Title: La Vita Nuova

Author: Dante

Narrator: Jonathan Keeble

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 2 hours 23 minutes

Release date: February 5, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Written in alternating prose and poetry, La Vita Nuova (The New Life) is a profound reflection on the nature of love, devoted to Dante's muse Beatrice. Following Beatrice's death in 1290, Dante became obsessed with the young Florentine woman, whom he only ever knew from a distance. He believed his love for her was a form of divine love, and saw her as an image of salvation itself - a theme that is later explored in his masterpiece The Divine Comedy, where she guides him through heaven. La Vita Nuova gives a fascinating glimpse into the poet's innermost feelings - his joy, his guilt and his grief - and remains one of the greatest works of Christian autobiography. **Contact Customer Service for Additional Content**

Title: The Poetry Of William Cowper

Author: William Cowper

Narrator: Jake Urry, Gideon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 0 hours 58 minutes

Release date: January 10, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

William Cowper was born 26th November 1731 in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. Traumatically he and his brother, John, were the only survivors, out of seven, to survive infancy. His mother died when he was six.His education, after several temporary schools, was stabilised at Westminster school. Here he established several life-long friendships and a dedication to Latin. Upon leaving he was articled to a solicitor in London and spent almost a decade training in Law. In 1763 he was offered a Clerkship of Journals in the House of Lords. With the examinations approaching Cowper had a mental breakdown. He tried to commit suicide three times and a period of depression and insanity seemed to settle on him. The end of this unhappy period saw him find refuge in evangelical Christianity, becoming the inspiration behind his much-loved hymns.This led to a collaboration with John Newton in writing 'Olney Hymns'.However dark forces were about to overwhelm Cowper. In 1773, he experienced a devastating attack of insanity, believing that he was eternally condemned to hell, and that God was instructing him to make a sacrifice of his own life. With great care and devotion his friend, Mary Unwin, nursed him back to health.In 1781 Cowper had the good fortune to meet a widow, Lady Austen, who inspired a new bout of poetry writing including what some have considered his most substantial work, 'The Task'.In 1786 he began his translations from the Greek into blank verse of Homer's 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey'. These translations, published in 1791, were the most significant since those of Alexander Pope earlier in the century.Mary Unwin died in 1796, plunging Cowper into a gloom from which he never fully recovered though he did continue to write.William Cowper was seized with dropsy and died on 25th April 1800.

Publisher's Summary:

The night begins its surrender to the first gleamings of the day.The day falls into the inky embrace of night.Within these two periods Nature interplays light and dark creating magical glancing rays and soft somnolent blankets of ever-changing coloured light.Dawn, sunrise, Dusk, twilight, sunset. We are held in captive awe as the fruit of the sun waxes and wanes....wanes and waxes.Our classic poets, with their imagination and word-play, capture these times in wondrous verse.

Title: The Poetry Of Israel Zangwill

Author: Israel Zangwill

Narrator: Jake Urry, Gideon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 1 minute

Release date: January 10, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Israel Zangwill was born in London on 21st January 1864, to a family of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire.Zangwill was initially educated in Plymouth and Bristol. At age 9 he was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London. Zangwill excelled here. He began to teach part-time at the school and eventually full time. Whilst teaching he also studied with the University of London and by 1884 had earned his BA with triple honours in philosophy, history, and the sciences.His writing earned him the sobriquet 'the Dickens of the Ghetto' primarily based on his much-lauded novel 'Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People' in 1892 and its glimpse of the poverty-stricken life in London's Jewish quarter.As a writer he was keen to reflect on his political and social outlooks. His simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. His mystery work, 'The Big Bow Mystery' (1892) was the first locked room mystery novel.Zangwill was also involved with narrowly focused Jewish issues as an assimilationist, an early Zionist, and later a territorialist. In the early 1890s he joined the Lovers of Zion movement in England. In 1897 he joined Theodor Herzl (considered the father of modern political Zionism) in founding the World Zionist Organization.Zangwill quit the established philosophy of Zionism when his plan for a homeland in Uganda was rejected and founded his own organisation; the Jewish Territorialist Organization. Its stated goal was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever territory in the world could be found for them. Amongst the challenges in his life he found time to write poetry. He had translated a medieval Jewish poet in 1903 and his volume 'Blind Children' in 1908 was well received.'The Melting Pot' in 1909 made Zangwill's name as an admired playwright. When the play opened in Washington D.C., former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play."Israel Zangwill died on 1st August 1926 in Midhurst, West Sussex.

Title: The Poetry Of Ford Madox Ford

Author: Ford Maddox Ford

Narrator: Jake Urry, Gideon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 3 minutes

Release date: January 10, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Hermann Hueffer on 17th December 1873 in Wimbledon, London, England.Today he is best known for one book, 'The Good Soldier', which is regularly held to be one of the 100 greatest novels of all time. But, rather unfairly, the breadth of his career has been overshadowed. He wrote novels as well as essays, poetry, memoirs and literary criticism. Today he is well-regarded but known only for a few works rather than the grand arc of his career.Ford collaborated with Joseph Conrad on three novels but would later complain that, as with all his collaborators, and those he so readily championed, his contribution was overshadowed by theirs.He founded The English Review and The Transatlantic Review which were instrumental in publishing and promoting the works of so many authors and movements.During WWI he initially worked on propaganda books before enlisting. Ford was invalided back to Britain in 1917 but remained in the army giving lectures until the War's end. After a spell recuperating in the Sussex countryside he lived mostly in France during the 1920s.He published the series of four novels known as Parade's End, between 1924 and 1928. These were particularly well-received in America, where Ford spent much of his time from the later 1920s to his death in 1939.His last years were spent teaching at Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan.His poetry is an excellent example of his talents. His evocation of the horrors of War are outstanding examples of the time and have become greatly admired.Ford Madox Ford died on 26th June 1939 at Deauville, France at the age of 65.

Title: The Poetry of Adelaide Anne Proctor

Author: Adelaide Anne Proctor

Narrator: Jake Urry, Gideon Wagner, Ghizela Rowe

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 12 minutes

Release date: January 10, 2019

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

Adelaide Anne Procter was born on 30th October, 1825 at 25 Bedford Square in the Bloomsbury district of London. Her literary career began whilst still a teenager. Many of her poems were published by the great Charles Dickens in his periodicals Household Words and All the Year Round before being later published in book form.A voracious reader, Procter was largely self-taught, though she did study at Queen's College in Harley Street in 1850. Her interest in poetry grew from an early age. By 1853 she was submitting pieces to Dickens's Household Words under her pseudonym Mary Berwick, electing that this way her work would be judged for its own worth rather than on the friendship between her father and Dickens. Dickens didn't learn of her true identity for over a year. 'Minstering Angels' was to be the beginning of a long and mutually beneficial relationship of publishing in Dickens' journals that would eventually reach 73 poems in House words together with a further 7 poems in All the Year Round, most of which were collected and later published into her first two volumes of poetry, both entitled Legends and Lyrics. Proctor was also the editor of the journal Victoria Regia, which became the showpiece of the Victoria Press, a venture hoping to promote the employment of women in all manner of trades and professions. Procter's health failed in 1862. Dickens and others suggested that this illness was due to her extensive and exhausting schedule of charity work. An attempt to improve her health by taking a cure at Malvern failed. Adelaide Anne Proctor died on 3rd February 1864 of tuberculosis. She had been bed-ridden for almost a year. Procter was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.

Publisher's Summary:

El libro de poesía que, autoeditado por su autora, escaló las listas de Amazon y ha conquistado a miles de lectores. « Vive, joder, vive. Y si algo no te gusta, cámbialo. Y si algo te da miedo, supéralo. Y si algo te enamora, agárralo.» Primero de poeta son todos los papeles que rellené y quemé, todos los pasos que no di, las vidas que perdí. Todas las declaraciones de amor que callé, los sueños que rompí, los miedos de los que aprendí. Es mi impaciencia, mis ganas de sentir y el pánico. Es descubrir que mis miedos siempre ganan la partida. Es empujarte a que te vayas por si te acercas demasiado. Es querer que te acerques demasiado. Primero de poeta son todos mis errores. Y mi cura. La mejor poesía contemporánea en formato audiolibro. La opinión de los lectores: «Una confesión desnuda y sincera de la autora, de esas que te hacen partícipe de principio a fin porque sabes que son auténticas, porque están escritas con el lenguaje que compartimos todos, el del dolor y el de la alegría, el del miedo y el del amor, en definitiva, el lenguaje del alma. Recomiendo tenerlo para ojearlo con cuidado de vez en cuando, porque al menos a mí, me hace sentir cosas de las cuales no quiero abusar y 'gastarlas' demasiado rápido.» Chris «Para los amantes del buen gusto, de lo bonito, de lo que toca el alma. Por encontrarme reflejada en muchos de esos renglones, hacerme sonreír y también hacerme reflexionar. Por todo eso y por mucho más, es un libro para leer al menos una vez en la vida.» Inma «A cada poema te enamoras más de Patricia, porque te hace sentir y recordar emociones cotidianas que a veces podemos tener olvidadas. Recomendable 100%, para leer y releer.» Inma Naroi «Una poesía moderna, directa, de pensamientos ágiles y muy cercana, con partes que invitan a la reflexión.» Juan
