    Publisher's Summary:
    En Vida en Marte, reconocido por el New York Times Book Reviewcomo uno de los poemarios más destacados del 2001 y galardonado en 2012 con el prestigioso Premio Pulitzer de Poesía, Tracy K. Smith imagina una banda sonora para el universo.Su poesía, con referencias tomadas de David Bowie y de la ciencia ficción, acompaña a los hallazgos y fallos de la existencia humana para sugerirnos que lo importante no es tanto descubrir los enigmas del universo, sino asumir su misterio.No obstante, todos buscamos respuestas, en la religión, en la ciencia, en el arte; pero la interrogación continúa viva, no se cierra, especialmente cuando nos enfrentamos a la pérdida y al duelo. Es por ello que Smith, que escribió estos poemas tras la muerte de su padre (ingeniero en el Telescopio Hubble), construye su metáfora marciana: el espacio exterior, sinónimo de lo que puede llegar a conocerse, en el que su padre se ha desvanecido. Reivindica el poder de la ciencia como medida de reflexión en tiempos en que nada alcanza a ser lo que es pues todo es eternamente cambiante, eleva la vista a las estrellas, pero enfoca la lente de su telescopio en lo concreto, lo íntimo, incluso lo doméstico.Vida en Marte consolida a Tracy K. Smith como una de las mejores voces de su generación.

  • Beethoven Variations: Poems on a Life by Ruth Padel

    Title: Beethoven Variations: Poems on a Life
    Author: Ruth Padel
    Narrator: Ruth Padel
    Format: Unabridged Audiobook
    Length: 2 hours 55 minutes
    Release date: April 20, 2021
    Genres: Poetry
    Publisher's Summary:
    A fascinating poetic journey into the mind and heart of a musical genius, from the author of the celebrated Darwin: A Life in Poems Ruth Padel's new sequence of poems, in four movements, is a personal voyage through the life and legend of one of the world's greatest composers. She uncovers the man behind the music, charting his private thoughts and feelings through letters, diaries, sketchbooks, and the conversation books he used as his hearing declined. She gives us Beethoven as a battered four-year-old, weeping at the clavier; the young virtuoso pianist agonized by his encroaching deafness; the passionate, heartbroken lover; the clumsy eccentric making coffee with exactly sixty beans. Padel's quest takes her into the heart of Europe and back to her own musical childhood: Her great-grandfather, who studied in Leipzig with a pupil of Beethoven's, became a concert pianist before migrating to Britain; her parents met making music; and Padel grew up playing the viola, Beethoven's instrument as a child. Her book is a poet and string player's intimate connection across the centuries with an artist who, though increasingly isolated, ended even his most harrowing works on a note of hope. * This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains a selection of Beethoven’s works and recommendations for further reading.

    Publisher's Summary:
    LA VOZ DE UNA NUEVA ERA NÚMERO 1 EN VENTAS EN ESTADOS UNIDOS ELEGIDA UNA DE LAS 100 PERSONAS QUE SERÁN MÁS INFLUYENTES EN EL FUTURO SEGÚN LA REVISTA TIME Prólogo de Oprah Winfrey Ante la mirada de un mundo sobrecogido tras la invasión del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos, Amanda Gorman tomó la palabra a continuación del presidente Joe Biden. Era la poeta más joven que recitaba en una ceremonia de investidura, como antes lo hicieron Robert Frost o Maya Angelou, y cautivó a millones de personas que veían en ella la luz de una esperanza, y en los versos de La colina que ascendemos la inauguración de una nueva era. Afroamericana criada por una madre soltera en un modesto barrio multicultural de Los Ángeles, defensora del medio ambiente, la igualdad racial y la justicia de género, Gorman se ha convertido en la voz de los olvidados. «Con sus palabras vigorosas y conmovedoras —como afirma Michelle Obama—, nos recuerda el poder que cada uno de nosotros tiene para defender nuestra democracia. ¡Sigue brillando, Amanda!». La crítica ha dicho... «Gracias, Amanda Gorman, por abrir la puerta de esta manera tan histórica.» Elvira Sastre «Una estrella de la literatura y un símbolo de rebeldía. [...] Cualquiera entiende que el género del poema de Capitolio es difícil. [...] La colina que ascendemos ha cumplido con su función: ha emocionado a millones de estadounidenses y se ha convertido en un símbolo para el optimismo en un país herido. [...] Y hasta la poesía, tan celebrada en los últimos meses, adquiere con el éxito de Gorman un renovado valor de resistencia moral, de fortaleza en la debilidad.» Luis Alemany, El Mundo «Un potente discurso que conmovió al Capitolio y al mundo entero. [...] Toda una declaración de intenciones, de fuerza y de talento.» Benedetta Poletti, directora de ELLE «Todo el mundo adora a la nueva voz esperanzada y sufriente de Amanda. En su escritura [...] resuena con contundencia la voz con la barba en cascada de Walt Whitman: vitalismo, inconformismo, belleza, naturaleza, regeneración, futuro... Gorman supo aglutinar en sus versos la nueva esperanza que gran parte del país -y de un mundo asolado por la resaca de Trump- necesitaba.» Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, El País «Amanda dio una clase magistral: se enfrentó al poder con la verdad y encarnó la esperanza transparente de una nación cansada. Nos desenmascaró a nosotros mismos. Y ahí va la mejor parte: estoy seguro de que habrá muchos más momentos como este. Ahora el mundo sabe el nombre de la poeta.» Lin-Manuel Miranda, TIME «Un poema de ritmo bello para una ocasión especial, que vivirá mucho más allá del tiempo y del espacio para el que fue compuesto. Amanda Gorman lo recitó con gracia y sus palabras resonarán en el mundo entero: hoy, mañana, y en el futuro lejano.» Will Gompertz, BBC «[Amanda] viene a mostrarnos nuestro verdadero ser, nuestra herencia humana, nuestro corazón. [...] Cuando sus palabras nos inundaron, sanaron nuestras heridas y resucitó nuestro espíritu. Y nuestra nación, herida pero entera, se puso de rodillas.» Oprah Winfrey «Necesitamos un nuevo lenguaje de esperanza. Amanda Gorman lo está escribiendo.» Hillary Clinton «Amanda posee un poderoso espejo: todos aquellos que se miran en él se ven mejores. [...] Y encarna un futuro que suena con latido, un faro para los jóvenes achicados por la precariedad y la pandemia que acorta sus pasos. ¡Ah, esa frescura, Amanda, capaz de combatir el persistente olor a vinagre!» Joana Bonet, El País

    Title: Old Monarch: Poems
    Author: Courtney Marie Andrews
    Narrator: Courtney Marie Andrews
    Format: Unabridged Audiobook
    Length: 1 hour 11 minutes
    Release date: April 6, 2021
    Genres: Poetry
    Publisher's Summary:
    Some people are like monarch butterflies—solitary by nature, on a passionate search for somewhere. Critically acclaimed songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews presents her first poetry collection. This poetry collection reads like a transformation, me, the narrator, being the figurative Old Monarch. Documenting this journey, the book is separated into three sections, "Sonoran Milkweed," "Longing In Flight," and "Eucalyptus Tree (My Arrival to Rest)." In the first stage of my journey, I explore my childhood in Arizona, and the naive assumptions of youth. At this stage in my journey, I am impressionable, seeing the world with all its nuances for the first time. Through the landscape of the Sonoran Desert, I explore some dark family dynamics and what a child sees. Several characters turn up in the early poems including my cowboy grandpa, and the single mother who raised me, despite many forthcomings. The early poems also explore my desire to see a brighter world of possibility beyond the dusty desert island, and see humans more clearly within the confounds of discovery. In the second stage, I have left home. I am falling in love for the first time, as I become a young woman. Finally, the last stage is the old monarch's arrival to the garden. There are a lot of metaphysical and philosophical poems in this section. I arrive at the figurative garden, and I finally understand the journey at the edge of my life. There are a lot of poems in the context of a garden here, accepting mortality and the ever-changing world. These are meant to be wise old woman poems. This audiobook features original music by Courtney Marie Andrews.
