The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream

By John Keats

Read by Denis Daly

The Fall of Hyperion is an unfinished visionary epic, which was begun in 1819 as a revision of Keat’s earlier poem Hyperion. Framed as a dream-vision, it follows a poet-narrator who wanders into a mysterious garden, eats and drinks from a sacred feast, and finds himself transported to a decaying temple. There he meets the veiled goddess Moneta, priestess of fallen memory, who forces him to confront his own worth as a poet before revealing to him - through visions within the dream - the story of the Titans' overthrow by the Olympian gods.

Where the original Hyperion focused on the fallen Titans themselves, the reworked version wraps their tragedy inside a deeper meditation on suffering, mortality, and what it means to be a poet rather than a mere dreamer. Written in the shadow of Keats's declining health, it's often read as his most searching statement on the relationship between imagination and human pain. Although it remained unfinished, it is among the most powerful fragments in classic English poetry.

Twenty-One

by Mulford Doughty

This slim volume of poetry was first published around 1917. The poet is very obscure, and little is known about his life.

The twenty-one poems are written in a late-Romantic / early-Modern American idiom, and reflect themes characteristically treated by poets of the Edwardian era: war, youth, mortality, and emotional dislocation.

Doughty appears to belong to a transitional literary generation. He is no radical modernist, like Pound or Eliot but is not enamoured of the comfortable sentimentality of late Victorian verse.

This collection was first published by Librivox on 4th August, 2026.

Come Out of the Kitchen!

by Alice Duer Miller

Read by Margaret Espaillat

Alice Duer Miller's 1916 romantic comedy Come Out of the Kitchen! follows wealthy Northern businessman Burton Crane, who rents a grand, run-down Southern mansion for six weeks on the unusual condition that he retain the four eccentric servants already living on the property. As Crane hosts a group of high-society guests, the household dynamics quickly turn chaotic due to the staff's unusually refined, witty, and headstrong behaviour - especially that of the charming, surprisingly talented young cook, Jane-Ellen. As romantic attraction blossoms between Crane and Jane-Ellen despite social barriers, a series of humorous misunderstandings ultimately reveals that the "servants" are actually the impoverished aristocratic siblings who own the estate, resulting in a lighthearted satire on class, privilege, and love.
