Author: Guido Pagliarino

Narrator: Patrizia Barrera

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 1 minute

Release date: August 20, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Nuova edizione rivista dall'autore, in parte accorciata e un poco variata. La prima edizione era esattamente di 1000 versi e s'intitolava "Centro Storico, racconto torinese in 1000 versi contro il razzismo". Si tratta d'un poema epico, o racconto in versi come oggi più comunemente si dice, un racconto corale che si snoda in "canti" intitolati a personaggi le cui vicende sono, direttamente o indirettamente, collegate. L'opera, scritta nell'anno 1990 anche se più volte rivista e qua e là variata dall'autore, si può leggere come un insieme di flash - quasi - storici su di un centro storico torinese oggi in notevole misura diverso.Nuova edizione rivista dall'autore e in parte variata e in parte accorciata.

Ne aveva scritto a suo tempo all'autore il compianto Giorgio Bárberi Squarotti: "Caro Pagliarino, ho letto con vivo interesse questa galleria di ritratti di personaggi di un quartiere torinese, quasi una specie di "antologia di Spoon River" di vivi (con qualche morto), raccontata dall'autore - testimone nel verso di ampio respiro, ben modulato e scandito, da cui i volti umani, le tragedie, le situazioni paradossali e grottesche vengono fuori con efficace rilievo. Spesso l'attacco fa pensare a Pavese: con un che di ben più cupo e desolato, tuttavia." PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Title: Life of the Party: Poems

Author: Olivia Gatwood

Narrator: Olivia Gatwood

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 33 minutes

Release date: August 20, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A dazzling debut collection of raw and explosive poems about growing up in a sexist, sensationalized world, from a thrilling new feminist voice. i’m a good girl, bad girl, dream girl, sad girl girl next door sunbathing in the driveway i wanna be them all at once, i wanna be all the girls I’ve ever loved —from “Girl” Lauded for the power of her writing and having attracted an online fan base of millions for her extraordinary spoken-word performances, Olivia Gatwood now weaves together her own coming-of-age with an investigation into our culture’s romanticization of violence against women. At times blistering and riotous, at times soulful and exuberant, Life of the Party explores the boundary between what is real and what is imagined in a life saturated with fear. Gatwood asks, How does a girl grow into a woman in a world racked by violence? Where is the line between perpetrator and victim? In precise, searing language, she illustrates how what happens to our bodies can make us who we are. Praise for Life of the Party “Delicately devastating, this book will make us all ‘feel less alone in the dark.’ ”—Miel Bredouw, writer and comedian, Punch Up the Jam   “Gatwood writes about the women who were forgotten and the men who got off too easy with an effortlessness and empathy and anger that yanked every emotion on the spectrum out of me. Imagine, we get to live in the age of Olivia Gatwood. Goddamn.”—Jamie Loftus, writer and comedian, Boss Whom Is Girl and The Bechdel Cast “I’ve read every poem in Life of the Party. I’ve read each of them more than once. In some parts of the book the spine is already breaking because I’ve spent so much time poring over it and losing hours in this world Olivia Gatwood has partly created, but partly just invited the reader to enter on their own, caution signs be damned. This book is enlightening, inspiring, igniting, and f***ing scary. I loved every word on every page with a ferocity that frightened me.”—Madeline Brewer, actress, The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange Is the New Black, and Cam

Publisher's Summary:

A stunning new volume from the first Native American Poet Laureate of the United States, informed by her tribal history and connection to the land. In the early 1800s, the Mvskoke people were forcibly removed from their original lands east of the Mississippi to Indian Territory, which is now part of Oklahoma. Two hundred years later, Joy Harjo returns to her family’s lands and opens a dialogue with history. In An American Sunrise, Harjo finds blessings in the abundance of her homeland and confronts the site where her people, and other indigenous families, essentially disappeared. From her memory of her mother’s death, to her beginnings in the native rights movement, to the fresh road with her beloved, Harjo’s personal life intertwines with tribal histories to create a space for renewed beginnings. Her poems sing of beauty and survival, illuminating a spirituality that connects her to her ancestors and thrums with the quiet anger of living in the ruins of injustice. A descendent of storytellers and “one of our finest―and most complicated―poets” (Los Angeles Review of Books), Joy Harjo continues her legacy with this latest powerful collection.

Title: Like: Poems

Author: A. E. Stallings

Narrator: A. E. Stallings

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 3 minutes

Release date: August 6, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry. A stunning new collection by the award-winning young poet and translator. Like, that currency of social media, is a little word with infinite potential; it can be nearly any part of speech. Without it, there is no simile, that engine of the lyric poem, the lyre’s note in the epic. A poem can hardly exist otherwise. In this new collection, her most ambitious to date, A. E. Stallings continues her archeology of the domestic, her odyssey through myth and motherhood in received and invented forms, from sonnets to syllabics. Stallings also eschews the poetry volume’s conventional sections for the arbitrary order of the alphabet. Contemporary Athens itself, a place never dull during the economic and migration crises of recent years, shakes off the dust of history and emerges as a vibrant character. Known for her wry and musical lyric poems, Stallings here explores her themes in greater depth, including the bravura performance Lost and Found, a meditation in ottava rima on a parent’s sublunary dance with daily-ness and time, set in the moon’s Valley of Lost Things.
