Title: This Wound Is a World

Publisher's Summary:

Billy-Ray Belcourt’s debut poetry collection, This Wound Is a World, is “a prayer against breaking,” writes trans Anishinaabe and Métis poet Gwen Benaway. “By way of an expansive poetic grace, Belcourt merges a soft beauty with the hardness of colonization to shape a love song that dances Indigenous bodies back into being. This book is what we’ve been waiting for.” Part manifesto, part memoir, This Wound Is a World is an invitation to “cut a hole in the sky / to world inside.” Belcourt issues a call to turn to love and sex to understand how Indigenous peoples shoulder their sadness and pain without giving up on the future. His poems upset genre and play with form, scavenging for a decolonial kind of heaven where “everyone is at least a little gay.” Presented here with several additional poems, this prize-winning collection pursues fresh directions for queer and decolonial theory as it opens uncharted paths for Indigenous poetry in North America. It is theory that sings, poetry that marshals experience in the service of a larger critique of the coloniality of the present and the tyranny of sexual and racial norms.

Publisher's Summary:

Poetry is often cited as our greatest use of words. The English language has well over a million of them and poets down the ages seem, at times, to make use of every single one. But often they use them in simple ways to describe anything and everything from landscapes to all aspects of the human condition. Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings.Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children’s textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy and relevance to our lives today. Where to start? How to do that? Poetry can be difficult. We’ve put together some very eclectic Poetry Hours, with a broad range of poets and themes, to entice you and seduce you with all manner of temptations. In this hour we introduce poets of the quality and breadth of Ben Jonson and Jalalludin Rumi as well as themes on The Female Poet, Hell, Victorian Poetry and more.All of them are from Portable Poetry, a dedicated poetry publisher. We believe that poetry should be a part of our everyday lives, uplifting the soul & reaching the parts that other arts can’t. Our range of audiobooks and ebooks cover volumes on some of our greatest poets to anthologies of seasons, months, places and a wide range of themes. Portable Poetry can found at iTunes, Audible, the digital music section on Amazon and most other digital stores. This audio book is also duplicated in print as an ebook. Same title. Same words. Perhaps a different experience. But with Amazon’s whispersync you can pick up and put down on any device – start on audio, continue in print and any which way after that.

Title: The Poetry of Harold Munro

Author: Harold Munro

Narrator: Jake Urry, Gideon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 7 minutes

Release date: January 1, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Harold Edward Munro was born on the 14th of March 1879 at 137 chaussée de Charleroi, Saint-Gilles, Brussels.He was educated at Radley College and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. On 2nd December 1903 in Ireland Munro married Dorothy Elizabeth Browne. Unfortunately the marriage was not to last and they separated in 1908. In 1906 his first collection of poetry, Poems, was published. Many volumes followed but Munro was never regarded as highly as his contemporaries. Perhaps his forays into magazines, editing and publishing and his bookshop has unfairly diminished his poetic contribution.In 1912 he became the editor of the influential magazine, The Poetry Review, but was ousted after a year. In 1913 he founded the Poetry Bookshop in Bloomsbury. From here he would also publish new volumes of poetry by himself and other writers. With Edward Marsh he published annual volumes of Georgian Poetry in the process establishing it as a very fine poetry movement. Munro was often tortured by his sexuality and although he married twice some of his poems reveal his truer feelings. As the Great War smothered Europe with its monstrous destruction of a generation, the War Poets spoke.Munro himself wrote only a few war poems but his ‘Youth in Arms’ quartet, written in the first months of the carnage, was an early attempt to explore the human psychology of soldiering and to understand how ungrudgingly youth dies.After the war Munro continued his efforts with the Poetry Bookshop and expanded into several new projects. He was searching both as a writer, and as a publisher, for the middle ground that was both culturally exciting and commercially worthwhile.In his later years his mood darkened, his drinking escalated and became a real problem. Sadly amongst the stresses and the strains he contracted tuberculosis. Harold Edward Munro died on the 16th March 1932 aged 53. He was cremated at Golders Green crematorium.It was later remarked of him ‘Perhaps no one did more for the advancement of twentieth-century poetry’.

Narrator: Jesse Wright, Danny Swopes, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 1 minute

Release date: January 1, 2020

Publisher's Summary:

James Weldon Johnson was born in Jacksonville, Florida on June 17th 1871. His mother, Helen, a musician and a public school teacher initially home-schooled him giving him a love of both English literature and European music. At 16 his education moved to Atlanta University and he graduated with a degree in 1894. In 1904 Johnson helped in Theodore Roosevelt's presidential bid. On winning Roosevelt appointed him as US consul at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela in 1906 and then Nicaragua from 1909. Johnson worked for the NAACP from 1916 as a field secretary, organizing local chapters. To counter race riots and lynching’s he organized mass demonstrations, such as a silent protest parade of over ten thousand African Americans down New York’s Fifth Avenue in July 1917. In 1920 Johnson was elected to manage the NAACP, the first African American to hold this position. That same year he was dispatched to monitor conditions in Haiti and described in The Nation the brutal occupation and also offered remedies. During the 1920’s he was one of the major inspirations of the Harlem RenaissanceIn the midst of all this he continued to write novels, poems, and folklore. In 1917, he saw published ‘50 Years and Other Poems’. In 1922, he edited ‘The Book of American Negro Poetry’, which the Academy of American Poets calls "a major contribution to the history of African-American literature." In 1927 followed ‘God's Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse’. One of the first African-American professors at NYU he was also, later, a professor of creative literature and writing at Fisk University. His career spanned several elements; education, the diplomatic corps, civil rights activism, literature, poetry, and music. James Weldon Johnson died on June 26th, 1938 whilst vacationing in Wiscasset, Maine when his car was hit by a train.
