Publisher's Summary:

Grammy Award–nominated, platinum-selling musician Halsey is heralded as one of the most compelling voices of her generation. In I Would Leave Me If I Could, she reveals never-before-seen poetry of longing, love, and the nuances of bipolar disorder. In this debut collection, Halsey bares her soul. Bringing the same artistry found in her lyrics, Halsey’s poems delve into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, sexuality, and mental illness. More hand grenades than confessions, these autobiographical poems explore and dismantle conventional notions of what it means to be a feminist in search of power.   Masterful as it is raw, passionate, and profound, I Would Leave Me If I Could signals the arrival of an essential voice.   Book cover painting, American Woman, by the author.   Halsey, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and recipient of the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Hal David Starlight Award.

Title: Here is the Beehive

Author: Sarah Crossan

Narrator: Sarah Crossan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 56 minutes

Release date: November 17, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A brilliantly original debut about a love affair cut short, and how lonely it is to live inside a secret -- for fans of Sally Rooney, Sheila Heti, and Ottessa Moshfegh. Ana Kelly can deal with death. As an estate lawyer, an unfortunate part of her day-to-day is phone calls from the next of kin informing her that one of her clients has died. But nothing could have prepared Ana for the call from Rebecca Taylor, explaining in a strangely calm tone that her husband Connor was killed in an accident. Ana had been having an affair with Connor for three years, keeping their love secret in hotel rooms, weekends away, and swiftly deleted text messages. Though consuming, they hide their love well, and nobody knows of their relationship except Mark, Connor's best friend. Alone and undone, Ana seeks friendship with the person who she once thought of as her adversary and opposite, but who is now the only one who shares her pain -- Rebecca. As Ana becomes closer to her lover's widow, she is forced to reconcile painful truths about the affair, and the fickleness of love and desire. Funny, frank, and strange, Sarah Crossan's moving novel is wholly original and deeply resonant.

Title: The Tale of a Niggun

Author: Elie Wiesel

Narrator: Elisha Wiesel, John Rubinstein

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 46 minutes

Release date: November 17, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Elie Wiesel’s heartbreaking narrative poem about history, immortality, and the power of song. Based on an actual event that occurred during World War II.   It is the evening before the holiday of Purim, and the Nazis have given the ghetto’s leaders twenty-four hours to turn over ten Jews to be hanged to “avenge” the deaths of the ten sons of Haman, the villain of the Purim story, which celebrates the triumph of the Jews of Persia over potential genocide some 2,400 years ago. If the leaders refuse, the entire ghetto will be liquidated. Terrified, they go to the ghetto’s rabbi for advice; he tells them to return the next morning. Over the course of the night the rabbi calls up the spirits of legendary rabbis from centuries past for advice on what to do, but no one can give him a satisfactory answer. The eighteenth-century mystic and founder of Hasidism, the Baal Shem Tov, tries to intercede with God by singing a niggun—a wordless, joyful melody with the power to break the chains of evil.   The next evening, when no volunteers step forward, the ghetto’s residents are informed that in an hour they will all be killed. As the minutes tick by, the ghetto’s rabbi teaches his assembled community the song that the Baal Shem Tov had sung the night before. And then the voices of these men, women, and children soar to the heavens.   How can the heavens not hear?

Title: Letters to a Young Poet: With the Letters to Rilke from the 'Young Poet'

Author: Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Xaver Kappus

Narrator: P.J. Ochlan

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 19 minutes

Release date: November 10, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A work that has inspired generations, this new edition of Letters to a Young Poet features a fresh translation of Rilke's ten classic letters, along with the missing letters from the young poet himself. For nearly a century, eager writers and young poets, as well as those simply looking for a purpose in life, have embraced the wisdom of Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, first published in 1929. Most readers and scholars have long assumed that the letters from the young poet were forever lost to posterity. Yet, shockingly, these letters were recently uncovered in Germany, and now the acclaimed translator Damion Searls has not only cast a fresh eye on Rilke's original letters but also those of the 'young poet,' Franz Xaver Kappus, an Austrian military cadet and an aspiring poet. This timeless edition, in addition to presenting their dialogue together for the first time in English, provides a new window into the workings of Rilke's visionary poetic and philosophical mind, allowing us to reexperience the literary genius of one of the most inspiring works of twentieth-century literature.

Title: [Spanish] - Azul...

Author: Rubén Darío

Narrator: Chema Agulló

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 1 minute

Release date: October 29, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

«Azul...» se publicó por primera vez en Valparaíso (Chile) en 1888. Esta obra, llena de la simbología propia del movimiento modernista: el color azul, el cisne blanco, las estaciones..., es una recopilación de textos que Rubén Darío había publicado previamente en la prensa chilena y que supuso la inauguración del modernismo poético, movimiento literario de inspiración francesa que se extendió por todos los países de lengua española. La obra recoge tanto relatos en prosa como poemas, cuya variedad métrica llamó la atención de la crítica, y muestra ya algunas de las preocupaciones características de Darío, como la insatisfacción ante la sociedad burguesa. - Rubén Darío (1867-1916) fue un poeta nicaragüense, considerado uno de los poetas más importantes de las letras hispanas de la historia universal. Fue el máximo exponente del movimiento del modernismo literario. Su obra, que revolucionó la métrica de la poesía escrita en español, trata temas como el erotismo, el exotismo, el aspecto social o incluso el ocultismo.
