Title: The Making of Poetry: Coleridge, the Wordsworths and Their Year of Marvels

Publisher's Summary:

SHORTLISTED FOR THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD 2019 Wordsworth and Coleridge as you’ve never seen them before in this new book by Adam Nicolson, brimming with poetry, art and nature writing. Proof that poetry can change the world. It is the most famous year in English poetry. Out of it came The Ancient Mariner and ‘Kubla Khan’, as well as Coleridge’s unmatched hymns to friendship and fatherhood, Wordsworth’s revolutionary verses in Lyrical Ballads and the greatness of ‘Tintern Abbey’, his paean to the unity of soul and cosmos, love and understanding. Bestselling and award-winning writer Adam Nicolson tells the story, almost day by day, of the year in the late 1790s that Coleridge, Wordsworth, his sister Dorothy and an ever-shifting cast of friends, dependants and acolytes spent together in the Quantock Hills in Somerset. To a degree never shown before, The Making of Poetry explores the idea that these poems came from this place, and that only by experiencing the physical circumstances of the year, in all weathers and all seasons, at night and at dawn, in sunlit reverie and moonlit walks, can the genesis of the poetry start to be understood. What emerges is a portrait of these great figures as young people, troubled, ambitious, dreaming of a vision of wholeness, knowing they had greatness in them but still in urgent search of the paths towards it. The poetry they made was not from settled conclusions but from the adventure on which they were all embarked, seeing what they wrote as a way of stripping away all the dead matter, exfoliating consciousness, penetrating its depths. Poetry for them was not an ornament for civilisation but a challenge to it, a means of remaking the world.

Title: Broke

Author: Mark Berry

Narrator: Mark Berry

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 23 minutes

Release date: May 29, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

These poems were mostly written in 1987 while recovering in Clifton, Bristol in England. It heralded the start of a huge change for me, and I felt broken. The love of my life had just come to a messy end, and I'd been hitting the LSD too hard. Things felt beyond my control, and I now had to learn how to wait-out the wounds for the first time. I began to write, to compensate for the anxiety and emotional state that I was struggling with. *** Bullets of Madness - I'm standing awaiting caught in commotion as the voices call through a veil I hear them and fear them even need rescuing they make me aware of the nail that drives through our senses when alone it commences to obsess me in sweet delusions the nail it pierces my heart as it fleeces the last of courage from my mansion as I tasted the apple I quaked and my rattle fell out from my innocent hand I learnt of your lessons obeyed your deceptions and was made to fit into your plans and now I can feel the noise of the void as the motion slows to a halt feels like I'm dying I'm scared of trying to make sense just to please them all I was shot down as the black limousine slowed to a glistening halt the devil climbed out his gestures obscene my fears all came bleeding out I knew he would laugh as I fell to the ground he had won the final bout shot with bullets of madness or bullets of sadness my heart ached 'til it wanted to stop I can't understand you my mind burns with fire I always just wished to belong alone is no home just broken desire I've been shot down for being in love *** Cover image copyright info: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cosmic_fireflies.jpg Some colour filters have been added to effect the original.

Release date: May 23, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Ya puedes escuchar el audiolibro de poemas y canciones de Pancho Varona, artista de primera línea, compositor y mano derecha de Joaquín Sabina, que encantarán a todo sabinero que se precie. Las pociones que prepara Pancho Varona llevan ingredientes que sanan el alma: una buena dosis de poemas canallas y seductores, unas cucharadas de canciones compuestas para muchos y unas cuantas más de las escritas para nadie; y, por supuesto, una pizca de sabor a madrugada y a wiski abandonado en la barra de un bar cualquiera. *** El guitarrista, compositor y mano derecha de Sabina nos muestra su parte más íntima, sus escritos y sus canciones. Muchos de los textos tienen ese estilo noctámbulo tan característico en el imaginario de Joaquín del que Pancho ha sido parte durante casi 30 años, pero también nos sorprende con matices y temas más personales e igualmente maravillosos. Qué mejor que escucharlos en formato audiolibro.

Title: I Must Be Living Twice: New and Selected Poems

Author: Eileen Myles

Narrator: Eileen Myles

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 42 minutes

Release date: May 17, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

A collection of thrilling verse, including both new poems and beloved favorites, from the celebrated poet, modern cult icon, and author of Chelsea Girls. Eileen Myles’ work is known for its blend of reality and fiction, the sublime and the ephemeral. Her work opens readers to astonishing new considerations of familiar places, like the East Village in her iconic Chelsea Girls, and invites them into lush—and sometimes horrid—dream worlds, imbuing the landscapes of her writing with the vividness and energy of fantasy. I Must Be Living Twice brings together selections from the poet’s previous work with a set of bold new poems that reflect her sardonic, unapologetic, and fiercely intellectual literary voice. Steeped in the culture of New York City, Myles’ milieu, I Must Be Living Twice is a prism refracting a radical world and a compelling life.

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 4 minutes

Release date: May 17, 2019

Publisher's Summary:

The first all-new collection of poems since 2011’s Snowflake/different streets―and following the critically acclaimed Afterglow (a dog memoir), as well as the volume of selected poems, I Must Be Living Twice―here, in Evolution, we find the eminent, exuberant writer at the forefront of American literature, upending genre in a new vernacular that enacts―like nobody else―the way we speak (inside and out) today. Evolution, with its channeling of Quakers, Fresca, and cell phones, radiates vital insight, purpose, and risk, like in these opening lines of the title poem: Something unearthly about today so I buy a Diet Coke & a newspaper a version of “me” something about me on the earth & its sneakers & feeling like the earth’s furniture but that can’t be true or like the coke & the Times it’s true for a little while.

The debut US poetry collection from social media star Elvira Sastre, exploring the sharp, slippery moments that turn a beloved relationship into something self-destructive.

Title: New Hampshire

Author: Robert Frost

Narrator: John Lescault

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 21 minutes

Release date: April 30, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Robert Frost (1874–1963) was the most celebrated poet in America for most of the twentieth century. Although chiefly associated with the life and landscapes of New England, his work embodies penetrating and often dark explorations of universal themes. New Hampshire features Frost’s meditations on rural life, love, and death, delivered in the voice of a soft-spoken New Englander. Critics have long marveled at the poet’s gift for capturing the speech of the region’s natives and his realistic evocations of the area’s landscapes. This compilation first published in 1923 earned Frost the first of his four Pulitzer Prizes, and includes several of his best-known poems: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” and “Fire and Ice” as well as verse based on such traditional songs as “I Will Sing You One-O.”
