Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Shifting through memory, and in concert with the themes of his novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, Vuong contends with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the cost of being the product of an American war in America. At once vivid, brave, and propulsive, Vuong's poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicentre of the break. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T.S. Eliot Prize, and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. These poems represent a more innovative and daring experimentation with language and form, illuminating how the themes we perennially live in and question are truly inexhaustible. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time Is a Mother is a return and a forging-forth all at once. © Ocean Vuong 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

Title: 28 poems by Victor Hugo

Author: Víctor Hugo

Length: 0 hours 54 minutes

Release date: April 1, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Victor Hugo is one of the best-known French writers, and is part of the greatest literary figures of all time. His poetry made him famous very early, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest lyric poets when he was only 20 years old. He was also a novelist and a dramatist, and furthered the cause of Romanticism, this exalted artistic movement which toyed with Sublime and soared on the winds of emotion. Hugo was also actively involved in politics, defending the poor until his last breath; he was even forced into exile, from which he kept on writing, beloved by the masses he stood up for. When he died, it was an intense day of mourning in France, and more than two million people joined his funeral procession to the Panthéon. Today, most large towns in France have at least a street named after him. We have selected for you 28 of his most well-known and powerful poems, mosty from the immortal Autumn Leaves and Contemplations. Enjoy the intense rhythm and depth of Hugo's poetry, an essential part of French culture and one of the most beautiful works of poetry ever written. - -

Title: Poetry by Paul Verlaine

Author: Paul Verlaine

Narrator: Paul Spera

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 27 minutes

Release date: April 1, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, with whom he had a stormy relationship, Paul Verlaine is one of the most influential poets of the fin de siècle. He was one of the greatest representatives of the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s, and a leader of the Symbolists. His stylistic innovations brought a new musicality to French poetry; it was he who paved the way for modern poetry with its experiments in free verse and new techniques. Verlaine produced exquisitely crafted verse, conveying the strongest emotions and appetites. This translation by Gertrude Hall, herself a recognized poet, is one of the best rendering of Verlaine's work in English language. - -

Title: The flowers of Evil

Author: Charles Baudelaire

Narrator: Stuart Walker

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 26 minutes

Release date: April 1, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Les Fleurs du mal, in English The Flowers of Evil, is a volume of French poetry by Charles Baudelaire. First published in 1857, it played an essential rôle in the symbolist and modernist movements. The poems deal with themes relating to decadence and eroticism. Baudelaire dedicated the book to the poet Théophile Gautier, describing him as a parfait magicien des lettres françaises ('a perfect magician of French letters').The author and the publisher were prosecuted under the regime of the Second Empire as an outrage aux bonnes mœurs ('an insult to public decency'). As a consequence of this prosecution, Baudelaire was fined 300 francs. Six poems from the work were suppressed and the ban on their publication was not lifted in France until 1949. These poems were 'Lesbos'; ' Les 'Métamorphoses du Vampire' (or 'The Vampire's Metamorphoses'), for example. These were later published in Brussels in a small volume entitled Les Épaves (Scraps or Jetsam). Upon reading 'The Swan' (or 'Le Cygne') from Les Fleurs du mal, Victor Hugo announced that Baudelaire had created 'un nouveau frisson' (a new shudder, a new thrill) in literature. The Flowers of Evil is a masterpiece of french literature. - -

Title: Poetry by Charles Baudelaire

Author: Charles Baudelaire

Narrator: Katie Haigh

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 25 minutes

Release date: April 1, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Charles Baudelaire is one of the greatest French poets. His most famous work, Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), was deemed scandalous at the time because of its themes of sex and death, lesbianism, corruption, wine, and the oppressiveness of living. Its powerful imagery and ravaging use of the senses had many name him an unequaled master; the effect on fellow artists was 'immense, prodigious, unexpected, mingled with admiration and with some indefinable anxious fear', while the regime of the Second Empire had Baudelaire prosecuted and fined for his 'insult to public decency'. Baudelaire's style had a tremendous influence on French poetry and also on English writers; he was a pioneering translator, and created strong ties with the Anglo-Saxon literature. We have selected for you 16 of his most striking poems in the most precise translation available: A Former Life, Beauty, Correspondences, Don Juan in Hades, Exotic Perfume, The Balcony, The Beacons, The Dance of Death, The Death of Lovers, The Evil Monk, The Irreparable, The Living Flame, The Sadness of the Moon, The Sick Muse, The Temptation, The Venal Muse. - -
