Title: A Little History of Poetry

Author: John Carey

Narrator: Ralph Lister

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 52 minutes

Release date: April 21, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A vital, engaging, and hugely enjoyable guide to poetry, from ancient times to the present, by one of our greatest champions of literature What is poetry? If music is sound organized in a particular way, poetry is a way of organizing language. It is language made special so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work—over the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. This little history is about some that have not. John Carey tells the stories behind the world’s greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly four thousand years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our views of the world, such as Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman, and Yeats. He also looks at more recent poets, like Derek Walcott, Marianne Moore, and Maya Angelou, who have started to question what makes a poem “great” in the first place. This little history shines a light on the richness and variation of the world’s poems—and the elusive quality that makes them all the more enticing.

Title: Nature Poem

Author: Tommy Pico

Narrator: Tommy Pico

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 19 minutes

Release date: April 21, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A book-length poem about how an American Indian writer can't bring himself to write about nature, but is forced to reckon with colonial-white stereotypes, manifest destiny, and his own identity as an young, queer, urban-dwelling poet. Nature Poem follows Teebs—a young, queer, American Indian (or NDN) poet—who can't bring himself to write a nature poem. For the reservation-born, urban-dwelling hipster, the exercise feels stereotypical, reductive, and boring. He hates nature. He prefers city lights to the night sky. He'd slap a tree across the face. He'd rather write a mountain of hashtag punchlines about death and give head in a pizza-parlor bathroom; he'd rather write odes to Aretha Franklin and Hole. While he's adamant—bratty, even—about his distaste for the word 'natural,' over the course of the book we see him confronting the assimilationist, historical, colonial-white ideas that collude NDN people with nature. The closer his people were identified with the 'natural world,' he figures, the easier it was to mow them down like the underbrush. But Teebs gradually learns how to interpret constellations through his own lens, along with human nature, sexuality, language, music, and Twitter. Even while he reckons with manifest destiny and genocide and centuries of disenfranchisement, he learns how to have faith in his own voice.

Title: [Spanish] - Las sonatas - Dramatizado

Author: Ramón María Del Valle-Inclán

Narrator: Niloofer Khan, Pablo López

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 33 minutes

Release date: March 23, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

-Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. Sonata de primavera. Estando en Italia en el bello palacio Gaetani al marqués de Bradomín le es encargado, que haga llegar un mensaje al Papa a través de Monseñor Gaetani. Sonata de estío .El marqués de Bradomín siendo un hombre joven viaja por mar desde Londres a Mexico, para olvidarse de unos amores desafortunados y allí conoce a la niña Chole, una hermosa criolla de la que se enamora perdidamente. Sonata de invierno. Ya en la última parte de su vida, cansado y tras unos breves amores con una de las damas de honor de la reina, por encargo del rey carlista marcha Bradomín en busca de un monje. Sonata de otoño. El sentimiento de melancolía que evoca el otoño es el mismo de ese amor pasado que se recuerda de forma idealizada, sin reparar en los sufrimientos que produjo, que se han diluido con el paso del tiempo.  - Ramón María del Valle-Inclán fue un escritor español nacido en Villanueva de Arosa en 1866. Está considerado como uno de los autores más señeros de la literatura española de todos los tiempos. Su obra abarca la poesía, la novela y el teatro, y se adscribe tanto a la corriente modernista en sus primeros escritos como a la Generación del 98 en sus obras más maduras. Su obra literaria se compaginó con sus ensayos y artículos periodísticos, que publicó en periódicos de su época como El Correo Español y El Universal de México. Se le conoce como el creador y el máximo exponente del 'esperpento' españo, una modalidad de narración que intenta buscar la hipérbole satírica en el aspecto más trágico y miserable del realismo.
