Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 36 minutes

Release date: February 26, 2021

Publisher's Summary:

154 Sonette schrieb William Shakespeare, Gedichte voller Leidenschaft, Eifersucht, unerfüllter Liebe und Trauer, hier vollständig versammelt. Shakespeare, der um keinen Skandal verlegen war, wagte hier Unerhörtes, denn diese Gedichte geben durchaus Rätsel auf. Wenden sie sich an eine Frau? An einen Mann? Unabhängig davon jedoch ziehen sie durch ihre einfache und doch bildhafte Sprache den Hörer immer mehr in ihren Bann.

Title: The Trouble With Everything

Author: Lesley Choyce, Doug Barron

Narrator: Lesley Choyce

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 14 minutes

Release date: February 25, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

"This is a most unique audiobook of studio readings of 27 poems accompanied by original music. Pandemics prompt creative artists do unusual things to keep their spirits soaring. And this was the case for two of the original SurfPoets from the 1990s. As a result, author Lesley Choyce and musician/record producer Doug Barron created a full-length CD audiobook recording of a most unique alternative brand of spoken word poetry and music. While no one could accuse the pair of trying to crack Top 40 music, the album, The Trouble With Everything is a highly eclectic mix of Choyce's published poetry and Barron's studio wizardry that will help to shake off the bad vibes of the past year and inspire listeners with some heartfelt words. Adhering to social distancing protocol, Choyce recorded the vocals at his home studio at Lawrencetown Beach, Nova Scotia and Barron composed original music and mixed the tracks at Brussels Street Studios in Halifax. A number of videos produced by Barron have appeared on Youtube and track samples are offered up on Bandcamp.com but the duo felt it important to produce a traditional CD album as well, soon to be available from Pottersfield Press and Nimbus Publishing. Choyce and Barron first began talking about creative collaboration nearly 30 years ago while surfing together on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. Their 1990s band, Lesley Choyce and the SurfPoets recorded two CDs and their videos saw airplay on MuchMusic and elsewhere internationally. But the two bandmates drifted apart until a chance encounter at Dalhousie University just before COVID-19 restrictions closed the campus and discouraged most social interactions, including creative collaborations. Nonetheless, they decided to forge ahead with their project from separate locations. This is the result of their masterful melding of word and music."

Title: [Polish] - Chwile zamyślenia (Moments of Reflection)

Author: Barbara Bukowska

Narrator: Beata Poźniak

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 46 minutes

Release date: February 23, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

“Chwile zamyślenia” - Beata Poźniak, aktorka - tuż przed niespodziewaną śmiercią krewniaczki, Barbary Bukowskiej, otrzymuje wiersze napisane przez nią. Barbara “pisała tylko tak dla siebie”. Wiersze są osobiste, rodzinne - autorka przeprowadza rozmowę ze swoją podświadomoscią, z nadprzyrodzoną siłą, z Bogiem. Poźniak pisząc Wstęp do tomiku “Chwile zamyślenia”(ebook i paperback) i czytając wiersze Bukowskiej (audiobook), przypomina nam wszystkim, żeby się nie poddawać, czas doceniać, i…. jak autorka stwierdza, żeby “dobry ślad pozostawić po sobie na ziemi”. A znów Andriej Siniawski utrzymuje, że „Człowiek rodzi się w jednym egzemplarzu i kiedy ginie, nikt go nie może zastąpić.” Zatem każdy z nas ma potencjał w sobie i coś do ofiarowania z siebie innym. Należy tylko znaleźć to i dalej przekazywać maluczkim mieszkańcom planety Ziemi.

Title: Meister Eckhart's Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul

Author: Mark S. Burrows, Jon M. Sweeney

Narrator: Paul Heitsch

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 39 minutes

Release date: February 9, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court's verdict). In the 20th century, the Roman Catholic Church rehabilitated him and the late Pope John Paul II spoke of his work with fondness. However, what makes him of particular interest is the fact that he has influenced a wide range of spiritual teachers and mystics both inside and outside the Christian tradition. Erich Fromm, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, and Rudolf Steiner have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought. In addition, his work has influenced the development of 20th century American Buddhism and the Theosophical tradition. Eckhart wrote at a time—much like our own—when society appeared to be coming apart at the seams. In the midst of all that chaos and uncertainty, he captured the many forms and stages of the love of God, the mystic path, and the journey of transformation—in language so startling that he was accused of heresy. Now, seven centuries later, this fresh, stunning rendering of his work translates the essence of one of Christianity's greatest poetic and spiritual voices, conveying the heart of his teachings about what it means to love God and embark on a spiritual journey characterized by mystery, paradox, and an embrace of the unknown.

Title: Sixty Women Who Changed the Word

Author: Ann Plato, The Brontes, Emily Dickinson

Narrator: Laurel Lewkow, Ghizela Rowe, Stella Gonet

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 44 minutes

Release date: February 1, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Whether we understand it or recognise it, it is women who have shaped the course and journey of humanity. We are all born from women and usually raised by women. Half the world's population is female but many of them are trodden down by misogyny, religious misinterpretation, failing systems of education and welfare and all manner of other ills that shame us all. In a world where, gender, colour, race and orientation are still stumbling blocks to inclusion, women's words are too often unheard and neglected.Whilst the world has moved measurably forward in recent decades, although not enough, some progress has been made. Our poets wrote at a time when their basic rights as human beings were restrictive and oppressive. Against the odds, they were able to write verse, which in varying degrees, moved the literary needle and perhaps influenced their society in positive ways.This volume pays tribute to 50 different women poets, some well-known whilst others undeservedly forgotten but all contributing a single poem which we hope might nudge listeners to discover more of their verse.1 - Sixty Women That Changed the Word.

Title: The Poetry of Cats

Author: Rainer Maria Rilke, Christina Georgina Rossetti, William Wordsworth

Narrator: Stephen Hogan, Laurel Lefkow, Nigel Planer

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 6 minutes

Release date: February 1, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

The cat. Independent when it wants and making us dependent on its whims when it deems. Cats are first thought of as being domesticated in the Near East in about 7500 BC. A few thousand years later in Ancient Egypt they are worshipped as gods. From a domestic cat's point of view this is pretty much the life they want and that some cats lead right now. Their larger cousins whether in forest, savannah, mountains or desert were fated for their speed, strength, beauty, feline powers and prowess. They now live in a finely balanced world between freedom and declining numbers as their habitats are destroyed or taken from them. Across the centuries poets have written verse that captures all manner of thoughts on our complex relationship with all cats, though mainly the humble moggy, on whose whims we slave over, eager for a look of recognition, the nod of thanks or the purr of gratitude. 1 - The Poetry of Cats - An Introduction2 - The Cat and the Moon by William Butler Yeats3 - The Cat by Charles Baudelaire4 - The Lions by Joseph Mary Plunkett5 - The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear6 - An Appeal to Cats in the Business of Love by Thomas Flatman7 - To My Cat by Rosamund Marriott Watson8 - Verses on a Cat by Percy Bysshe Shelley9 - Milk For the Cat by Harold Munro10 - The Cats Have Come To Tea by Kate Greenaway11 - St Jerome's Cat by Anonymous12 - The Lazy Pussy by Palmer Cox13 - Sad Memories by Charles Calverly14 - Mrs Reynold's Cat by John Keats15 - Mujer by William Carlos Williams16 - Black Cat by Rainer Maria Rilke17 - The Cats Will Know by Cesare Pavese18 - A Cat by Edward Thomas19 - The Cat of the House by Ford Madox Ford20 - To Winky by Amy Lowell21 - The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke22 - Jaguar by Lola Ridge23 - Julbilate Agno by Christopher Smart24 - Little Tiger by H P Lovecraft25 - The Tiger by William Blake26 - Sonnet XIX - Devouring Time, Blunt Thou the Lion's Paws by William Shakespeare27 - The Lion Who Hunted with the Wolf and the Fox by Rumi28 - The Eagle, The Sow and the Cat by Anne Kingsmill Finch29 - The Vain Cat by Ambrose Bierce30 - To A Cat by Algernon Charles Swinburne31 - The Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat by Eugene Field32 - How the Feud Started by Arthur Guiterman33 - The Old Cat and the Young Mouse by Jean De La Fontaine34 - The Cat and the Old Rat by Jean de la Fontaine35 - The Rat-Catcher and Cats by John Gay36 - Two Little Kittens by Anonymous37 - Familiarity Dangerous by William Cowper38 - The Kitten and the Falling Leaves by William Wordsworth39 - The First Cat by Arthur Guiterman40 - Had Tiberius Been a Cat by Matthew Arnold41 - An Oxford Don Curses his Cat by Thomas Master42 - Pangur Ban - The Scholar and His Cat by Anonymous43 - Ode on the Death of a Favorite Cat - Drowned in a Tub of Goldfishes by Thomas Gray44 - On the Death of a Cat by Christina Georgina Rossetti45 - Epitaph on a Pet Cat by Joachim Du Bellay46 - Last Words To A Dumb Friend by Thomas Hardy
