Title: Are You Laughing Now

Author: Jaden Whittall

Narrator: Joshua Ward

Format: Unabridged

Length: 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-15-15

Publisher: J Whittall

Publisher's Summary:

Have you ever been bullied? Ever been abused? Ever self-harmed? Contemplated or attempted suicide? Have you lost a loved one to suicide? Do you feel alone? Do you feel there is no one out there who understands what you are going through? You are wrong.

Are You Laughing Now is a frank and honest look at bullying, abuse, self-harm, and suicide. Written from the perspective of a victim or sufferer, it explores the emotions, fears, and confusion associated with these issues. It allows those who are suffering to see that they are not alone and that someone truly does understand. It also helps those who have never suffered to realize and better understand the damage these issues can cause.

Should be mandatory reading in high school English class

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I am a high school teacher. Every day I hear and see students struggling to express the feelings contained in this poetry. The overriding feeling I hear is one of isolation. No one understands. No one cares.

But this author understands. He cares enough to bare the agony of adolescent angst and the sheer grief of being a bully's victim in raw, ragged poetry that tears at the soul.

As a teacher, I would like to see this poetry added to a freshman-level curriculum, along with the Shakespeare. I think it would do the kids a world of good to read poems they can understand about feelings they can relate to. It might lead into all kinds of healthy expression. Writing, journaling, poetry slams, and eventually a greater sense that no one is alone. Everyone feels this way. Perhaps, if we can break down the walls of shame and isolation, fewer tragedies will take place.

Thank you, Jaden Whittall, for providing this little piece of your soul to the public. I hope it helps someone. I'm going to recommend it.

Very Very Nice

What made the experience of listening to Say What? the most enjoyable?

A nice effort on the part of the author, and kudos to the narrator as well.

Title: The Love Poet of Vermont

Author: William Graham

Narrator: Vincent James Cozzolino

Format: Unabridged

Length: 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-11-15

Publisher: William Graham

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Drama & Poetry, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

This volume of poems celebrates love - both its joy and heartache - by drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of Vermont. In verse that expresses universal emotions, poet William Graham has given his readers a valentine from Vermont.

Members Reviews:

Not nearly as good as the author's other poetry

Any additional comments?

The Love Poet of Vermont is a collection of short poems about, not surprisingly, love. This is the third book of poems I've read by this author and it is by far the most ethereal. As is often the case in the realm of love poetry, it says nothing but makes you feel lots. This gets pretty old fast. Maybe listening to it in one sitting was a mistake.

The narrator was quite dreary which also made this difficult to listen to for long even at a modest 35 minutes.

FYI to the producers: there's a glitch around 16min 20sec where it went very quiet for a few seconds.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Titel: Orestie

Autor:: Aischylos

Erzähler: Ullrich Haupt, Rolf Henniger, Margot Trooger, Hanns-Georg Laubenthal, Gerhard Geisler

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 2 hrs

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 05-05-15

Herausgeber: SWR Edition

Kategorien: Drama & Poetry, Poetry

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Mit überzeugender Kraft stellte Aischylos in seinen Dichtungen jene Kräfte dar, welche den Staat, die Familie und den Einzelnen seiner Zeit gefährdeten und bewahrten, indem er die Schicksale der Heroen dieser Ordnung einfügte und aus ihr heraus deutete. Damit enthüllte er vor den Athenern zugleich die Grundlagen ihres eigenen Daseins.

Auch in seiner "Orestie" geht es um politisches und religiöses Welttheater, das hier aber zur Warnung vor drohendem Zerfall und drohender Entgötterung wird. Es geht letztlich um den Glauben an die Gerechtigkeit des Göttlichen oder an den Staat als Verkörperung dieser Gerechtigkeit, denn am Schluss steht, wie in allen seinen Werken, eine Einigung der Entzweiten, ein Vergleich der kämpfenden Mächte und eine Stiftung neuer Ordnung.

Bearbeitung und Übersetzung: Jens Walter, Regie: Otto Kurth, Musik: Mladen Gutesha.

Titel: Ewig ohne Dauer

Autor:: Christian Uetz

Erzähler: Andreas Grothgar, Bettina Engelhardt, Christian Uetz

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 38 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 05-01-15

Herausgeber: WDR

Kategorien: Drama & Poetry, Poetry

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

"Wo bleibt dein Gottzwang? Wo, wo bleibt deine absolute Liebe?"

Sprachverdichtung bis zur Implosion. Ein Gefühl - durchleuchtet bis auf den Grund seiner Fadenscheinigkeit. Ein Affekt - zelebriert bis zur letzten Konsequenz.

"Es ist die Verliebtheit die größere Lust, gegen die jede Lust nichts ist. Es ist der Geist, der uns geil macht, nicht die Orgasmustechnik. Es ist die Sprache, die uns lebendig macht, nicht das Sportstudio. Es ist die Musik, die uns high macht, nicht die Bratwurst. Kommen wir zuerst zur platonischen Höhe, kommen alle anderen Höhen von selbst, bis wir sterben vor Lust, weil es so schön ist, dass wir es nicht mehr ertragen und endlich wahnsinnig werden, was wir schon sind. Und warum sollen wir nicht wahnsinnig werden wollen in dieser wahnsinnigen Welt? Diese verdammte Realität kann wirklich nur dazu dienen, darin toll zu werden Utopie. Verlorene aller Welt vereinigt euch! Verlassene, Verkrampfte, Verstörte aller Welt vereinigt euch! Unglückliche, Depressive, Schizophrene, Neurotiker aller Welt vereinigt euch! Ihr alle, die ihr mit diesem Leben nichts anfangen könnt/ vereinigt verschmelzt verliert verliebt euch immer neu!"

Christian Uetz schleudert seine philosophische Liebeslyrik mit solcher Vehemenz in den Äther, dass am Ende der Fluch des Menschseins selbst greifbar ist: Erklären können wir es noch so gut - es hört doch nicht auf, weh zu tun. Immer neu.

Members Reviews:

Simple poems made better

Would you listen to Pose Prose & Poems again? Why?

I would listen to certain poems -- mainly for the narrator.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would have organized it differently.

What does Linda Roper bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Listening to Linda Roper, I am reminded of seeing a movie where the actors bring more to the characters and story than was in the original source material.

Any additional comments?

This book seems like an early effort of the author. At times, many of the poems have almost a nursery rhyme quality to them, and while clever, amusing, and witty in spots, I felt myself wanting a little more depth of feeling. Having said this, Linda Roper's narration is the real engine of the material -- bringing the poems to life through her wonderful vocal instrument -- adding flair, nuance, and just the right amount of emphasis when called for. I think Ms. Roper is a real find for Audible and would like to hear her tackle more substantive material where she could spread her wings even more.
