Publisher's Summary:

For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture. Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate.Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses.For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere. These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise.The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written. And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias. With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share.This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing. Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

Title: Forbidden Love - The Lesbian Poets - Volume 1

Author: Emily Dickenson, Sappho, Katherine Mansfield

Narrator: Ghizela Rowe, David Shaw Parker, Richard Mitchley

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 1 hour 55 minutes

Release date: August 1, 2018

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

In the last few decades secular society has become more tolerant of homosexuality. Now, in the West, we live in a time when to be gay is a matter of fact rather than a despised and criminal act. We celebrate sexual diversity but for much of the centuries past, religious interpretations and society's dogma have placed this 'forbidden love' into hell on earth; unable to be fully expressed or accepted. Poets went to unusual lengths at times to disguise their intentions. With camouflage and veil, their lines were accepted for what they said not for their intent. Indeed the word 'Lesbian' did not even gain acceptance in the OED until 1976.In this volume we gather together verse from Lesbian poets that is deeply personal and at times overwhelming. It is not just a search for physical love but a journey through the spiritual to completeness, to becoming whole.However we recognise that the label Lesbian might be anachronistic and so also include those who stand by their side, or who have a view in verse that helps us to revel in their love. For in the end that is all our journey is about. This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing. Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

Title: [Swedish] - En roterande spegel av musik

Author: Joakim Nordbrandt

Narrator: Martin Halland

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 3 hours 16 minutes

Release date: June 1, 2018

Genres: Poetry

Publisher's Summary:

I denna unika samling dikter och berättelser bjuder debutförfattaren Joakim Nordbrandt lyssnaren på en fängslande resa genom ljus och mörker, tid och rum, surrealism och existentialism. Skrivandet bör vara en kamp mot perfektionen och perfektionen en kamp mot skrivandet. När dessa två antagonister möts uppstår en kreativ balans som ebbar ut i skapande. Det är inte för än man ger upp alla föreställningar om perfektion som den ultimata dikten kan uppstå. En roterande spegel av musik är omöjlig att skapa och därför så lockande.
