Title: Nocturne of Remembered Spring, and Other Poems

Author: Conrad Aiken

Narrator: Expatriate

Length: 2 hrs 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/10/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Written at the height of the Great War, the poems of this volume are suffused with a sense of melancholy and tragedy. Some of the poems (such as "1915: The Trenches") speak directly of war-time scenes and images, but even those which don't do so are permeated with a feeling of loss and desolation occasioned by the War. In spite of this pervading pathos, however, these poems are also filled with haunting beauty of imagery, drawn as Aiken so often does from natural images of wind, sea, and weather. - Summary by Expatriate

Title: Eros and Psyche

Author: Robert Bridges

Narrator: Nathan

Length: 2 hrs 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/9/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Bridges' Eros and Psyche retells the Eros (= Cupid) and Psyche myth first recorded by Lucius Apuleius in his book The Golden Ass. The poem is divided into twelve cantos - one for each of the twelve months of the year - which gives the poem a certain, almost "pastoral" feel. The number of stanzas in each canto equals the number of days in that month: so the first canto March has 31 stanzas, the second canto April has 30 stanzas, and so on. Each stanza is a septet (ie comprises exactly seven lines) which follow the same end-rhyming schema of a-b-a-b-c-c-b.(Summary by Godsend)

Title: Rape of Lucrece

Author: William Shakespeare

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 2 hrs 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/9/2017

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

The Rape of Lucrece (1594) is a narrative poem by William Shakespeare about the legendary Lucretia. Lucrece draws on the story described in both Ovid's Fasti and Livy's history of Rome. In 509 BC, Sextus Tarquinius, son of Tarquin, the king of Rome, raped Lucretia (Lucrece), wife of Collatinus, one of the king's aristocratic retainers. As a result, Lucrece committed suicide. Her body was paraded in the Roman Forum by the king's nephew. This incited a full-scale revolt against the Tarquins led by Lucius Junius Brutus, the banishment of the royal family, and the founding of the Roman republic. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Astrophil and Stella is a sonnet sequence written by Philip Sidney, an Elizabethan poet and courtier.
