Title: Christopher Logue: War Music: The Author’s Own Recording

Author: Christopher Logue

Narrator: Christopher Logue

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 49 minutes

Release date: November 23, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

War Music is a dramatic poem based on Homer’s Iliad. Logue worked on it for more than forty years and it was left incomplete at his death in 2011. At the time of this recording it was divided into three parts: Kings, The Husbands, and War Music, the last of which is further divided into three sections: Patrocleia, GBH, and Pax. War Music later became the poem’s general title. Commissioned in the first instance by BBC Radio, War Music changed slightly as it developed, which means that there are a number of small discrepancies between the published and the recorded work. The Iliad itself is a continuous narrative of some 16,000 lines and is generally thought to be the product of a poetic tradition as much as or even more than of an individual poet. It tells the story of the war fought over the departure of Helen from Greece to Troy.

Title: A Sand Book

Author: Ariana Reines

Narrator: Ariana Reines

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 20 minutes

Release date: November 23, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A Sand Book is a poetry collection in twelve parts, a travel guide that migrates from wildfires to hurricanes, tweety bird to the president, lust to aridity, desertification to prophecy, and mother to daughter. It explores the negative space of what is happening to language and to consciousness in our strange and desperate times. From Hurricane Sandy to the murder of Sandra Bland to the massacre at Sandy Hook, from the sand in the gizzards of birds to the desertified mountains of Haiti, from Attar's 'Conference of the Birds' to Chaucer's 'Parliament of Fowls' to Twitter, A Sand Book is about change and quantification, the relationship between catastrophe and cultural transmission. It moves among houses of worship and grocery stores, flitters between geological upheaval and the weird weather of the Internet. In her long-awaited follow-up to Mercury, Reines has written her most ambitious work to date, but also her most visceral and satisfying.

Title: [Spanish] - Meteoro

Author: Julián López

Narrator: Julián López

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 17 minutes

Release date: November 20, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Una lectura lírica, contemporánea y tierna sobre del amor, la infancia, el ser hijo y encontrarle un sentido a la vida en una época de desaliento y soledad. «Julián López es un autor exquisito.» Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Poemas urbanos, melancólicos, amorosos. En ellos transcurren los días del ser hijo y se despliegan los aprendizajes trascendentes de la infancia, intuyéndolos en el susurro sensual entre el padre y la madre o arrancándolos de sus discusiones. Siguiendo los pasos de quien sale a trabajar, de quien cocina y lava y tiende la ropa al sol. Siguiendo los pasos de quien se apura a sacarla antes de que caigan las gotas de una tormenta intempestiva. Pero también, en estos poemas, juegan tiernas las horas con la persona amada, cuando la ciudad se entrega a la armonía natural de las plantas o se irrita con la disonancia del tránsito. Entonces, el estado de ánimo transforma la mirada sobre los objetos de la casa y del cielo que la abarca. Meteoro, como cada libro de Julián López, es una máquina expresiva, una aventura lírica que se abraza a la realidad como si se arrojara sobre una bomba. Para que le estalle en el pecho. La crítica ha dicho... «Una morosidad de detalles propia de la letanía pero también del poeta.» María Moreno «Julián López es un gran arquitecto de la literatura argentina.» Flavia Pittella «Con preciosismo en el manejo del lenguaje, Julián López propone al lector una experiencia inmersiva en la memoria sensible; un viaje que es al mismo tiempo vibrante, melancólico y sexual.» Verónica Abdala «Una masa, una masa poética y narrativa.» Silvina Giaganti

Title: Mianus Village

Author: Jack T. Scully

Narrator: Kent Cassella And Wendy Scully

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 58 minutes

Release date: November 11, 2021

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

MIANUS VILLAGE IS a vivid, entertaining collection of 36 free verse poems that read and sound more like short, short stories than abstract modern poetry. It tells the story of a blue-collar boy growing up in the rough and tumble atmosphere of a Veterans’ housing project in the years following World War II. Set on the banks of Riverside, Connecticut’s Mianus Village, it is reminiscent of the bittersweet, bygone days of our youth and simpler, safer times for our country. This audiobook will be especially appreciated by Baby Boomers whose Greatest Generation parents once saved the world from tyranny and genocide. Author David Huddle describes the book as a celebration of 'American innocence, decency, humor, and family life” while simultaneously mourning 'their loss.' Says author Peter Shea: 'MIANUS VILLAGE is going to sit you down in the easy chair of your mind. With metric simplicity and an uncanny choice of evocative words, Scully will take you to Mianus Village – a real place for sure, and the setting for many autobiographical tales, but also a place that is emblematic of the commonalities within all of us. 'Following a roughly progressive chronology, the work starts with a tale of a great-grandfather with a “brogue, thick as spud stew,” and ends with the death of his mother. Along the way, we meet some of the many characters that peopled his early life: Daddy, who fought “up the boot of Italy,” Gunner, the natural born killer; Dante, who loses a good portion of a digit to Jack’s Bowie knife; the crazy old fisherman Ike, and Eva Ruth, his secret love.” Simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking, MIANUS VILLAGE will slow down time’s winged flight in your life and make you a child again—every time you listen to it.
