Title: Reading the Bible Backwards

Author: Robert Priest

Narrator: Robert Priest

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 23 minutes

Release date: January 30, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Reverse engineering the word, meme splicing, morpheme replacement therapy, phonetic modifications: these are some of the techniques in play throughout Reading the Bible Backwards, the lyrical thought experiments that make up this eagerly anticipated new collection of poems by Robert Priest. By throwing the Bible and other cultural narratives on the turntable and spinning them backwards, Priest unleashes surprisingly new but strangely familiar music and meaning. Whether the movements are sideways, inverted, or omni-directional, his satire has never been sharper - or darker. Ultimately, though, Priest's lyric voice has never been more finely tuned or elegant, especially in the wonderfully groundbreaking "I Love You Forwards" poems that afford this book its remarkable balance.

Title: What Noise Against the Cane

Author: Desiree C. Bailey

Narrator: Desiree C. Bailey

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 35 minutes

Release date: January 25, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

The 115th volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets, What Noise Against the Cane is a lyric quest for belonging and freedom, weaving political resistance, Caribbean folklore, immigration, and the realities of Black life in America. Desiree C. Bailey begins by reworking the epic in an oceanic narrative of bondage and liberation in the midst of the Haitian Revolution. The poems move into the contemporary Black diaspora, probing the mythologies of home, belief, nation, and womanhood. Series judge Carl Phillips observes that Bailey’s “poems argue for hope and faith equally… These are powerful poems, indeed, and they make a persuasive argument for the transformative powers of steady defiance.”

Title: Love is Not Pie: Variations on a Monogamish Theme

Author: Katherine Lazaruk

Narrator: Katherine Lazaruk

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 17 minutes

Release date: January 24, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Caught between a loving husband and a man from her past, one woman chooses an unconventional way to explore her personal 'road not taken'. Love is not Pie is a personal exploration navigating the world of consensual non-monogamy and polyamory. This collection of poems - erotic, yearning, sweet and angry - was written by Lazaruk to and about her two beloved men over the course of several years. Collected here for the first time, the original poems are woven together with new pieces that provide context for how the story unfolded. In this expressive work of poetry, Lazaruk explores attachment, fear, love, lust, grief and the push-pull between what she knows is right and how she justifies her actions. Love is Not Pie will resonate with readers who have flirted with relationships outside the norm of Western marital conventions, as well as those who are interested in peering behind the curtain of what most of us show the world about our private lives. Narrated here by the author, she and her producer Paul Tedeschini, collaborated to create the sensual aural world of Love is Not Pie, setting the various scenes through the skillful use of sound design to add a unique ambience and feel to these tiny little gems. We hope you enjoy the audio experience. Please note it is best realized with headphones, both for the sound quality as well as for keeping the NSFW nature of this work on the DL while listening. Have fun!

Title: [Spanish] - Fungifuturismo

Author: Jimena Jurado

Narrator: Mimi Bejarano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 39 minutes

Release date: January 17, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

En esta obra cohabitan organismos atravesados por el contagio. Una voz huésped los altera, los distancia de sí mismos, pero los une también. ¿Qué hay detrás del Fungifuturismo y cuál es su último eslabón por depredar? Un patógeno comienza a extenderse por México, en busca de distintas especies vivas que garanticen su existencia. Su depredación provoca en ellas quiebres inesperados, cambios de visión, delirios. A lo largo del poemario, y desde distintas perspectivas, podremos atestiguar la llegada del Fungifuturismo. Por medio de la intertextualidad y la apropiación, esta obra dividida en cinco partes integra un diálogo entre lenguaje científico, la voz propia de poetas de siglos pasados y la vox populi: refranes, canciones, juegos infantiles... Todas ellas devienen, poco a poco, en una voz colectiva y se contagian entre sí para formar una horda, una poética zombi. Este audiolibro está narrado en español neutro. - Jimena Jurado (1991, Cuernavaca) es una poeta mexicana. Ha participado en ensayos, antologías, revistas como «Tierra Adentro», «Revista Penumbria», «Hýbris Magazine» o «Revista Himen» o en proyectos culturales como Librosb4tipos. Su canal de YouTube, ThePoemTube, está dedicado a la literatura. Es autora del poemario «Confín de nadie», obra ganadora en 2018 del certamen de publicación de obra inédita del Fondo Editorial del Estado de Morelos.

Title: Ordinary Beast: Poems

Author: Nicole Sealey

Narrator: Nicole Sealey

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 43 minutes

Release date: January 11, 2022

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

ONE OF PUBLISHERS WEEKLY'S TOP 10 POETRY BOOKS OF FALL 2017 NPR'S MOST ANTICIPATED POETRY BOOKS OF 2017 A striking, full-length debut collection from Virgin Islands-born poet Nicole Sealey The existential magnitude, deep intellect, and playful subversion of St. Thomas-born, Florida-raised poet Nicole Sealey’s work is restless in its empathic, succinct examination and lucid awareness of what it means to be human. The ranging scope of inquiry undertaken in Ordinary Beast—at times philosophical, emotional, and experiential—is evident in each thrilling twist of image by the poet. In brilliant, often ironic lines that move from meditation to matter of fact in a single beat, Sealey’s voice is always awake to the natural world, to the pain and punishment of existence, to the origins and demises of humanity. Exploring notions of race, sexuality, gender, myth, history, and embodiment with profound understanding, Sealey’s is a poetry that refuses to turn a blind eye or deny. It is a poetry of daunting knowledge.  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
