Title: The Flowers of Evil

Author: Charles Baudelaire, Frank Pearce Sturm

Narrator: Denis Daly

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 18 minutes

Release date: May 2, 2023

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Baudelaire’s most famous collection of poems is The Flowers of Evil, which was published in 1857 and which was widely condemned as being unwholesome and decadent. The publication actually led to Baudelaire being prosecuted on a charge of offending public morals. There have been numerous translations of Baudelaire’s work into English, but many of them have been judged as not being particularly successful. Sturm’s version of The Flowers of Evil is unusual and notable for its accuracy in capturing the elusive appeal of the originals. This recording also includes a critical study of the poet by Sturm.

Title: Metamorphoses

Author: Publius Ovidius Naso

Narrator: Peter Tucker

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 11 hours 54 minutes

Release date: May 1, 2023

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Ovid's Metamorphoses is an epic poem written in Latin, composed of fifteen books, which explores the theme of transformation and change. The narrative follows a chronological order, beginning with the world's creation and ending with the reign of Julius Caesar. Ovid retells traditional Greek and Roman myths, focusing on the transformations of gods, heroes, and mortals as they undergo physical, emotional, and psychological changes that reflect the complexities of the human experience. Some of the most famous stories in the Metamorphoses include the tales of Apollo and Daphne, Pyramus and Thisbe, Narcissus and Echo, and the fall of Icarus. While modern scholars consider this epic poem to be Ovid's magnum opus, the work was not well received by its contemporaries; the Roman emperor Augustus went so far as to exile Ovid and ban his books from Rome's libraries. Today, this work is considered one of the most influential works in Western culture and has inspired countless authors like Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Dante.

Title: Paradise Lost

Author: John Milton

Narrator: Thomas A. Copeland

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 54 minutes

Release date: May 1, 2023

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by the Puritan English poet John Milton between 1658 and 1663, and published in 1667. This is a period of English history which encompasses the end of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. Perhaps reflecting some of his country's turmoil during Milton's life, Paradise Lost deals with revolution in Heaven by Satan and his followers against God, their defeat and banishment to Hell, and their subsequent plotting of revenge, leading ultimately to Satan beguiling Eve in Paradise to taste the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge against the explicit command of God. Milton's vivid and poetic description of these events is both dramatic and compelling. The work gained swift acceptance and has always remained a popular and important part of English literature. Originally published in ten books, a second edition was published in 1674 arranged into twelve books, the form in which it appears here.

Title: Pullman

Author: Joanne Mcfarland

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 33 minutes

Release date: April 20, 2023

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

With urgency, and without apology, JoAnne McFarland's multimedia collection Pullman underscores the relationships between the events of our American past and of our present. JoAnne McFarland's Pullman examines themes of labor and love, using as its backdrop the history of the treatment of the Pullman car porters of the late 19th century. The poems and art pieces in this collection both reflect on and interact with cultural and historical sources, from the slave narratives of Harriet Jacobs to the creative output of the poet and artist's late father, a musician and songwriter for Aretha Franklin. With urgency, and without apology, Pullman underscores the relationships between the events of our American past and of our present. 'Every poem I write is a lullaby. / Once upon a time there were men who helped other / men reach their destinations. / They carried their coats and cases, served them their / meals and liquor, then tucked them up in their beds. / This poem prepares you to let your guard down, / that's its job. / It treats you like a child. // They treated them like children.'

Title: Sweet Dreams

Author: Rick Telander

Narrator: Rick Telander

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 43 minutes

Release date: April 19, 2023

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

'Sweet Dreams'' consists of 42 original poems with bedtime, sleep, and dreaming as their central themes. The poems are traditional in form and follow rhyme and meter, done in in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses. Topics include moonlit nights, snowy days, dreams of dinosaurs in the bedroom, annoyance at a Key West rooster crowing all night, what it would be like to wake up as a worm, the oddness of a fever ailment, gazing at autumn leaves from a gently rocking hammock, the comforting protection of an unseen guardian angel, and fancies like 'The Softest Bed'' in which a child envisions himself curling up, wrapping himself in his warm, bushy tail, and sleeping like a fox. Started when Telander himself was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this poetry collection spoken by the author is a work of caring for boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod. Sweet Dreams will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe children of all ages before sleep. It's soothing for adults, too, since all of us do, indeed, sleep.

Title: Trace Evidence

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A Chicago Review of Books Most Anticipated Chicago Book of 2023 'A truly magical achievement.' —Ocean Vuong In Trace Evidence, the urgent follow-up to his award-winning debut Into Each Room We Enter without Knowing, Charif Shanahan continues his piercing meditations on the intricacies of mixed-race identity, queer desire, time, mortality, and the legacies of anti-Blackness in the US and abroad. At the collection's center sits 'On the Overnight from Agadir,' a poem that chronicles Shanahan's survival of a devastating bus accident in Morocco, his mother's birth country, and ruminates on home, belonging, and the mysteries of fate. With rich lyricism, power, and tenderness, Trace Evidence centers the racial periphery and excavates the vestiges of our violent colonial past in the most intimate aspects of our lives. In a language yoked equally to the physical and metaphysical worlds, the poet articulates the need we all share for real intimacy and connection, and proves, time and again, that the true cost of our separateness is the love that our survival requires.
