Title: To the Realization of Perfect Helplessness Author: Robin Coste Lewis Narrator: Robin Coste Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 24 minutes Release date: October 1, 2024 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: A genre-bending exploration of poetry and human migration—another revelatory expedition from the National Book Award–winning poet who changed the way we see art, the museum, and the Black female figure. • Winner of the PEN/Voelcker Award for Poetry Twenty-five years ago, after her maternal grandmother’s death, Robin Coste Lewis discovered a stunning collection of photographs in an old suitcase under her bed, filled with everything from sepia tintypes to Technicolor Polaroids. Lewis’s family had survived one of the largest migrations in human history, when six million Americans fled the South, attempting to escape from white supremacy and white terrorism. But these photographs of daily twentieth-century Black life revealed a concealed, interior history. The poetry Lewis was inspired to create stands forth as an inspiring alternative to the usual ways we frame the old stories of “race” and “migration,” placing them within a much vaster span of time and history. In what she calls “an origin myth for the future,” Lewis reverses our expectations of poetry: “Black pages, black space, black time––the Big Black Bang.” From glamorous outings to graduations, birth announcements, baseball leagues, and back-porch delight, Lewis creates a lyrical documentary about Black intimacy. Instead of colonial nostalgia, she offers us “an exalted Black privacy.” What emerges is a dynamic reframing of what it means to be human and alive, with Blackness at its center. “I am trying / to make the gods / happy,” she writes. “I am trying to make the dead / clap and shout.”

How do we mourn a loved one, and how do we mourn strangers? The magnificent poems in Canopy catalogue and reckon with humanity and the natural world, mortality, rage, love, grief, and survival.

Title: [Spanish] - Fungifuturismo Author: Jimena Jurado Narrator: Mimi Bejarano Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 39 minutes Release date: January 17, 2022 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: En esta obra cohabitan organismos atravesados por el contagio. Una voz huésped los altera, los distancia de sí mismos, pero los une también. ¿Qué hay detrás del Fungifuturismo y cuál es su último eslabón por depredar? Un patógeno comienza a extenderse por México, en busca de distintas especies vivas que garanticen su existencia. Su depredación provoca en ellas quiebres inesperados, cambios de visión, delirios. A lo largo del poemario, y desde distintas perspectivas, podremos atestiguar la llegada del Fungifuturismo. Por medio de la intertextualidad y la apropiación, esta obra dividida en cinco partes integra un diálogo entre lenguaje científico, la voz propia de poetas de siglos pasados y la vox populi: refranes, canciones, juegos infantiles... Todas ellas devienen, poco a poco, en una voz colectiva y se contagian entre sí para formar una horda, una poética zombi. Este audiolibro está narrado en español neutro. - Jimena Jurado (1991, Cuernavaca) es una poeta mexicana. Ha participado en ensayos, antologías, revistas como «Tierra Adentro», «Revista Penumbria», «Hýbris Magazine» o «Revista Himen» o en proyectos culturales como Librosb4tipos. Su canal de YouTube, ThePoemTube, está dedicado a la literatura. Es autora del poemario «Confín de nadie», obra ganadora en 2018 del certamen de publicación de obra inédita del Fondo Editorial del Estado de Morelos.
