies, beginning with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, she has also written a memoir with recipes, Hallelujah! The Welcome Table; five poetry collections, including I Shall Not Be Moved and Shaker, Why Don't You Sing?; and many other celebrated poems. Editorial Reviews: She performed her most recent occassional poem "Amazing Peace" at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree. In this studio recording, the poet's voice ¿ its dark timbre ¿ has a calming effect, as it speaks of faith challenged by adversity. "On the Pulse of Morning", written for the inauguration of president Bill Clinton, explores the interconnectedness of all life. The poem features a memorable sequence in which human beings of contrasting nationalities, faiths, and races are mentioned back to back and at length to create a sense of strength through diversity and unity. Angelou's sassier, activist side is also represented in a few poems, lending a wonderful sense of balance to this listen as a whole. If you admire Angelou, or are interested in the ideal introduction to this gifted writer, start here. Members Reviews: Spoken Beauty For years I have read and heard several renditions of Dr. Angelou's poem and autobiographical works. Her writing has an incredible way of inhabiting the souls of reader, audience and artist alike. Her work is distinctly cultural and at the same time universally embracing. This Audible selection is an example of how content delivered in digitized sound can actually give an authentic voice to the artist and the voice that takes up residence in the artist. When I played this entire selection I felt as if I had a private audience with Dr. Angelou. The sung robustness of her musical references in "Pulse of the Morning", the girly glee in her 7 women poem and her sensitive, yet unapologetic, teasing directed at male listeners easily revealed the range of her artistry and wisdom.

A Way with Words IV Audiobook by Michael D. C. Drout

Drout Narrator: Michael Drout Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-09 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 171 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: In part IV of this fascinating series, Professor Drout submerses listeners in poetry's past, present, and future. Addressing such poetic luminaries as Milton,Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats, these lectures explain in simple terms what poetry is while following its development through the centuries. Members Reviews: Drout Rules! Gotta love Drout - such a great teacher. This installment of the Modern Scholar explain poetry very clearly for the uninformed (like me). Best is the explanation of iambic pentameter, meter, etc. The only problem I have is that he devoted almost a whole lecture to John Donne and spent only 4 minutes on Milton - even though the chapter was entitled Milton. But that aside - Drout still rules! Get your facts straight What would have made A Way with Words IV better? If the "professor" actually knew which poets wrote which poems What do you think your next listen will be? Nothing from this series Any additional comments? The *professor* refers to Keats THREE times when discussing Ode to the West Wind which is actually written by Shelley. Dude, get your poets straight. If you're going to lecture on a poem you should at least know who wrote it..... Interesting, not illuminating I must say it pains me to give this title only three stars, because of how thoroughly I enjoyed many of the lectures and because of what a thoughtful, engaging teacher Prof. Drout is. After having listened to the lectures, I have a much better understanding of poetic techniques such as meter and rhythm, as well as the history of poetry in English. What I don't understand that much better is the meaning in the poetry itself. Maybe I was expecting a more hand-holding approach, guiding if not line-by-line then at least stanza-by-stanza, explaining what the poet was actually saying - not just how they were saying it. He seemed to think that part was self-evident when for me it often was not. Part of the problem was just how short it was, when you're trying to look at the entire history of poetry in English. He seems to spend a lot of time just telling you how much he's leaving out. I am interested in history generally, and in the history of the English language specifically, so I was looking forward to the historical aspect. But looking back I think, for a course in "Understanding Poetry", I would've gotten more out of it if there was less of a historical aspect, and more analysis. Sparked my interest into poetry. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Would recommend to my peers because author/narrator is very passionate about subject. Which scene was your favorite? His story about the poet Lord Byron. Was A Way with Words IV worth the listening time? Definitely worth it. I love Professor Drout! I will be listening to this one several times. Listening to an hour or two a day is best in my opinion. It contains so much information its a lot to take in at once but It is so well done I can't speak highly enough of it.

Poetic License Audiobook

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Emily Dickinson) — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:44:02 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Poetic License Subtitle: 100 Poems - 100 Performers Author: Emily Dickinson, Billy Collins, William Wordsworth, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, e. e. cummings, Allen Ginsberg Narrator: Chris Sarandon, Christine Baranski, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Charles Busch, Michael York, Jason Alexander Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-26-13 Publisher: GPR Records-Spoken Word Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 64 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Why a poetry album? Easy answer: I love poetry. I love reading it. I love memorizing it. I love hearing great actors recite it. As the poet Mark Strand wrote, Ink runs from the corners of my mouth / There is no happiness like mine / I have been eating poetry. In the past, when I was full from eating, I have had the audacity to set poetry to music. But, on this audiobook, you will hear the music of the poems. Poetry unadorned. Words. Because in truth, great poetry needs nothing but a great actor, a voice as eloquent and expressive as the poem itself, to lift the poem off the page and into the heart. I have never done a project that has elicited so much enthusiasm. From the actors arriving at the studio who thanked me for inviting them to participate, "Are you kidding?" Id say, "Thank you!" to the engineers who would say, "I never got this stuff, but these guys make it so beautiful." This audiobook has been a joy from beginning to end, a true labor of love. And whenever I heard my stomach rumbling during the production process, I always knew I could find something delicious to eat in the studio. Mmmm. Yeats? That hits the spot. Members Reviews: Just the poems Mam. An enjoyable collection of poems but I preferred the Poets Corner collection by Lithgow with its mini summary of each poet and poem to give context. What's the problem with no chapter titles? Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Great collection, but frustrating with no chapter titles. Any additional comments? Why can't audible title chapters when books have them titled? Especially with a poetry collection, it would seem an obvious addition. 100 poems -No table of contents!! Any additional comments? The poems are beautifully read- but without a table of contents or guide of any sort, the listening experience is quite random. Very disappointing. Variety!! Would you listen to Poetic License again? Why? Absolutely!! It was a great listen. It had all different kinds of poems, read by different people. This made it a very fun experience. What did you like best about this story? I love the variety and the quality of the readers. Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite? I loved the reading of the The Nap Taker by Shel Silverstein. There are so many good pomes on the audio book it is definitely worth buying. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, I couldn't wait for the next poem Any additional comments? If you love poetry this is an awesome read / listen! It is an amazing selection of poems / poets with awesome readers! Needs Pausing I enjoy listening to poetry being read, but I have always valued having a moment to catch my breath before the next poem began. Most of the poems I liked, many were great and I would have loved if the device permitted to more easily play again. It was simply that poetry should be digested, better perhaps, breathed in. There was not a moment for that. If the poems had been gently separated by 10 seconds of music, they would have been easier to pause. As is, I tended to keep a finger on the pause button which interferes with listening.

Title: Chasers of the Light Subtitle: Poems from the Typewriter Series Author: Tyler Knott Gregson Narrator: Tyler Knott Gregson Format: Unabridged Length: 56 mins Language: English Release date: 04-28-15 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: The epic made simple. The miracle in the mundane. One day, while browsing an antique store in Helena, Montana, photographer Tyler Knott Gregson stumbled upon a vintage Remington typewriter for sale. Standing up and using a page from a broken book he was buying for $2, he typed a poem without thinking, without planning, and without the ability to revise anything. He fell in love. Three years and almost 1,000 poems later, Tyler is now known as the creator of the Typewriter Series: a striking collection of poems typed onto found scraps of paper or created via blackout method. Chasers of the Light features some of his most insightful and beautifully worded pieces of work - poems that illuminate grand gestures and small glimpses, poems that celebrate the beauty of a life spent chasing the light. Members Reviews: So amazing I have been following Tyler Knott on Instagram for a while now and finally got around to buying this audiobook. I am not disappointed, his work is truly amazing, and his voice adds so much depth to the poetry. A must read / listen to, for the soul Tyler writes magnificently and there's nothing like listening to the voice of any author give life to his own words, as he intended them when writing. This is a specifically passionate author and book. A must read for the soul. Would have preferred a more seasoned narrator I think it should have been done by someone with more narration experience. The poems were hit or miss. Loved the book He is a great poet. I am in love with the way he can arrange words to encase so much meaning. This book changed my life outlook.. Would you listen to Chasers of the Light again? Why? Yes. Already on my 4th time listening. Who was your favorite character and why? I enjoyed the entire experience of love without boundaries or limits. His love is above the physical world.. What does Tyler Knott Gregson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Reading a book that an author reads himself is what makes this book even more heartfelt and special. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The moment he first described seeing the typewriter and being so moved by it. Any additional comments? As a poet working on my first real love. I have published a short children's story but poetry is my love and behind disabled with not much time left at 43. Finishing my book is one of the things I get up for every morning. That you for lighting a fire in my soul again..

Basis for a PBS documentary on Johnson titled Lift Every Voice and Sing. ©1955 Viking Penguin; (P)1993 Penguin HighBridge Audio Members Reviews: Index of the poems Because these poems honor the black preachers of Johnson's memory, it's invaluable to listen to them read by similarly skilled orators, especially if you are using them in the classroom.

Preface: :40 15:30 Listen, Lord A Prayer: 15:30 18:16 The Creation: 18:30 23:57 The Prodigal Son: 24:19 31:21 Go Down Death A Funeral Sermon: 31:35 36:37 Noah Built the Ark: 36:55 45:25 The Crucifixion: 45:35 51:00 Let My People Go: 51:10 1:00:29 The Judgment Day: 1:00:40 1:06:30 Good brief history & sermon recaps Very interesting to hear some of the sermons from days gone by. I love the Word of God and love to hear how God used His servants, so I found this very interesting! Amazing Experience Any additional comments? This production of James Weldon Johnson's book of African-American sermons in verse filled me with joy. Johnson's scholarly introduction is here, as well as an opening prayer and a closing hymn. And in between! The seven glorious poems, each read by a different actor, are given all of the dignity and cadence due to them. The responses of the congregation are a treasure. I cannot think of a better example of American poetry than this book, and this recording just became my favorite way to experience it. I will come back to it again and again.

My 3-year-old granddaughter cannot stop dancing to it and I bought a second recording for my 5-year-old grandson. The piece is performed with a cute poem before each section and then repeated with just the music. This is a great addition to the library of any music lover We raised our son listening to this tape before he went to sleep at night, and I am thrilled to find it as a CD. The combination of the music and the poem by Ogden Nash is enhanced with the performances by well-known actors. This is a great addition to the library of any music lover. FANTASTIC POTENTIAL, MISGUIDED EXECUTION This presentation of Saint-Saensâs Carnival of the Animals has so much going for it, the fact that it misfires after coming so close to perfection is especially frustrating. I was looking for a recording that incorporated Ogden Nashâs totally delightful verses, even if they were written after the fact, and this one offers them presented by an absolutely dazzling cast of celebrity narrators, an amazing congregation of superstars who do full justice to the text. And one would be hard-pressed to find musicians who could serve the music betterâsister pianists Mona Golabek and Renee Golabek-Kaye play with an unerring sense of coordination, and the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra plays flawlessly under the baton of Lalo Schfrin. What screws it up is the way it has all been combined. For obscure reasons which I cannot fathom, someone made the bone-headed decision to have many of the verses spoken OVER the musicâwhich results in Nashâs poetry competing with Saint-Saensâs music rather than complementing it. The producersâone of whom was Mona Golabekâmust have been aware that something was amiss with this arrangement, because the disc provides us with two complete performances of the score, one with narration and one without. They could have spared us this redundancy if they had simply let the star speakers read each verse before the associated musical movement, in which case I would have enthusiastically given this five stars.

Beowulf Audiobook by Douglas Wilson

Title: Beowulf Author: Douglas Wilson Narrator: Douglas Wilson Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-16 Publisher: Canon Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Beowulf has been translated before, but not like this. In this faithful, but hardly wooden translation, Douglas Wilson gives listeners a taste of the heavy alliteration of Anglo-Saxon poetry. Lewis said Anglo-Saxon poetry was like "blows from a hammer" or "the repeated thunder of breakers on the beach." This recording should delight anyone who loves the sounds of words for their own sake. The essays found in the book are not included in this recording. Members Reviews: Wonderful Reading! Somewhat Poor Audio. Wilson's "rendering" is a fun read. It definitely captures the poetic style of the original in a way that most English translations do not. Wilson reads this audiobook himself, and you can tell that he put a lot of care into his reading. He reads it like a poem, rather than a book, and keeps the poetic rhythm pretty well throughout. Unfortunately, the audio quality is not great. I'm pretty sure he just set up a microphone in his office and started recording. There's a lot of scratchy background noise, and the audio sometimes "hiccups" or repeats at the chapter breaks. Still, for the translation and Wilson's reading style, this is definitely worth getting despite the flaws. The description says "This recording should delight anyone who loves the sounds of words for their own sake" and that's definitely true. The only other minor complaint is that Wilson's essays are not included here. That's a shame, because I enjoyed his commentary and insight, and it would've been nice to have those in audio form.

Our protagonist, whose breathtaking journey eerily echoes Byron's own life story, forgoes his destiny back home for the exciting unknown - the nature of humanity and the transformative effects of travel burst through the pages in four powerful cantos of Spenserian stanzas. Here is the poem that set Byron on his meteoric rise to fame in London society.

The Seasons of the Soul Audiobook by Hermann Hesse

Title: The Seasons of the Soul Subtitle: The Poetic Guidance and Spiritual Wisdom of Hermann Hesse Author: Hermann Hesse Narrator: Andrew Harvey, Ludwig Max Fischer Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-12 Publisher: Ludwig Max Fischer Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Vowing at an early age "to be a poet or nothing at all", Hermann Hesse rebelled against formal education, focusing on a rigorous program of independent study that included literature, philosophy, art, and history. One result of these efforts was a series of novels that became counterculture bibles that remain widely influential today. Another was a body of evocative spiritual poetry. Published for the first time in English, these vivid, probing short works reflect deeply on the challenges of life and provide a spiritual solace that transcends specific denominational hymns, prayers, and rituals. The Seasons of the Soul offers valuable guidance in poetic form for those longing for a more meaningful life, seeking a sense of homecoming in nature, in each stage of life, in a renewed relationship with the divine. Extensive quotations from his prose introduce each theme addressed in the book: love, imagination, nature, the divine, and the passage of time. A foreword by Andrew Harvey reintroduces us to a figure about whom some may have believed everything had already been said. Thoughtful commentary throughout from translator Ludwig Max Fischer helps readers understand the poems within the context of Hesse's life. Members Reviews: He nails it but stylistically rudimentary. Couldn't've said it better re: life/reality. I see now how much he shaped me in my formative years. Now onwards....

Angelou writes of celebrations public and private; included in this volume are a bar mitzvah wish to her nephew and a birthday greeting to Oprah Winfrey. More than a writer, Angelou is a chronicler of history, an advocate for peace, and a champion for the planet, as well as a patriot, a mentor, and a friend. To be shared and cherished, the wisdom and poetry of Maya Angelou proves there is always cause for celebration. Critic Reviews: "Listening to Maya Angelou is an intimate and inspiring experience, like having a conversation and a private poetry reading all at once." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Could Be Used as a Sermon These rituals are great and there's nothing to complain about. She could recite it in church as a testimony. very inspiring I enjoy the performance of her work as only she could.

Poesie d'amore Audiolibro di Pablo Neruda

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Pablo Neruda) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:60:46 GMT

Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su 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.

Both fresh and wise, Kay's poetry allows listeners to join her on the journey of discovering herself and the world around her. It is an honest and powerful collection. Members Reviews: The Perfect Words for Everything Youve Ever Felt I cannot thank one of my office book club buddies enough for picking this little gem. In a word, its therapeutic. Sarah masterfully revives memories of experiences that we all had, but dont quite remember how they made us feel. Its not just love and loss, but your first sighting of a jellyfish. The sound of your favorite teachers voice. The first time you saw one of your parents cry. Combined with a performance that is the perfect mix warmth, wonder, and wisdom, her words capture the magic in even the most mundane moments of her life and make you realize how much magic youve overlooked in your own. Sarah Kay does it right! "Love is finding the ocean. After spending years puddle-jumping". You can tell that each word is an earnest expression of the poets' feelings. Truly masterful. Keep it up! Great!!! I've definitely been a fan of Sarah Kay for several years now and have always loved her poetry. Listening to her speak is always very soothing and I'm glad to have purchased this audiobook. While I do enjoy her live performances, I didn't like how it broke up the studio recordings of her poetry. Overall, it was still pretty fantastic!!

For all those whove ever had trouble reading the great poet on the page, for those who love Scotland and for all the rest who like whisky, raise a mouthful of haggis to the Rabbie Burns. Featuring Adress to a Haggis, 'Tam o'Shanter', 'My Love Is Like a Red, Red, Rose', 'Holy Willie's Prayer', and 'To a Mouse'. Members Reviews: Good for listening; poor navigation What I liked: Every year I read a Robert Burns poem at a Burns supper. It's hard for me to get the accent right because I'm not a native speaker of Scots English. Listening to this recording of Alex Norton was very helpful to get the pronunciation and cadence. I think I gave my best performance yet! A nice selection of poems, including a couple of the less famous ones, elegies and such. What I'd change: I wish there were a table of contents and a way to navigate easily to chapters (tracks) other than just clicking "next." I had to listen to the whole thing to write my own table of contents (track list). For an anthology like this (not a traditional book with chapters that follow in order), it was really a disadvantage. Here's the track listing: 1. To a Haggis 2. Of A' The Airts The Wind Can Blaw 3. Rantin' Rovin' Robin 4. Green Grow the Rushes O 5. A man's a man for a' that 6. To a mountain daisy 7. Scots Wha Hae 8. Auld Lang Syne 9. Epitaph on a Wag in Mauchline 10. Jon Anderson My Jo 11. O Whistle, and I'll come to ye, my lad 12. Fareweel To A'Our Scottish Fame 13. The Deil's Awa' wi' th'Exciseman 14. Rattlin' Roarin' Willie 15. To a mouse 16. Holy Willie's Prayer 17. To a Louse 18. On Seeing a Wounded Hare 19. On the birth of a posthumous child 20. Epitaph of the Poet's Daughter 21. My love is like a red, red rose 22. Afton Water 23. Ae Fond Kiss 24. Go fetch tae me a pint o' wine 25. Ye Banks And Braes O'Bonnie Doon 26. Tam O' Shanter If I were assembling an anthology like this to record, I'd stick to the poems that are not songs; it feels very forced to listen to song lyrics (such as "Auld Lang Syne" or "Rantin' Rovin' Robin") spoken instead of sung. I'd also lose the "atmospheric" bagpipes and other sound effects. I know it's Scottish without that! ;^)

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Pablo Neruda, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, finished writing The Captain's Verses in 1952 while in exile on the island of Capri - the paradisiacal setting for the blockbuster film Il Postino (The Postman). Surrounded by sea, sun, and Capri's natural splendors, Neruda addressed these poems to his lover, Matilde Urrutia, before they were married, but he didn't publish them publicly until 1963.

Every word, carefully chosen, become beacons and messages to those who value eros, as well as agape. What a world of beauty, passion, sensuality, and reverence comes shining through these poems that dance with an inner light, long after the reading is done. I was captivated and engaged, hanging onto every word as if they were silvery moons dangled in front of me across the black carpet of night sky in that siren's call that love's quest has not passed away from those who honor and acknowledge it. My mind ate up these poems like summer peaches and digested them into my soul. What a different tear arises from the realization of the poet's deep understanding and care for love's fragile existence. Proof that you cannot create art without science, electrons carried me here and carried me away into the splendor of this poetry. The poems' words spread out in my mind like validation that love is the one true thing. I feel a kindred spirit with those who read and appreciated these heartfelt and meaningful poems. Every accolade is deserved for this remarkable collection of love poetry. Five stars are not enough to say thank you for translating these touching poems into English. I was greatly moved in a way that gives me hope for the world. -- Eve Paludan, romance author Neruda at his best. In my studied opinion, this is probably Neruda's best book, i.e., collection. The Spanish is included with the English, the translation is excellent, the print and lay-out are clear. These poems have both delicacy and power. They will bestir, becalm, and sometimes sanctify. It's a good poetry book I think the translation could be better (in my non professional opinion) with the few poems I've read so far. Overall I am pleased with this edition and these poems. I like practicing my Spanish with them. Five Stars Love it. Nice, but not my kind of poet Quite long and repetitive. Occasionally something truly beautiful. I really liked some of his earth imagery. Itâs not really my kind of poetry.

Members Reviews: Superb for relaxation! I was so surprised this collection served a dual purpose - not only by providing a beautiful collection of poems to listen to by an exceptional group of readers, but it also is extremely relaxing, having the capability of virtually transporting you to another time and place. Highly recommend it! Like a symphony during a hike in the woods What did you love best about Poets of Nature? I love the outdoors but can't always get away - these audio poems are a similar experience and can be listened to over and over Any additional comments? Some of the female voices were too breathy/overly dramatic for me, but overall I feel I couldn't have made a better choice o.m.g. Bought this for late nite listening. And, o.m.g.... it's like falling asleep to the most idyllic, comforting, lullaby. i Love it! Good poetry, relaxing music, voices are so-so I like the poetry, and the music adds a soothing element to the poems. However, I do not think the narrators voices add to the soothing effect; I do not like the voices. An evocative collection Beautifully read, but..... A great shame that the chapter list does not state the poem being read, the poet or the narrator

I, Too, Sing America Audiobook by Catherine Clinton

Title: I, Too, Sing America Subtitle: Three Centuries of African American Poetry Author: Catherine Clinton Narrator: Ashley Bryan, Renee Joshua-Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-14-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Starting with Lucy Terry of the early 18th century and finishing with poet laureate Rita Dove, this anthology edited by Catherine Clinton captures the talent and passion of black poets. Powerful and diverse, I, Too, Sing America is a forum for voices baring their souls, speaking their minds, tracing their roots, and proclaiming their dreams. Members Reviews: Rolling over in their graves-- The entire pantheon of African American poets are rolling over in their graves. Those included in this work who happen to be alive are most likely wishing death. I rarely comment on works of art, especially negative, but these over-the-top, comical, borderline disrespectful spoken renderings of some of the most well-known, well-loved and powerful poetry by African American poets drove me to the keyboard before I have even finished the book. I wanted to do it quickly before some other poor sap fell victim to these performances. I rarely return books, either, but this one is going back. I would ask that the performers who read these works out loud, or those who directed them, to go back and listen to what they've done, and perhaps familiarize themselves on how to read poetry out loud. The power in poetry is in the words the authors have painstakingly selected to convey meaning. The power belongs to the meter, the rhyme, the metaphors and other devices that authors have labored over for hours, days, weeks, months and sometimes years. Power is not derived from the voice that happens to be reading it out loud! There is no need for cringe-worthy shouting, elongated annunciations, and almost sobbing, slobbering phrasing. There is no reason to read Claude McKay's "White House" as if you suddenly remembered that you had to go to the bathroom while you were walking across hot coals! Did Churchill read it that way? I haven't heard him, and will go look it up, but I don't think so! Dunbar's "We Wear the Mask" needs nothing but a sober, thoughtful reading. Let the words and the art speak for themselves. And finally, there is no reason to elongate the word "soar" as if you are singing, and raise your voice to ear splitting levels. You say "soar" calmly with a little emphasis, maybe, and believe it or not, we can imagine soaring. If I could give this book less than 1 star for performance, well, you know the rest...

It tells of a distraught young man who, while lamenting the loss of his lover, Lenore, is visited by a talking raven, adding a supernatural element to an already mysterious experience. The story traces the man's slow, sorrowful descent into madness. This edition of The Raven includes historical information about the author and the story. Members Reviews: classic I have always enjoyed this. I remember reading this several times in school. I want to get more classics. Masterpiece To write a review of The Raven can be summed up in one word: PERFECTION I remember the very first time I read this poem in school...I was spellbound. The narration offered here does an excellent job of capturing the essence of the eerie and troubling nature of Poes characters decent into heartbreaking madness over his tragic loss. The background enhancements are just right as is the music. I highly recommend this rendition of this literary masterpiece.

Title: Brand New Ancients Author: Kate Tempest Narrator: Kate Tempest Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 03-10-14 Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Winner of the Ted Hughes Prize for innovation in poetry. Kate Tempest is one of the most exciting and innovative performers to have emerged in spoken-word poetry in many years; her dramatic poem "Brand New Ancients" won the prestigious Ted Hughes Prize for innovation in poetry. Tempest's wholly unique blend of street poetry, rap, and storytelling - combined with the spellbinding delivery of an open-air revivalist - has won her legions of followers all over the UK. Her remarkable stage presence is wholly audible in this poem, a spoken story written to be told with live music. "Brand New Ancients" is the tale of two families and their intertwining lives, set against the background of the city and braided with classical myth. Here, Tempest shows how the old myths still live on in our everyday acts of violence, bravery, sacrifice and love - and that our lives make tales no less dramatic and powerful than those of the old gods . Members Reviews: An extraordinary experience What made the experience of listening to Brand New Ancients the most enjoyable? More -- much more -- than a reading or a narration, Kate Tempest has produced, along with her musicians, audio performance art of a kind unique in the annals of audible. What other book might you compare Brand New Ancients to and why? Is it rap? Is it chant? Is it a song? It is epic and so rightly musical and mythic. As the title suggests, this book is Homeric. Which character as performed by Kate Tempest was your favorite? We are meant to love Tommy and Glory . . . And I did. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It's been a long time since I have bothered to write a review at audible -- not that I haven't enjoyed most of the volumes in my library. But Brand New Ancients demanded I make my reaction public. It is the single best audio book I have ever heard. Amazing new talent This girl has something to say and I feel so deeply moved and honored to have the privilege to listen. I will not see the world the same having listened -- that is true art; that is what makes us gods. A whole new (he)art Must must must listen. True. Piercing. Full. I hope this is the whole new future of heartfelt poetry. Amazing. Brilliant, Captivating. What did you love best about Brand New Ancients? Everything. Kate Tempest has amazing insight into what it is to be alive. For someone as young and as relatively new to poetry as she is, her work is second=to-none. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely. Any additional comments? I was introduced to Kate Tempest through her album "Everybody Down", which is an outstanding piece musical art. I listened to the album in it's entirety 3 or 4 times in a row and it is still on my playlist. Of you have every felt, lost, alone, confused, happy, in love, depressed, or any of the myriad other human emotions, I STRONGLY recommend both the album and this collection of her poetry. A superb performance but why the music? As usual, Kate Tempest gives a powerful rendition of her most famous work. However, in my opinion, the music is irritating and unnecessary.

The Great Poets: Robert Browning Audiobook by Robert Browning

Title: The Great Poets: Robert Browning Author: Robert Browning Narrator: David Timson, Patience Tomlinson Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 11-17-10 Publisher: Naxos Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Robert Brownings popular poems "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" and "How They Brought the Good News" are often anthologised, but it is in his dramatic lyrics such as "My Last Duchess" and the chilling "Porphyrias Lover" that his poetic genius shines. Browning, with his unusual use of language, can be a challenging poet, but one who is always rewarding. This selection shows the many imaginative facets of this often neglected Victorian poet. Members Reviews: Bright Light What made the experience of listening to The Great Poets: Robert Browning the most enjoyable? The enthusiasm of the narration. What other book might you compare The Great Poets: Robert Browning to and why? Poets such as Alfred Lord Tennyson & William Wadsworth even his wife Elizabeth. All of them highlight challenging diction, syntax and try to form a social commentary in ironic prose. Would you listen to another book narrated by David Timson and Patience Tomlinson ? I enjoyed Patience Tomlinson better than I had Mr. Timson , she had much more movement and depth of feeling, a life for the work if you will. I found David Timson's reading to be rushed and not in a good way to convey the work more in a way to get the lines in on a timeline. It personally took away from my enjoyment of the piece for me. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It is thought provoking work meant for reaction. Browning highlights irony, characterizations, wrapped up in dark humor, he taps social commentary, historical settings, quilted in challenging vocabulary and diction. Excellent, brief review Where does The Great Poets: Robert Browning rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the terms of classics, Robert Browning is one to cherish. This audiobook does his work service in terms of narration, quality of sound, and choices of material. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Great Poets: Robert Browning? "My Last Duchess" is definitely memorable, but also featured some lesser known works: -"Pippa's Song" from his verse drama, Pippa Passes -"Home-Thoughts, From Abroad" a brief verse on his comparison of home (England) to overseas travel -"Evelyn Hope", a poem on a young woman's passing -Porphyrias Lover, a poem on a man killing his young lover, Prophyria, after she rejects the conventions of the time (sexual morals) and he wishes to preserve the moment forever. -"The Laboratory", a poem based on the real case of a woman poisoning her entire family -"The Lost Leader", a poem which berates William Wordsworth, for what Browning considered his desertion of the liberal cause, and his lapse from his high idealism.

Seeds Planted in Concrete Audiobook by Bianca Sparacino

Title: Seeds Planted in Concrete Author: Bianca Sparacino Narrator: Bianca Sparacino Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-16 Publisher: Thought Catalog Books Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Seeds Planted in Concrete is Bianca Sparacino's raw testament to the beauty that is found within the contrasts of life. Speaking truthfully about the intricacies of both love and loss, Sparacino's first collection of work will speak to the very depths of those who hear it, inspiring a will to love and live. This collection is a manifesto of the journey every human being takes throughout life - an assembly of words that celebrates the resilience of the human heart through stages of hurting, feeling, healing, and loving. Members Reviews: amazing it was the most incredible set of insights I've ever heard. i really loved it.. Inspiring Absolutely inspiring ! Must read, if you're self doubting yourself this is the book for you. Charming What does Bianca Sparacino bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I first found Bianca Sparacino reading a poem on video via Thought Catalog. This is the first audiobook Ive heard and/or purchased. I took a chance on the narration instead of physically reading a book because the poets video displayed a pleasing voice. I do not think a review would do justice without quotations from her poetry. Here are a few: I am willing to trust You were made to endure But rather, we love because we have someones else blood within our veins. Do not hide your wounds. Im writing this to say Im sorry. Im poison the I love, so this is my confession. May you dip your wings in ink so that your words fall from the sky Promise me you wont run back to what cracked you Take your life back from any negativity within it. Let that girl know she inspires you. Each of Biancas poems arrives in this book as life reminders; the most truthful and questionable thoughts we all have within us, deep in the brain and/or heart. Furthermore, Bianca encourages us to have patience in life and wait for it. Whatever you truly feel you deserve, wait for it. (On a side note, when Bianca exclaims my God, it is quite charming.) Lastly, this poet leaves us to focus on the beauty, and turn love into an openness for a soulmate that does exist.

Message Audiobook by Fernando Pessoa

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. Members Reviews: Fantastic Another excellent performance by Guy Bethell. His dulcet voice delivers with a poise and grace which reveals and clarifies esoteric elements of the book.

Aimless Love Audiobook by Billy Collins

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. Members Reviews: the audio version is abridged. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Liked the poem "Divorce." Any additional comments? It should be noted that the audio has 53 poems while Collins' book contains well over a 100 poems. That said, the selection here is great just wished it carried all the poems the book has. Also, if you are trying to read along with the book then it could get a bit tedious since the poems on the audio are not in the same order in the book, so be prepared for lots of flipping back and forth between the table of contents then for the page number. In Love with Aimless Love Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I own this book in hard cover, but a visual reading cannot compare with hearing it read by Billy Collins himself. Beginning with the first poem, "The Country" (my favorite humorous poem in the book) and ending with "The Names" written (for the victims of September 11th and their survivors) this book of poetry illustrates the wide scope of Billy Collins poetic gift. It is profound, witty, ironic, and memorable.

Crow Audiobook by Ted Hughes

Title: Crow Subtitle: From the Life and Songs of the Crow Author: Ted Hughes Narrator: Ted Hughes Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 06-02-16 Publisher: Faber & Faber Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: From his remarkable debut The Hawk in the Rain (1957) to his death in 1998, Ted Hughes was a colossal presence in the English literary landscape. He was also admired as a performer of his own work. Crow is one of his most significant collections, focusing on the central figure of the crow - predatory, mocking and indestructible. Crow is read here by the author in its entirety and with narrative links not included in the published text. Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire. The Hawk in the Rain was published by Faber and Faber and was followed by many volumes of poetry and prose for adults and children, including Moortown Diary (1979). He received the Whitbread Book of the Year for both Tales from Ovid (1997) and Birthday Letters (1998). He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit. Critic Reviews: "Each fresh encounter with despair becomes the occasion for a separate, almost funny, story in which natural forces and creatures, mythic figures, even parts of the body, act out their special roles, each endowed with its own irrepressible life. With Crow, Hughes joins the select band of survivor-poets whose work is adequate to the destructive reality we inhabit." (A. Alvarez, Observer) "Nobody will be able to read or write verse now without the black shape of Crow falling across the page." (Peter Porter, The Guardian) Members Reviews: Masterpiece to Listen to and Read Crow read by Ted Hughes himself. What more could you want? I loved the commentary between poems giving more of an insight into the purpose and meaning of each.

The Blissful Longing of Rumi Audiobook by Jalal ad-Din Rumi

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.

Title: Lunch Poems Author: Frank O'Hara Narrator: Matthew Weiner Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 36 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Frank O'Hara was a pioneering modern American poet and playwright - an art critic, a musician, and a curator at the Museum of Modern Art - who defined New York City in its post-WWII heyday. For many these poems defined the city's midcentury zeitgeist. Lawrence Ferlinghetti, in remarks on the 50th anniversary edition, said that the poems "established a certain tone, a certain turn of phrase, a certain urbane wit, at once gay and straight, that came to identify the New York school of poets in the 1960s and '70s". O'Hara's wit and cool inspired the creator of AMC's hit television show Mad Men decades later - and writer Matthew Weiner performs the poet's work with charm and reverence, adding his own unique spin on the classic material. Critic Reviews: "Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems, the little black dress of American poetry books, redolent of cocktails and cigarettes and theater tickets and phonograph records, turns 50 this year. It seems barely to have aged.... This is a book worth imbibing again, especially if you live in Manhattan, but really if you're awake and curious anywhere. O'Hara speaks directly across the decades to our hopes and fears and especially our delights; his lines are as intimate as a telephone call. Few books of his era show less age." (Dwight Garner, The New York Times) Members Reviews: He asked listeners to vote for the 10 objects that best tell NYC's story ... Leonard Lopate, a regular on the public radio station WNYC, was inspired by the BBC series and associated bookA History of the World in 100 Objects. He asked listenders to vote for the 10 objects that best tell New York's story --- from its first days to 2012. Item number 6, just behind the 18th century ship excavated from the WTC site in 2010 and just ahead of the Brooklyn Bridge, wasLunch Poemsby Frank O'Hara. I was very surprised, frankly; I had heard and actually seen all of the other items on the list, but this small collection was totally new to me. The Associate Producer of the show, Steven Valentino, was also surprised. "It was slightly surprising that Frank O'Hara's 1964 collection Lunch Poems came in at number six on our list, but it turns out to be a very good way of looking at New York City. As NYU professor Lytle Shaw, author of the bookFrank O'Hara: The Poetics of Coterieexplains: 'Lunch Poemsis a condensed and highly accessible book that is smaller than a subway map.' That feature makes it easy to take the book anywhere.

One of the New Yorker's Books We Loved in 2016 What emerges is an infinite series of false endings - each a trap door containing the possibility for alchemy, rebirth, and renewal. Part elegy, part confessional, part battle cry, Last Sext confronts both eternal longing and the mystery of mortality, with language hot, primal, and dark, as Broder's fans have come to love.

KG Mitglieder Bewertungen: Five Stars Schiller was one of the best know authors ever, and his writings, the say, equals that of Goethe. I'm not sure i'd recommend this unless you have very good German I'm not sure i'd recommend this unless you have very good German. The classical vocabulary is hard, but there is enough heart on sleeve theatricality to keep one absorbed. It's a bit like giving the bible 2 stars, but this assessment is made as someone who is definitely not bilingual, but has reasonable German. By the way, I think that the Verdi opera "I Masnadieri" is based on this play. excellent I find it very usefull! I like it very much! And I read it with plesure, It is very handy! DO NOT BUY THIS. IT IS NOT A GENUINE ARTICLE. Right in the very beginning, before this "play" even begins, is the wrong date of publication. The book was published in 1781 and first performed in 1782. This is not a genuine article. They don't show the date here, because it's wrong. Their spelling and grammar are also quite off. I trusted these people to have ethics, but I guess they don't. As a German Studies major, I find this quite unpleasant and offensive. Do not buy this. Kaufen Sie dieses "Schauspiel" nicht. Es gibt nur ein Wort für den Scheiß hier: Enttäuschung.

Love Poems Audiobook by Pablo Neruda

Title: Love Poems Author: Pablo Neruda Narrator: Armando Durán Format: Unabridged Length: 38 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Sensual, earthy love poems that formed the basis for the popular movie Il Postino, now in a beautiful gift book perfect for weddings, Valentine's Day, anniversaries, or just to say "I love you!" Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems are the most celebrated of the Nobel Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating listeners with earthbound images and reveling in a fiery reimagining of the world. Mostly written on the island paradise of Capri (the idyllic setting of the Oscar-winning movie Il Postino), Love Poems embraces the seascapes surrounding the poet and his love, Matilde Urrutia, their waves and shores saturated with a new, yearning eroticism. Members Reviews: Durán exceptional as voice of Neruda I haven't ventured into poetry before, apart from a bit of Shakespeare, but this is awesome & was a great place to start. It's beautiful, often heart-melting and occasionally very funny (check out The Insect). It's a very accessible introduction to poetry from the pen of a Nobel Laureate. I have no idea how one translates poetry into another language while retaining the meaning, the meter and the rhyme. Donald D Walsh has worked a kind of magic here. Meanwhile Durán's performance is outstanding. His understanding of the flow of each poem makes it easy for a first time reader to consume and he's an absolute pleasure to listen to. As much as Neruda's writing & Walsh's translation, Durán makes this collection an unforgettable joy. I'm definitely going to re-read this again, more than once.

The Raven (Golden Deer Classics) Audiobook by Edgar Allen Poe

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Edgar Allen Poe) — Fri, 24 Nov 2017 18:30:31 GMT

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. 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 Members Reviews: And the book is still sitting, still is sitting, on my shelf. "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting." The great classic, with some illustrations, background, and other text. It's fund to read and fun to hear. Scary and chilling in its own unique way. I bought this to read to my kid, she loves it. And the book is still sitting, still is sitting, on my shelf. This was great since it was free This was great since it was free. I thought the introduction was a little too long but you can't beat the price and it is easy to just skip ahead if you want. It was a great way to begin reading Edgar Allan Poe's classics without the price commitment. Disturbing and Engrossing "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before..." "The Raven" is about loss of a loved one and will stick with you, maybe even haunt your dreams for a few nights. I picked up the Kindle version for free and I was instantly reminded why this is one of my favorite poems. (There is a long preface before it, which I found interesting. But if you just want to read the poem, you can use the index and click on "The Poem.") The prose sings like a bird, like its name, the Raven, which only says one word, "Nevermore." The protagonist on whom the Raven spies loses his grip on reality; he is grief-stricken over the loss of his beloved Lenore. "But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered--not a feather then he fluttered--Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before-- On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before." Then the bird said, "Nevermore." The bottom line: "The Raven" is a quick, rythmic, brilliant, disturbing, engrossing poem. -Raeden Zen nice cadence to it and I certainly appreciate that It's alright, kinda short, of course. I'll pick it up a half-a-dozen times more before I really fully appreciate it, I'm sure. I mean, it is Edgar Allan Poe, who am I to judge? I don't think I'm that into poetry at this point, but I'm sure it'll sink in, just takes me a while.

Billy Collins Live Audiobook by Billy Collins

Title: Billy Collins Live Subtitle: A Performance at the Peter Norton Symphony Space, April 20, 2005 Author: Billy Collins Narrator: Billy Collins Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 08-17-05 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 226 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Performed by the author at Peter Norton Symphony Space in New York City, Billy Collins reads 24 of his poems, including "Dharma", a spiritual yet humbling ode to man's best friend, "The Lanyard", an amusing recollection about the popular, if not pointless, summer camp pastime, and "Consolation", a tongue-in-cheek reflection of a cancelled European trip, and the benefits of staying home instead. In addition to the poetry readings, Collins also spends some time in a brief question and answer session where he reflects on what makes good poetry, his own process of reaching his audiences as a poet, the success of his Poetry 180 programs in schools nationwide, and an amusing sidebar on his memories growing up as an only child. At times pensive and sardonic, amusing and subtly sarcastic, Billy Collins Live celebrates both the simple and the complex in a language that appeals to all. Editorial Reviews: Why we think it's Essential: If you prefer your poetry dry, stale and dusty, stay clear of this program. However, if you prefer it to be warm, funny, and exciting, you are in luck. Or, if you don't know if you like poetry, I can assure you, you will enjoy Collins' accessible work. This former poet laureate offers such a wonderful performance that he upstages the introductory banter by comedian Bill Murray. Beth Anderson Members Reviews: Does Not Get Better Than This I can't say enough. Well, I could but I would have to write for years. This is "poetry" that EVERYONE will enjoy, and I would highly recommend for teens and children; it will appeal to them not only on a humorous level, but it is without guile and pretense--it relates on a personal level with every one. My husband ABHORS poetry (except for some ditty about a man from Nantucket) and he listened to the whole performance after I had him listen to the dog poem (guaranteed to have every dog owner chuckling). In few precise words, Mr. Collins can be silly and fun, then powerfully emotional and personal. Former poet laureate, Billy Collins, is a national treasure. *My review has already been longer than most of his poems. He actually outshines Bill Murray Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I have recommended this book to everyone I know who has an Audilbe Account. I love it. It's funny and very well done. What did you like best about this story? The humor. Billy Collins is so funny. Have you listened to any of Billy Collinss other performances before? How does this one compare? Bi, Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It makes you laugh from beginning to the end. Any additional comments? Get this. You won't be disappointed. The only slight negative is that it is short. Modern Poetry Although a short listen, it is full and rich with Billy Collins' modern, yet common-man poetry. The introduction by Bill Murray and the wit and homor of Billy Collins is an hour of real enjoyment. If you are not aware of Billy Collins poetry, this is a great sampler. If you are a Billy Collins fan, you'll want to have this in your collection. Now, this is poetry! Billy Collins is wonderful. I have downloaded 2 of his performances, but this is the best, by far.

The Sunday Sessions Audiobook by Philip Larkin

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Sunday Sessions Author: Philip Larkin Narrator: Philip Larkin Format: Unabridged Length: 46 mins Language: English Release date: 10-29-15 Publisher: Faber & Faber Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: A collection of Larkin's best-known poems, read by the poet. The Sunday Sessions consists of 26 poems, the contents of two tapes recorded by Philip Larkin in Hull in February 1980 - reportedly each on a Sunday, after lunch with John Weeks, a sound engineer and colleague of the poet. The tapes, which contain work from Larkin's first major collection, The North Ship, as well as poems from his best-known collections, The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows, remained "lost" for over two decades, lying on a shelf in the garage in which they had been recorded. Since their rediscovery they have been the subject of widespread media attention, including a BBC Radio 4 Archive Hour documentary. Their contents are here published in full for the first time. Larkin's reading captures each poem with great clarity of speech and with a plainness which serves only to enhance the work. The Sunday Sessions presents a remarkable overview of Larkin's writing career, but above all it is to be heard for the pleasure it offers, and for the opportunity it provides to encounter Larkin's work afresh. Critic Reviews: "[Larkin] is a fine, illuminating reader, springing the surprise of little surges of lyricism amid the colloquial observations of provincial life." (Carole Mansur, Daily Telegraph) "They are relaxed readings, a self-selected 'retrospective' in which one senses that Larkin has chosen poems of which he is particularly fond. He sounds less self-conscious than in more official recordings, perhaps lubricated by a good lunch, perhaps happy not to have an audience, with all its coughs and chair-scrapes and visual distractions. He includes the singingly Yeatsian Within the dream you said from his first collection The North Ship, published when he was only 23, and before he discovered the dryly sardonic voice of Mr Bleaney and Vers de Societe. But he ends with a return to romance: the magnificent 'An Arundel Tomb' - 'What will survive of us is love'." (The Times) Members Reviews: Philip Larkin, poet extraordinaire. This was shipped to me from Great Britain. It arrived post haste, was nicely packaged, and I immediately popped it into my car's CD player. The poet has a definite dark side, and this particular CD deals with the subject of death and dying. That's alright, I appreciate his thoughts on the subject, which are thought provoking, and I favor his deep voice, which sounds as though he is speaking only to you in the confines of a closed, and musty room. Love, love, love Sigh. I love Philip Larkin even if he was something of a troll as a person. His writing is brilliant, and there's nothing like hearing his poems read in his own voice. There really should be more audiobooks of contemporary poetry read by contemporary poets. We're lucky this recording was made before he died. Larkin Reading Larkin! If you like Philip Larkin's poetry, you will love this CD. I have always maintained that no one reads a poem quite the way the author does, and Mr. Larkin certainly does not disappoint as he reads twenty-six of his poems. (The tapes were recorded in 1980 but were discovered twenty years later on a shelf in the garage where they were recorded.

Buy this book and you will not be disappointed. The book is a bit small though. It is about the size of your hand completely spread out. even though it is small, I am very pleased. Thank you sarah kay for being amazing. Inspiration from Parent to Daughter Great words which are inspirational for a kid. The pictures are lacking for a child, as there is no color. some of my fav quotes: âLife will hit you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.â "...donât you ever apologize for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining." "âBecause thereâs nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times itâs sent away.â " âI have seen the best of you, and the worst of you, and I choose both." I first saw Sarah Kay perform this poem at the Ted conference and instantly fell in love with it I bought this book when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. She is 2 months old now and I read it to her all the time! I first saw Sarah Kay perform this poem at the Ted conference and instantly fell in love with it!

It's a wonderful gift for girls or women of any age (especially mothers and daughters). Highly recommend. Emotional Feast A touching poem, "B" is about the bonds between mothers and their daughters. I've read the poem and watched the video several times. The poem is very sentimental and it pulls at your heart strings. It may seem short before you experience it, but it packs quite an emotional wallop. It's a mother sharing with her daughter how the world operates, and yet it is full of hope.

Title: I Want Burning Subtitle: The Ecstatic World of Rumi, Hafiz, and Lalla Author: Coleman Barks Narrator: Coleman Barks Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-15 Publisher: Sounds True Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: Ecstatic Sufi Poetry Comes Alive To fully experience the ecstatic poetry of the Middle and Near East, you must hear it as originally intended: stirred ablaze by inspired music and rhythms before a live audience. In I Want Burning, Coleman Barks fuses his passionate scholarship with a deep feeling for the poetry of Rumi, Hafiz (a 14th-century Sufi mystic, called "one of the jewels in the necklace of Persian poetry"), and Lalla (an exquisite Kashmiri female poet of the 14th century). Includes more than 50 translations of this rare and moving work, accompanied by vocals, Peruvian flute, harmonium, and other instruments. Members Reviews: I love Rumi and Coleman Barks interpretation. To the ones who criticize this work : all I have to say is most of us who are listening to this CD are westerners and it is easier for us to appreciate something we can relate to. So if Barks work tinges Rumi with the West, it brings Rumi closer to our comprehension. You cannot appreciate what you cannot relate to. So bravo Mr. Barks for bringing the beauty of the East to our grasp.

Step into the realm of Mr. Slice - he has left the door open for you - and take a look at the world through eyes that never sleep, where vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and lost robots roam. Members Reviews: "Mommie dearest in a skin tight dress, a sultry witch, her passion tense". Short darker fantasy stories in poem format. They are all very clever and well written. One story delves into a human trait that is deep in our DNA, and are how it is not always reliable, fear. If you are into the realm of the dark side and fantasy for use in evening out your true human self. This little gem of poetry is definitely a must read. So refreshing to have a genre written so eloquently and put out in poem form. What a delight! I appreciate Mr. Pate letting me delve into the dark creative poetry that resides inside his brain. I think you will too.

Each one of us will have similar memories of the glitter and the emotions of this time of innocence, plenty, fun, anticipation, and excitement. ©2007 Naxos Rights International; (P)2007 Naxos Rights International Members Reviews: A Child's Christmas in Wales The narrator doesn't do a bad job, BUT HE IS NOT DYLAN THOMAS. Only Thomas can give his work a deeper understanding of the wonderful words. Of course in may be Thomas' accent. Wonderful Christmas Story Timeless classic worth a listen ar Christmas or any time. Dylan was a masterful descriptive writer. Nope A very abridged version of the original. I have heard much better renditions of the WHOLE story. myreview Would you try another book from Dylan Thomas and/or Philip Madoc? Yes. The unabridged version. And I would also like to try, Under Milkwood. If youve listened to books by Dylan Thomas before, how does this one compare? First time listener. Have you listened to any of Philip Madocs other performances before? How does this one compare? No. Could you see A Child's Christmas in Wales (from the Naxos Audiobook 'A Family Christmas') being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? It already has been made into a movie, very good. Any additional comments? The longer version is much better. But this one is excellent for the price.

Escritora mexicana. Fue la mayor figura de las letras hispanoamericanas del siglo XVII. Niña prodigio, aprendió a leer y escribir a los tres años, y a los ocho escribió su primera loa. Pese a la fama de que gozaba, en 1667 ingresó en un convento de las carmelitas descalzasde México, y permaneció en él cuatro meses, al cabo de los cuales lo abandonó por problemas de salud. Dos años más tarde entró en un convento de la Orden de San Jerónimo, esta vez definitivamente. Dada su escasa vocación religiosa, parece que sor Juana Inés de la Cruz prefirió el convento al matrimonio para poder seguir gozando de sus aficiones intelectuales. Murió mientras ayudaba a sus compañeras enfermas durante la epidemia de cólera que asoló México en el año 1695. La poesía del Barroco alcanzó con ella su momento culminante, y al mismo tiempo introdujo elementos analíticos y reflexivos que anticipaban a los poetas de la Ilustración del siglo XVIII. Sus obras completas se publicaron en España en tres volúmenes: Inundación castálida de la única poetisa, musa décima, sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1689), Segundo volumen de las obras de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1692) y Fama y obras póstumas del Fénix de México (1700). Poemas en este Audiolibro: "Detente sombra", "Redondillas", "Finjamos que soy feliz", "Pues estoy condenada", "Esta tarde mi bien", "Estos versos lector mío", "Ya que para despedirme", "Dime vencedor rapaz", "Cogiome sin prevención", "Este amoroso tormento", "Verde embeleso", "La sentencia del justo", "Nacimiento de Cristo", "Dia de comunión", "Letras para cantar".

Members Reviews: Not for Poetry Snobs. Full Listing in Review. This collection grew on me, and the narration is very very good. I delayed reviewing this since I was initially disappointed/bemused with the selection and did not wish to dash off an unfair review. This does not have anything by John Donne or Dylan Thomas (for example), and nothing more recent than WH Davies (maybe the only living poet included). Some poets have more than one poem (the editor clearly is fond of Wilfred Owen as five are included). It is arranged in themes, and within the themes I felt the juxtaposition of the choices was a bit unique (e.g. blithely mixing centuries/wars). However, I found myself choosing to listen to this anthology a fair few times and really appreciate the narration. For example the profoundly sad Strange Meeting (by Owen) stands out for me.

Hier in der Nacherzählung von Barbara Kindermann. Und so mancher dürfte beim Hören verblüfft feststellen: Es ist ein Werk, das sich seinen herausgehobenen Status bis heute durchaus zu Recht bewahrt hat. Ein Werk zugleich, das sich leider allzu vielen verschließt, weil sich ihnen der zeitgemäße Zugang nicht eröffnet. Dieses Hörbuch liefert endlich Abhilfe: Die Nacherzählung zeigt, wie spannend, unterhaltsam und zugleich aktuell und gedankentief der Klassiker tatsächlich ist. Goethes Geschichte vom Pakt des zugleich nach Wissen, Erkenntnis und Glück suchenden Faust mit dem Teufel. Ein herrliches Hörbuch für Jung und Alt, von Hans Eckardt sehr lebendig, ausdrucksstark und geistreich gelesen - so macht große Weltliteratur für alle Generationen nicht nur Spaß, sondern erschließt sich in ihrer bewegenden Tiefe auch für jedermann! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (das "von" wurde ihm erst 1782 verliehen) wurde am 28. August 1749 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und starb am 22. März 1832 in Weimar. Goethe war ein Universalgenie. Er war gleichermaßen Dichter, Schriftsteller, Kunstkritiker, Philosoph, Naturwissenschaftler, Jurist und Staatsmann. Goethe ist die Lichtgestalt der deutschen Literatur. Er prägte Sturm und Drang sowie zusammen mit Schiller die Weimarer Klassik. Sein Werk umfasste unzählige Gedichte, Dramen und Prosawerke. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Mitglieder Bewertungen: abridged version for children this audio book, advertised together with the Kindle text is not the reading of the text but an abridged version for children. my rating is so low because it is erroneously advertised

Eminescu nu înseamna doar Luceafarul, Scrisoarea a III-a, Somnoroase pasarele sau Pe lînga plopii fara sos. E mult mai mult si e altfeldecât l-am fixat în memoria noastra. E grav, dar se si joaca, e trist, dar poate fi si binedispus, e solemn si profetic, dar poate sa fie si ironic sau plictisit. Asta am încercat sa arat prin versurile pe care am ales sa le citesc pentru dumneavoastra." (Andrei PLESU) Please note: This audiobook is in Romanian. (P)2014 Humanitas

Narrated by Glenn Hascall. Members Reviews: Three Stars Cute book very small didn't realize or read that it was that small for $12. Not enough stars for this poem This poem is a fascinating example of the poetic genius of Poe. While it is often thought of as a poem for younger readers, anyone who appreciates the subtle tragedy that is Poe will be deeply moved by this piece - in fact, only a muture reader can fully appreciate all of its' complexity. A must for any fan of Poe, good poetry, American literature, or just plain good writing. Furthermore, you don't have to be a scholar to appreciate this one. Its' appeal is universal, and its' understandability is high. It's just a darn good read. Lovely!!! There is nothing outstanding about this book, but more the poem within it. Poe was a poetic genius. This book is good in the sense that nothing distracts you from the poem. It allows the reader to be captivated by the poems beauty instead of a pretty cover. Annabel Lee everything went very well & the book brought tears to a friend of mine who lost hers many years ago... Annabel lee Some of the lines in the first and the last stanza were not included. I was suppose to be using this to study for my poem I was assigned an it did me absolute no use.

This is one of the best audiobooks available and I swear I would pay double-no, TRIPLE to listen to more classic liturature in it's orginal language paired with a proceeding english translation in a track by track format like this beautifuly constructed audiobook. Ukemi has produced an ingenius way of appreciating these poems by hearing the beautiful lyricisim of the orginal with a proceeding english translation that puts into context what is lost in the voyage from meaning to understanding while still providing a complimentary presentation of the orginal work. The only other audiobook on Audiobook quite like this isn't specifically a language learning program is the Naxos edition of The General Prologue and The Physician's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucerwhich consists of the orginal Middle English text along with a modern "translation" following it. But imagine if there was audiobook of The Bible with every verse in it's orginal Hebrew and Greek followed by an English translation? I mean, I know the Qur'an is much shorter, but why isn't there more demand? Anyway, you won't regret purchasing this book. Like every Ukemi title it is engaging and endlessly relistenable.

Rodeada por el mar, el sol y los esplendores naturales de Capri, Neruda dirigió estos poemas a su amante Matilde Urrutia antes de casarse, pero no los publicó hasta 1963. Esta colección completa se ha convertido en un clásico para los lectores de amor Mundo - apasionadamente sensual y explotando con toda la energía erótica de un nuevo amor. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Opiniones de los miembros: Tender, evocative, lush poems are a feast for a lover's soul These are tender, evocative, lush poems that would be any woman's saving grace if they were written about her. Every word, carefully chosen, become beacons and messages to those who value eros, as well as agape. What a world of beauty, passion, sensuality, and reverence comes shining through these poems that dance with an inner light, long after the reading is done. I was captivated and engaged, hanging onto every word as if they were silvery moons dangled in front of me across the black carpet of night sky in that siren's call that love's quest has not passed away from those who honor and acknowledge it. My mind ate up these poems like summer peaches and digested them into my soul. What a different tear arises from the realization of the poet's deep understanding and care for love's fragile existence. Proof that you cannot create art without science, electrons carried me here and carried me away into the splendor of this poetry. The poems' words spread out in my mind like validation that love is the one true thing. I feel a kindred spirit with those who read and appreciated these heartfelt and meaningful poems. Every accolade is deserved for this remarkable collection of love poetry. Five stars are not enough to say thank you for translating these touching poems into English. I was greatly moved in a way that gives me hope for the world. -- Eve Paludan, romance author Neruda at his best. In my studied opinion, this is probably Neruda's best book, i.e., collection. The Spanish is included with the English, the translation is excellent, the print and lay-out are clear. These poems have both delicacy and power. They will bestir, becalm, and sometimes sanctify. It's a good poetry book I think the translation could be better (in my non professional opinion) with the few poems I've read so far. Overall I am pleased with this edition and these poems. I like practicing my Spanish with them. Five Stars Love it. Nice, but not my kind of poet Quite long and repetitive. Occasionally something truly beautiful. I really liked some of his earth imagery. Itâs not really my kind of poetry.

Danger on Peaks Audiobook by Gary Snyder

Title: Danger on Peaks Author: Gary Snyder Narrator: Gary Snyder Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Publisher's Summary: We are proud to continue our project of publishing Deluxe Audio Editions of the poems of Gary Snyder, read by him. When first published in 2004, it was the poet's first new collection of poems in 20 years. Perhaps his most personal, autobiographical collection, it begins with the young poet ascending Mt. St. Helens in 1945, a climb accidentally timed with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was 15 years old. Almost 60 years later, after the great Buddhas at Bamiyan Valley were bombed and with the victims of the World Trade Center also "turned to dust", the poet composed a prayer while at Short Grass Temple in Senso-ji, a pilgrim on the path of Kannon, Goddess of Mercy. This remarkable collection was greeted with broad praise, and as Julia Martin proclaimed, "Moving between relative and absolute ways of seeing, [Snyder] responds to the experience of global conflict and personal pain by reminding readers of the continuity of wildness, affirming the value of art, and invoking an ancient practice of wisdom and compassion." Members Reviews: Gary Snyder in a Lifetime, Unforgettable To hear Gary Snyder read his own work is like nothing else. Ive been reading him since I was a small child, then listening to his kitchen conversation with my father and still, to hear him read his books, out loud, takes my breath away. Snyder is Coyote here, telling tales. Recorded in his home in the Sierras, you can feel every critter, leaf, puff of smoke. What can I say about a writer who so summons, truly evokes the winds in trees and soaring peaks. In these works, nature and beauty overlap modern inconvenience, the roar of the freeway, and you get the essence of *experience.* Bridging 1945 - 2004, there is a lifetime in these lyrics more clearly stated volumes of memoirs. Thank you, Gary!

Wilhelm Tell Hörbuch von Friedrich Schiller

biacuaduc@gmail.com (Friedrich Schiller) — Thu, 22 Jun 2017 03:22:36 GMT

Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> Titel: Wilhelm Tell Autor:: Friedrich Schiller Erzähler: Hans Eckhardt Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 41 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 06-22-17 Herausgeber: Lindhardt og Ringhof Kategorien: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Eines der größten Werke der "klassischen" deutschen Literatur und zugleich eines der meistgefürchteten Schullektüren. Hier in der Nacherzählung von Barbara Kindermann. Und so mancher dürfte beim Hören verblüfft feststellen: Es ist ein Werk, das sich seinen herausgehobenen Status bis heute durchaus zu Recht bewahrt hat. Ein Werk zugleich, das sich leider allzu vielen verschließt, weil sich ihnen der zeitgemäße Zugang nicht eröffnet. Dieses Hörbuch liefert endlich Abhilfe: Die Nacherzählung zeigt, wie spannend, unterhaltsam und zugleich aktuell und gedankentief der Klassiker tatsächlich ist. Ein herrliches Hörbuch für Jung und Alt, von Hans Eckardt sehr lebendig, ausdrucksstark und geistreich gelesen - so macht große Weltliteratur für alle Generationen nicht nur Spaß, sondern erschließt sich in ihrer bewegenden Tiefe auch für jedermann! Friedrich Schiller, geboren am 10. November 1759 in Marbach am Neckar in Wunsiedel und gestorben am 9. Mai 1805 in Weimar, war ein deutscher Dichter, Schriftsteller, Historiker und Dramatiker. Schillers Werk ist äußerst umfangreich und vielseitig. Er gilt neben Wieland, Goethe und Herder zu den wesentlichen Vertretern der Weimarer Klassik. Seine Dramen und Balladen zählen zu den bekanntesten Werken in deutscher Sprache. ©2017 SAGA Egmont (P)2017 SAGA Egmont Mitglieder Bewertungen: Profound! Almost everyone knows the story of William Tell, but this is the first time I've read Schiller's original. I found it inspirational. In a relativistic age, it is good to be reminded of the virtues and moral standards that have been a foundation for whatever is good in Western culture. Yes, one could object that the good characters are idealised and one-dimensional compared to the flawed, imperfect individuals of the real world, but at least we could aspire to be like the ideals. At another level, Wilhelm Tell gives food for thought about political structure, freedom and self-government. Recommended! A classic read in German Language may be 'veraltet' but it is a good reading exercise for a non native German speaker.

Liebesgedichte und erotische Gedichte Hörbuch

Hören Sie sich dieses volle Hörbuch kostenlos bei https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/65/]]> Titel: Liebesgedichte und erotische Gedichte Autor:: Rainer Maria Rilke, Theodor Fontane, Heinrich Heine Erzähler: Andre Wittlich Format: Unabridged Spieldauer: 48 mins Sprache: Deutsch Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-16-07 Herausgeber: Flexible Literature Kategorien: Drama & Poetry, Poetry Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers: Worte der Liebe hat es immer schon gegeben. Übermittelt durch Gesten, Mimik, Körpersprache und nicht zuletzt auch durch die Kunst des Schreibens. Die kulturelle Fähigkeit, Gefühle, Gedanken, Sehnsüchte, das Glück und den Schmerz zum Ausdruck zu bringen, zieht sich durch die Literaturgeschichte wie ein schier unversiegbarer Quell menschlicher Sexualität. Lassen Sie sich entführen in die Dichtkunst der vergangenen Jahrhunderte, vom überschäumenden Rokoko bis hin zur Neuzeit, in der die Liebe immer mehr der puren Selbstverwirklichung und Individualisierung dient. All diesen Epochen ist trotz unterschiedlicher Aussprache und Rhythmik innerhalb des Werkes - eines gemeinsam: Liebe, Lust und Leidenschaft. (c) 2006 Flexible Literature
