Title: The World's Wife

Subtitle: Picador Classic

Author: Carol Ann Duffy

Narrator: Carol Ann Duffy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-20-17

Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio

Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

This unique collection of poems from the poet laureate, filled with her characteristic wit, is a feminist classic and a modern take on age-old mythology.

Who? Him. The Husband. Hero. Hunk. The Boy Next Door. The Paramour. The Je t'adore.

Behind every famous man is a great woman - and from the quick-tongued Mrs Darwin to the lascivious Frau Freud, from the adoring Queen Kong to the long-suffering wife of the devil himself, each one steps from her counterpart's shadow to tell her side of the story in this irresistible collection.

Original, subversive, full of imagination and quicksilver wit, The World's Wife is poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy at her beguiling best.

Members Reviews:

I really liked this book by Duffy

I really liked this book by Duffy. She essentially takes tons of popular stories featuring a male lead/perspective and she tells the tale from a woman's perspective, most often the wife, in a poem structure. There is humor, there is suspense, there is sadness. It's a great collection of poems. I used this book in one of my college courses and I ended up really liking the whole book. It's a slim book so it's not too heavy and it's not too little either. I would definitely recommend this book.

New voices

In "The World's Wife," Duffy deftly reworks tales from myths, fables, the bible, popular culture, literature and history. Some popular stories are reexamined through the eyes of a female witness, as with "Pilate's Wife," "Mrs. Darwin, " "Mrs. Sisyphus" and "Anne Hathaway." Others are modernized; In "Mrs. Faust," Faust and his wife are a pair of yuppies collecting degrees, computers and cell phones. A few stories, like "Queen Kong", are reimagined with a female protagonist replacing the male. The poetry is as diverse as the personae, with voices ranging from lingering, dreamy and dramatic to hard, clipped and succinct.

The World's Wife lets previously unheard women speak. Their voices are not always what readers expect from a lyric speaker, for how often is deep emotion examined through rhyming slang for tits, or the nicknames for a penis? Yet when Duffy calls a modern wife frustrated by her husband's discovery of Viagra "Mrs. Rip Van Winkle," or a contemporary-voiced woman whose husband works mindlessly and ceaselessly "Mrs. Sisyphus," Duffy reveals that their personal struggles are not theirs alone. Their troubles have resonance, and echo through history, literature and myth---even though in the past it may have been left unspoken.

Best Collection

This is my all time favorite poetry collection and one of my favorite reads.

Love her point of view

I'm not a lover of poetry but Carol's words made me laugh. Love her point of view!

This is a treasure

Everyone should read this. In fact, I wish I had been made to read it in school, although it would have had to have been grade 11 up to University level, as the themes are far too complex for most teenagers. Duffy's remarkable intelligence, wit and humanity is on full display here and you may need to look up a few stories as a refresher or learn something new altogether. This is a treasure.

Title: Sparks

Author: Norah Hanson

Narrator: Norah Hanson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-04-17

Publisher: Valley Press

Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Sparks is the third collection of passionate, poignant poetry from much-loved Hull-based writer Norah Hanson. The fiery wit and hard-won wisdom that characterized her previous collections are here, intact, with a new level of clarity and purpose adding weight to the words, without losing the warmth, wonder, and laugh-out-loud observational skills that have won Norah an army of fans across the world.

Six-times a great-grandmother, the poet's life experience shines throughout, shedding light on triumphs and struggles past, illuminating our troubled (and frequently ridiculous) present, and nodding towards sources of hope for the future.

The "sparks" are cast into the night sky from a VE day bonfire, they "dance in the spaces between solid matter", and they are the poems themselves, flashes of brilliance to be cherished for decades to come.

Title: Phenomenally Me

Author: Sarah J. Heidelberg

Narrator: Christopher Preece

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-17

Publisher: Ophelia Brown Publishing

Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

In a dark room with a blue light

In the basement, music just right

Nothing going down but the

Mellow sounds of Mr. DJ's turntables

Going round" Boyz II Men croon

As we groove to the beat

Phenomenally Me is the first collection from Kansas-born African American poet Sarah J. Heidelberg, and a lively and impressive compilation it is; by turns emotional and thoughtful, joyful and melancholy, blending the discipline and technique of formal lyric verse with the brashness and daring of performance poetry.

The 102 poems of the book, written from 2000-2009, are grouped in seven sections. The first of 27 poems is titled "Encounters With Love".

I can hear the moldy figs of the poetry establishment now. "Love poetry? How trite!" Have they been so long in the House of the Dead, mummifying Robert Frost, that they have forgotten that Eros, God of love (Erzulie in the pantheon of Voudon) has been the most steadfast patron of verse? Have they already forgotten that the god/muse was propitiated by ancient Egyptians, praised by the Babylonians, puffed up in Sanskrit, Latin, and Greek?

To the roll of Love's acolytes - who include Sappho, Shakespeare, Smokey Robinson - add Sarah J. Heidelberg.

It is Ms. Heidelberg's desire that these poems be heard aloud. Phenomenally Me, however, is not a mess of doggerel jotted down on napkins 10 minutes before she recited them at a slam or open mic.

It is a carefully crafted blend of classical and modern influences, feminism and post feminism. It would be a welcome addition to an update of the Ras Baraka and Kevin Powell anthology, In the Tradition. Phenomenally Me is new wine in new bottles, and Sarah J. Heidelberg is a right poet for the new millennium worthy of her icons, which include Jessica Care Moore, Alice Walker, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, and Sylvia Plath.
