Title: Collected Verse of Louis Esson

Author: Louis Esson

Narrator: Denis Daly

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 1 minute

Release date: December 17, 2024

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Esson’s first collection of poems, Bells and Bees, was published in 1910; a second collection, Red Gums and Other Verses, in 1912. Although Esson published no further poetry collections, his verse continued to appear in magazines such as The Bulletin until the late 1920s. Included in his verse are not only bush ballads such as “Whalin’ up the Lachlan,” but also somber meditations such as “The Travail of Nature,” monologues like “Silenus to a Young Satyr,” and thundering panegyrics like “The Bazaar of Death.” As a rule, Esson’s poems are quite short and, despite occasional infelicities, display a tidy and skillful use of language.

Title: Dark of the Moon

Author: Sara Teasdale

Narrator: Martha H. Weller

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 40 minutes

Release date: December 3, 2024

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Dark of the Moon was first published in 1926. Its 92 poems are divided into 9 sections: There Will be Stars; Pictures of Autumn; Sand Drift; Portraits; Midsummer Nights; The Crystal Gazer; Berkshire Notes; Arcturus in Autumn; and The Flight. Teasdale repeatedly expresses the joy, wonder and freedom she feels when she is immersed in nature. Yet nature is not sufficient. She yearns for love and the rapture of “Two Minds” who have “freed themselves from cautious human clay.” Many of the poems in this collection are tied to specific places. In “Late October (Bois de Boulogne)”, Teasdale, in the space of eight lines of verse, evokes the sounds of her surroundings and recognizes the wisdom of being both present in and attentive to the passage of time, represented by “autumn.” The poet returns often to the theme of autumn, both in the seasonal sense and in her own personal autumn. There are regrets and longings, but she also wants people to know that she has loved her life and honors the memory of those whom she has loved.

Title: Water, Water: Poems

Author: Billy Collins

Narrator: Billy Collins

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 30 minutes

Release date: November 19, 2024

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the former Poet Laureate of the United States and New York Times bestselling author of Aimless Love comes a wondrous new collection of poems focused on the joys and mysteries of daily life. “Among the best poems that [Billy] Collins has ever written.”—Maureen Corrigan, NPR “Witty, wry and tender when it hurts, Water, Water is a pleasure to read and easy to give.”—The Washington Post “Collins remains the most companionable of poetic companions.”—The New York Times One of People’s Best New Books In this collection of sixty new poems, Billy Collins writes about the beauties and ironies of everyday experience. A poem is best, he feels, when it begins in clarity but ends with a whiff of mystery. In Water, Water, Collins combines his vigilant attention and respect for the peripheral to create moments of delight. Common and uncommon events are captured here with equal fascination, be it a cat leaning to drink from a swimming pool, a nurse calling a name in a waiting room, or an astronaut reciting Emily Dickinson from outer space. With his trademark lyrical informality, Collins asks us to slow down and glimpse the elevated in the ordinary, the odd in the familiar. It’s no surprise that The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal both call Collins one of America’s favorite poets. The Monet Conundrum Is every one of these poems different from the others he asked himself, as the rain quieted down, or are they all the same poem, haystack after haystack at different times of day, different shadows and shades of hay?
