Title: Waste Land

Author: T.S. Eliot

Narrator: Basil Munroe Godevenos

Length: 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/1/2016

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

The Waste Land is a highly influential 433-line modernist poem by T. S. Eliot. It is perhaps the most famous and most written-about long poem of the 20th century, dealing with the decline of civilization and the impossibility of recovering meaning in life. Despite the alleged obscurity of the poem-its shifts between satire and prophecy, its abrupt and unannounced changes of speaker, location and time, its elegiac but intimidating summoning up of a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures-the poem has nonetheless become a familiar touchstone of modern literature. Among its famous phrases are "April is the cruelest month" (its first line); "I will show you fear in a handful of dust"; and "Shantih shantih shantih" (its last line). The title is sometimes mistakenly written as "The Wasteland". (Summary from wikipedia.org)

Title: Sword Blades and Poppy Seed

Author: Amy Lowell

Narrator: LibriVox Volunteers

Length: 3 hrs 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2/22/2015

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

This is a volume of poems by Amy Lowell, published in 1914. "Against the multitudinous array of daily verse our times produce this volume utters itself with a range and brilliancy wholly remarkable. I cannot see that Miss Lowell's use of unrhymed 'vers libre' has been surpassed in English. Read 'The Captured Goddess', 'Music', and 'The Precinct. Rochester', a piece of mastercraft in this kind. A wealth of subtleties and sympathies, gorgeously wrought, full of macabre effects (as many of the poems are) and brilliantly worked out. The things of splendor she has made she will hardly outdo in their kind." (Josephine Preston Peabody, 'The Boston Herald', 1916)

Title: Homeric Hymns, Epigrams, and The Battle of Frogs and Mice

Author: Homer

Narrator: Arthur Krolman

Length: 3 hrs 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 1/26/2015

Publisher: LibriVox

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Homeric Hymns are thirty-three poems each paying homage to a certain Greek god. Only a few of the poems are more than 250 lines while the rest are about a dozen lines each. They are written in Homeric style and traditionally attributed to Homer but their true provenance is unknown. The Epigrams are a series of fragments on disparate topics including sailors, children and potters and are similarly attributed to Homer although it appears Hesiod and others wrote some of them. Finally, Battle of Frogs and Mice is a light-weight parody -- literally, at one-fiftieth the number of lines -- of Homer's famous battle of Greeks and Trojans epic, Illiad. - Summary by Arthur Krolman
