Title: [Spanish] - No amarás

Author: Lorena Pronsky

Narrator: Claudia Bergallo

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 10 hours 54 minutes

Release date: April 22, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

No amarás es un viaje de autodescubrimiento, sanación y transformación personal. Este libro es una esperanza para quien haya sobrevivido a una relación tóxica, así como también para cualquiera que esté transitando una ruptura o un duelo. Es momento de reparar viejas heridas y dejar que el amor regrese de manera saludable y segura. Relaciones dependientes, no correspondidas, patológicas o violentas. Vínculos que disparan contra nuestra autoestima o la del otro, y nos muestran que hay lugares donde amar resulta un acto imposible. Historias de las que nos resistimos a retirarnos, aunque quedarnos nos lastime. (Des)amores que nos golpean, que nos dañan, pero que por alguna potente y misteriosa razón permanecen en nuestra vida. Patrones que se repiten, con un mismo principio y un mismo final. En contra de nuestro propio deseo. ¿Cuáles son los motivos que nos llevan a habitar una y otra vez esos espacios de dolor, a encaminarnos al mismo inexorable destino de frustración y padecimiento? En estas páginas Lorena Pronsky nos propone una búsqueda, un camino. Nos invita a averiguar quiénes somos, qué nos lleva a incurrir reiteradamente en comportamientos y zonas que nos hacen daño. Indagar, tratar de entender; conocer nuestra propia verdad para hacer posible un ejercicio saludable del amor. Mientras que esto no suceda, el final de tu cuento, hagas lo que hagas, intentes lo que intentes, siempre será el mismo. Ahí, justo ahí, NO AMARÁS.

Title: A Country of Strangers: New and Selected Poems

Author: D. Nurkse

Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 28 minutes

Release date: April 19, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

In an illuminating collection of selected poems over thirty-five years, one of our most essential American poets casts a clear eye on our politics, our places, and our heart’s hidden stories. D. Nurkse’s immigrant parents met on a boat out of Europe in 1940; he was a child of the generation whose anxieties were forged in the shadow of Hiroshima and the aftermath of WWII. His poems extend that child’s dignified ignorance into an open encounter with the cataclysms of the latter twentieth century and with family structures.   Whispers of the old country of Estonia provide the backdrop for the boy’s baseballs, thrown in the fading twilight of the 1950s (“Secretly, I was proudest of my skill / at standing alone in the darkness”). The young man explores sexual passion and the arrival of a child in a young marriage (“We showed her daylight in our cupped hands”), while the mature poet writes of loneliness and community in our cities (“but on the streets / there was no one”), and the urgent need for us to keep expressing our will as citizens.   Throughout this matchless career, over eleven books, Nurkse has crafted visceral lines that celebrate the fragility of what simply exists—birdsong, moonrise, illness, water towers—and the complexity of human perception, our stumble forward through it toward understanding.

Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A bold, mesmerizing debut collection exploring womanhood, the body, mental illness, and what it means to move between cultures  Renowned for her storytelling and spoken-word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka is also an exultant, fierce, and visceral poet whose work leaves a lasting impact. Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease. Vivid and bodily while also deeply cerebral, Woman, Eat Me Whole is a searing debut collection from a poet with an inimitable voice and vision.

Title: [Spanish] - Poesía reunida

Author: Piedad Bonnett

Narrator: Piedad Bonnett

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 5 hours 19 minutes

Release date: April 1, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Una muy cuidada edición, propia para que en ella se reuna la poesía, de una de las voces más intuitivas, profundas y sentidas de la actual poesía colombiana.. Aquí lo que habla es el espíritu y se lo dice al corazón. Este audiolibro reúne por primera vez toda la poesía de Piedad Bonnett, una obra que comenzó en 1989 con la aparición de De circulo y ceniza y que ha tenido estaciones tan afortunadas como El hilo de los días (1995), Tretas del débil (2004) y Explicaciones no pedidas (2011), el más reciente de sus poemarios y ganador del Premio Casa de América de Poesía Americana 2011. Reseñas: «Piedad Bonnett [...] encauza sus sentimientos en un lenguaje neutro, dolorosamente contenido, casi lacónico y que funciona con insinuaciones y elipsis, a la manera de un iceberg que esconde bajo el agua una masa terrible.» Carlos López Degregori «Piedad Bonnett escribe desde el abismo e ilumina las sombras con un texto penetrante e imprescindible.» Rosa Montero «Bonnett transita en su literatura los matices del dolor, de lo estremecedor, para tratar de digerir la vida. Con la honestidad como brújula, habla de sus propias heridas y las de su país.» Anatxu Zabalbeascoa, El País Semanal «La narrativa de Piedad Bonnett —su poesía— le da todo lo que la sociedad, su familia, el mundo no han podido darle. Sus palabras pueblan el despojo.» Giuseppe Caputo «'A mí la poesía me ha salvado la vida'. Así de contundente se muestra la escritora colombiana Piedad Bonnett, quien tras un paréntesis, muda de dolor provocado por el suicidio de su hijo, ha terminado un nuevo poemario, Los encerrados, y publica por primera vez su poesía reunida en un solo volumen». EFE «Piedad Bonnett es sin duda hoy una de las poetas de Colombia (país de fértil lírica) de mayor interés.» Luis Antonio de Villena, El Norte de Castilla

Title: Canopy: Poems

Author: Linda Gregerson

Narrator: Linda Gregerson

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 24 minutes

Release date: March 22, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A long-awaited yet startlingly urgent new collection from “a contemporary master”*—a fierce, big-hearted eye on our last, tumultuous decade, and our fragile environment *Los Angeles Review of Books Linda Gregerson’s long-awaited new collection is a tour de force, a compendium of lives touched by the radical fragility of the planet and, ultimately, the endless astonishment and paradox of being human within the larger ecosystem, “in a world where every breath I take is luck.” From the Syrian refugee and ecological crises, to police brutality and COVID, to the Global Seed Vault buried under permafrost, the poems ask: How does consciousness relate to the individual body, the individual to the communal, the community to our environment? How do we mourn a loved one, and how do we mourn strangers? The magnificent poems in Canopy catalogue and reckon with humanity and the natural world, mortality, rage, love, grief, and survival.

Title: Deep Wheel Orcadia: Winner of the 2022 Arthur C Clarke Award

Author: Harry Josephine Giles

Narrator: Harry Josephine Giles

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 4 hours 39 minutes

Release date: March 17, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Please note, this audio edition alternates between sections written and performed in the Orkney dialect, and their English translations. Astrid is returning home from art school on Mars, looking for inspiration. Darling is fleeing a life that never fit, searching for somewhere to hide. They meet on Deep Wheel Orcadia, a distant space station struggling for survival as the pace of change threatens to leave the community behind. Deep Wheel Orcadia is a magical first: a science-fiction verse-novel written in the Orkney dialect. This unique adventure in minority language poetry is followed by a parallel translation into playful and vivid English, so the listener will miss no nuance of the original. The rich and varied cast weaves a compelling, lyric and effortlessly readable story around place and belonging, work and economy, generation and gender politics, love and desire – all with the lightness of touch, fluency and musicality one might expect of one the most talented poets to have emerged from Scotland in recent years. Hailing from Orkney, Harry Josephine Giles is widely known as a fine poet and spellbindingly original performer of their own work; Deep Wheel Orcadia now strikes out into audacious new space.
