Publisher's Summary:

Durante su estancia en Nueva York (entre 1929 y 1930), Federico García Lorca escribió «Poeta en Nueva York», su poemario más famoso. Lorca se sintió profundamente impresionado por la forma de vida de la sociedad norteamericana y desde que llegó a Nueva York empezó a sentir un odio creciente por el capitalismo y la industrialización de la sociedad moderna. Le parecía repulsivo el degradante trato que la mayoría blanca daba a la minoría negra. En este conjunto de poemas Lorca denuncia la injusticia, la discriminación y la deshumanización de la sociedad moderna. Lanza angustiados gritos reclamando que se cambien radicalmente los absurdos y egoístas ideales sociales y se vuelva a una sociedad en la que predomine la libertad, la justicia, el amor y la belleza. Muchos consideran esta obra como una de las obras poéticas más importantes de la historia. - Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) fue un poeta y dramaturgo español, uno de los mayores exponentes de la generación del 27. Su obra destaca por su fuerte simbolismo, así como por aunar referentes de la cultura popular andaluza y elevarlos a la alta cultura. Algunas de las más célebres son la obra de teatro «Bodas de sangre» o su poemario «Poeta en Nueva York». Fue asesinado al inicio de la Guerra Civil española a causa de su condición sexual y su ideología.

Title: Little Big Bully

Author: Heid E. Erdrich

Narrator: Heid E. Erdrich

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 51 minutes

Release date: October 6, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Winner of the 2022 Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry In a new collection that is 'a force of nature' (Amy Gerstler), renowned Native poet Heid E. Erdrich applies her rich inventive voice and fierce wit to the deforming effects of harassment and oppression. Little Big Bully begins with a question asked of a collective and troubled we - how did we come to this? In answer, this book offers personal myth, American and Native American contexts, and allegories driven by women's resistance to narcissists, stalkers, and harassers. These poems are immediate, personal, political, cultural, even futuristic object lessons. What is truth now? Who are we now? How do we find answers through the smoke of human destructiveness? The past for Indigenous people, ecosystem collapse from near-extinction of bison, and the present epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women underlie these poems. Here, survivors shout back at useless cautionary tales with their own courage and visions of future worlds made well.

Title: On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light: Poems

Author: Marge Piercy

Narrator: Marge Piercy

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 36 minutes

Release date: September 29, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A bountiful group of poems--direct, honest, and revelatory--that reflect on language, nature, old age, young love, Judaism, and our current politics, from one of our most read and admired poets 'Words are my business,' Marge Piercy begins her twentieth collection of poetry, a glance back at a lifetime of learning, loving, grieving, and fighting for the disenfranchised, and a look forward at what the future holds for herself, her family and friends, and her embattled country. In the opening section, Piercy tells of her childhood in Detroit, with its vacant lots and scrappy children, the bike that gave her wings, her ambition at fourteen to 'gobble' down all knowledge, and a too-early marriage ('I put on my first marriage / like a girdle my skinny body / didn't need'). We then leap into the present, her 'twilight zone,' where she is 'learning to be quiet,' learning to give praise despite it all. There are funny poems about medicine ads with their dire warnings, and some possible plusses about being dead: 'I'll never do another load of laundry . . .' There is 'comfort in old bodies / coming together,' in a partner's warmth--'You're always warm: warm hands / smooth back sleek as a Burmese cat./ Sunny weather outside and in.' Piercy has long been known for her political poems, and here we have her thoughts on illegal immigrants, dying languages, fraught landscapes, abortion, President-speak. She examines her nonbeliever's need for religious holidays and spiritual depth, and the natural world is appreciated throughout. On the Way Out, Turn Off the Light is yet more proof of Piercy's love and mastery of language--it is moving, stimulating, funny, and full of the stuff of life.

Title: [German] - Jazz & Lyrik (Ungekürzt)

Author: Peter Rühmkorf

Narrator: Peter Rühmkorf

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 20 minutes

Release date: September 22, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Wahlverwandtschaft zwischen Musik und Poesie 'Ich bin ja auch ein bißchen wie ein Instrument, d.h. meine Gedichte liegen fest, so wie die Tasten auf dem Klavier. Ich muß sie anschlagen mit der Stimme. Mein Gedicht, das ich lese, ist mein Instrument. Ich muß es nur intonieren', schreibt Peter Rühmkorf 1985. In der Geschichte der deutschen Literatur ist die von dem Lyriker Rühmkorf, dem Pianisten Naura und dem Vibraphonisten Schlüter entwickelte Form von Jazz & Lyrik einzigartig. Sie entstand in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren mit Auftritten, die von einem Wechsel zwischen dem gesprochenen Gedicht und Jazzmusik lebte und Vorbilder bereits in den dreißiger und vierziger Jahren in den USA hatten. Diese Vorform gipfelte 1966 in der Veranstaltung auf dem Hamburger Adolphsplatz (vgl. Chronologie). Ab diesem Zeitpunkt begannen die Überlegungen und Entwicklungen für gemeinsame Arrangements, Sets, Kompositionen; 1976 erschien die erste Schallplatte bei ECM mit Stücken, welche Gedichte Rühmkorfs in einen Klang zusammen mit den Instrumenten versetzten. 'Dieses Album dokumentiert wunderbar die Arbeit des Jazzmusikers Peter Rühmkorf, der seine Musik mit seiner Dichtkunst über die Jahrzehnte zu einer dritten Kunst verschmolzen hat.' Die Zeit

Title: The Math Campers: Poems

Author: Dan Chiasson

Narrator: Sybil Johnson, Dan Chiasson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 21 minutes

Release date: September 22, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A father and husband's meditation on love, adolescence, and the mysterious mechanisms of poetic creation, from the acclaimed poet. The poet's art is revealed in stages in this 'making-of' book, where we watch as poems take shape--first as dreams or memories, then as drafts, and finally as completed works set loose on the world. In the long poem 'Must We Mean What We Say,' a woman reader narrates in prose the circumstances behind poems and snippets of poems she receives in letters from a stranger. Who made up whom? Chiasson, an acclaimed poetry critic, has invented a remarkable structure where the reader and a poet speak to one another, across the void of silence and mystery. He is also the father of teenaged sons, and this volume continues the autobiographical arc of his prior, celebrated volumes. One long section is about the age of thirteen and the dawning of desire, while the title poem looks at the crucial age of fifteen and the existential threat of climate change and gun violence, which alters the calculus of adolescence. Though the outlook is bleak, these poems register the glories of our moment: that there are places where boys can kiss each other and not be afraid; that small communities are rousing and taking care of each other; that teenagers have mobilized for a better world. All of these works emerge from the secretive imagination of a father as he measures his own adolescence against that of his sons and explores the complex bedrock of marriage. Chiasson sees a perilous world both navigated and enriched by the passionate young and by the parents--and poets--who care for them.

Title: [Spanish] - La piel en los labios

Author: Miguel Gane

Narrator: Miguel Gane

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 34 minutes

Release date: September 17, 2020

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Miguel Gane, autor referente de la nueva generación de poetas, nos transporta en su tercer poemario a un universo lleno de sensualidad, en el que los sentidos son protagonistas esenciales. Poemas que cuentan el inicio y fin del amor desde el erotismo y lo corpóreo como un susurro leve que enarbola la piel. Desde Madrid a Londres pasando por París, el mundo fue nuestro por un instante. Nos quemamos en el fuego, nos revolcamos en la tierra y nos empapamos en el mar. Tan vivos, tan libres; todo lo probamos. Pero entendimos que estábamos ante el fin cuando aquello que nos había unido empezó a separarnos y, en el aire, fuimos dos aviones con rutas diferentes. Lo que queda después del amor es lo que nos define. Llevas mi piel en los labios, pero, nunca lo supe con seguridad, ¿los usaste para morderme o para besarme?
