Title: Text Messages: Or How I Found Myself Time Travelling

Author: Yassin 'narcy' Alsalman

Narrator: Yassin 'narcy' Alsalman

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 2 minutes

Release date: May 20, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Text Messages is the first multi-genre collection by Montreal-based Iraqi hip-hop artist, activist, and professor Yassin "Narcy" Alsalman. Composed entirely on a smartphone during air travel and married to artwork from comrades, Narcy's writing speaks of the existential crises experienced by diasporic children of war before and during imperialism in the age of the Internet. Narcy's verses span the space between hip-hop and manifesto, portraying a crumbling, end-stage capitalist society, visions for a new reality, and the myth of multiculturalism in post-9/11 North America. The wordsmith hollows and transmogrifies the grotesque excess of the West by juxtaposing McLife with images of death, destruction, and trauma in the East. From the depths of apathetic consumerism arises a voice of spiritual self-realization that explodes the misrepresented, mythical monolith of Islam in the West and with the rubble builds healing through intelligent resistance and radical love. "Young boys and girls trapped in Walmarts- our consumer interim camps. A family-friendly, discounted freedom. You don't see what the Internet can't. Not our land or home. Not your mans or holmes. Not your towers or domes. Not your power or drones."

Title: [Spanish] - La calma después de mi tormenta

Author: Javi Guillamón

Narrator: Rocío Fuentes

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 12 hours 11 minutes

Release date: May 4, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Las primeras letras de este libro tienen algo más de diez años. Me encontraba inmerso en un cuadro de ansiedad generalizada y escribir lo que sentía era la única manera de sentirme libre. Por desgracia, ese amago de libertad duraba lo que el lápiz entre mis dedos. Con el paso del tiempo, contrario a lo que yo esperaba, nada mejoró. Las crisis de ansiedad no remitían, y lo que es peor, comencé a experimentar ataques de pánico. Por suerte, de cuando en cuando, escribía. La mayor parte de este poemario se escribió durante el verano de 2019, después de una larga depresión que supuso un encierro de seis meses. Afortunadamente, fueron varios los profesionales que me ayudaron a que muy poco a poco pudiera remontar el vuelo. Con ello, un aluvión de sentimientos me atropellaron y comencé a contar mi historia. La historia de cómo el amor por la vida, por los demás y la necesidad de ayudar a todo aquel que haya pasado, o esté pasando, por un momento similar no cometa los errores que hicieron que yo hipotecara mi juventud. Todo ello se convirtió en lo que ahora llamo La calma después de mi tormenta. Desde entonces todo fueron buenas noticias. 'No hay mal que por bien no venga', dicen. Comencé a disfrutar de todo aquello que antes me parecía mundano e insustancial, 'los pequeños detalles' que les llaman. Me encontré con personas maravillosas que ahora son mi familia, pero, sobre todo, comencé a conocerme y a quererme tal y como soy, tal cual, de la A a la Z.

Title: [Spanish] - Cantar de cantares de Salomón

Author: Fray Luis De Leon

Narrator: Hector Amenara

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 7 minutes

Release date: April 27, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

El libro El Cantar de los Cantares fue incorporado a la Biblia como el más bello poema de amor vivido por el rey Salomón y la hija del Faraón, acompañados por el coro de sus compañeros. A mediados del siglo XVI fray Luis de León tradujo el original hebreo, palabra a palabra, atendiendo solo a la «corteza de la letra», convencido de que cuanto más penetramos en la experiencia humana del amor, mejor comprendemos el sentido alegórico espiritual que se oculta en los versos. Es lo que fray Luis explica en la Exposición, en un castellano considerado el más hermoso de la literatura espiritual del Siglo de Oro. Censurado y prohibido por la Inquisición, no fue publicado hasta 1798. Aquí se cuenta la apasionada historia y se desentraña la belleza de lo que Jorge Guillén calificó como «adorable, prodigioso cántico».Fray Luis se esfuerza en ahondar en el sentido de una espesa corteza para captar la profundidad y la pluralidad del sonido de las palabras, a fin de que en ellas resuenen los significados más abiertos, que transmiten las más variadas vivencias. Lejos de atar, la fidelidad al texto original genera libertad. –Víctor García de la Concha
