Title: Acrobat

Author: Nabaneeta Dev Sen

Narrator: Nandana Sen

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 13 minutes

Release date: July 13, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A deeply humane new collection by a luminary of Bengali literature A radiant collection of poetry about womanhood, intimacy, and the body politic that together evokes the arc of an ordinary life. Nabaneeta Dev Sen's rhythmic lines explore the joys and agonies of first love, childbirth, and decay with a restless, tactile imagination, both picking apart and celebrating the rituals that make us human. When she warns, 'know that blood can be easily drawn by lips,' her words tune to the fierce and biting depths of language, to the 'treachery that lingers on tongue tips.' At once compassionate and unsparing, conversational and symphonic, these poems tell of a rope shivering beneath an acrobat's nimble feet or of a twisted, blood-soaked umbilical cord -- they pluck the invisible threads that bind us together.

Title: Alastor: Or the Spirit of Solitude And Other Poems

Author: Bertram Dobell, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Narrator: Denis Daly

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 37 minutes

Release date: July 5, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Alastor Or the Spirit of Solitude And Other Poems By Percy Bysshe Shelley Narrated by Denis Daly This meditation on artistic creativity was written during the latter months of 1815, during a sojourn on the border of Windsor Forest. Critics have concurred in the opinion that the anonymous hero of the poem is Shelley himself, who feared that he too would become an 'inheritor of unfulfilled renown.' Today, the poem is considered to be the first major work of Shelley's maturity. Appended to the collection were a number of shorter pieces: 1) To Coleridge 2) Stanzas - April 1814 3) Mutability 4) The pale, the cold, and the moony smile 5) A Summer-evening Church-yard 6) To Wordsworth 7) Feelings of a Republican on the Fall of Bonaparte 8) Superstition 9) Sonnet from the Italian of Dante 10) Translated from the Greek of Moschus 11) The Daemon of the World The final poem is a reworking of the first two cantos of a much larger work, Queen Mab, which was first published in 1813.

Title: Parallel Movement of the Hands: Five Unfinished Longer Works

Author: John Ashbery

Narrator: Fred Sanders

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 44 minutes

Release date: June 29, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A stunning collection of work from beloved poet John Ashbery, his first posthumous book  Renowned for his inventive mind, ambitious play with language, and dexterity with a wide range of tones and styles, John Ashbery has been a major artistic figure in the cultural life of our time. Parallel Movement of the Hands gathers unpublished, book-length projects and long poems written between 1993 and 2007, along with one (as yet) undated work, to showcase Ashbery’s diverse and multifaceted artistic obsessions and sources, from children’s literature, cliffhanger cinema reels, silent films, and classical music variations by Beethoven’s pupil Carl Czerny to the history of early photography. Ashbery even provides a fresh and humorous take on a well-worn parable from the Gospel of Matthew. These works demonstrate that while producing and publishing the shorter, discrete poems often associated with his late career, Ashbery continued to practice the long-form, project-based writing that has long been an important element of his oeuvre. Edited and introduced by Ashbery’s former assistant poet Emily Skillings and including a preface by acclaimed poet and novelist Ben Lerner, this compelling and varied collection offers new insights into the process and creative interests of a poet whose work continues to influence generations of artists and poets with its signature intertextuality, openness, and simultaneity. A landmark publication of never-before-seen works, this book will enlighten scholars as well as new readers of one of America’s most prominent and celebrated poets. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Title: Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins

Author: Gerard Manley Hopkins

Narrator: Denis Daly

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 30 minutes

Release date: May 21, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins Narrated by Denis Daly During his lifetime, Hopkins, who was ordained as a Jesuit priest, was best known as a scholar and a teacher of languages. In his youth he composed poetry prolifically, but detroyed all his juvenile work in 1867. In 1874 he commenced writing poetry again, but little of his verse was published in his lifetime. His work was rescued from obscurity by his friend and supporter, Robert Bridges, who later became poet laureate. Hopkins' reputation as a ground breaking poet developed rapidly after Bridges published a collection of Hopkins' verse in 1918. Today he is considered to be one of the most innovative poets of the Nineteenth Century and a major influence on such important figures as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas and W. H. Auden. Hopkin's verse is notable for its striking imagery and use of a unique rolling metrical structure, which he called sprung rhythm. Many of the themes in his poems are drawn from associations with the pentitential religious practices to which he regularly subjected himself, and the tone of many of his best known works is introspective and melancholy.
