Title: A Year of Last Things: Poems Author: Michael Ondaatje Narrator: Michael Ondaatje Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 10 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: From one of the most influential writers of his generation, a gorgeously surprising poetry collection about memory, history, and the act of looking back Following several of his internationally acclaimed novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje’s long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes witty, sometimes moving, and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and the abandoned landscapes we hold on to to rediscover the influence of every border crossed. Moving from a Sri Lankan boarding school to Molière’s chair during his last stage performance, to Bulgarian churches and their icons, to the California coast and his beloved Canadian rivers, Michael Ondaatje casts a brilliant eye that merges memory with the present, in the way memory as the distant shores of art and lost friends continue to influence everything that surrounds him. From his poem 'His chair, a narrow bed, a motel room, the fox':      At the Hacienda Motel in Los Angeles Sam Cooke was shot dead.      ‘See that shadow on the wall . . .’ All those motels and hotels      in literature and song, where X wrote this,      where Y got drunk, where Z overdosed.      The one Hank Williams was driven past, dead already in his car.      The Slavianski Bazaar Hotel in 'The Lady with a Dog,'      where Dmitri imagines their dark but hopeful future.      The Hôtel de ville de Courtrai, where Verlaine shot Rimbaud.      The Casa Verdi in Milan, where retired opera singers were welcomed      along with various heteronyms of Fernando Pessoa in their afterlife.

Title: [German] - Briefe an einen jungen Dichter Author: Rainer Maria Rilke Narrator: Angela Vossköhler Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 17 minutes Release date: March 4, 2024 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Briefe an einen jungen Dichter ist eine Sammlung von Briefen Rainer Maria Rilkes, die 1929 im Insel Verlag als Nummer 406 der Insel-Bücherei erschien.  Die Briefe an einen jungen Dichter wurden aus der Veröffentlichung der übrigen Briefe ausgegliedert und diesen vorangestellt, weil sich die Herausgeberinnen erhofften, auf diesem Wege mehr Aufmerksamkeit für Rilkes moderne Haltung zur Orientierung im Leben zu erlangen, während sowohl der Kommunismus als auch der Nationalsozialismus an Boden gewannen. Die Texte grenzen sich von politischen Ideologien ebenso ab wie von der Religion. Damit sollten insbesondere junge Menschen angesprochen werden. Die Briefe an einen jungen Dichter wurden tatsächlich zu dem meistgelesenen Buch Rilkes.

In WHAT, the original 'People's Poet' comes storming out of the gate with an uproarious new collection, reminding us why he is one of Britain's most beloved writers and performers.

According to Timothy, “These poems reflect my own experience of losing my eyesight later in life. I am not attempting to speak for other people who are blind and have different life experiences. Hopefully, both the blind and the sighted will find some measure of commonality in my poems.”

Title: [Spanish] - Votos en contra Author: Rayden Narrator: Ana Valenciano, Rayden Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 7 minutes Release date: January 18, 2024 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: ¿ES MEJOR UNA MENTIRA ÚTIL QUE UNA VERDAD DOLOROSA? Descúbrelo en la nueva novela de Rayden, el escritor tras las canciones. Hay verdades que pueden esperar Lea trabaja como comercial en una clínica de fertilidad, pero no quiere ser madre. Lea está intentando superar su ruptura con Joel que sí quiere tener un hijo. Lea recibe una orden de desalojo del piso que habita y animada por su amigo Oliver y su padre decide buscar para comprar. Desubicada, rota, decide buscar un nuevo hogar y lo encuentra en el Reino de Belmonte. En un piso en nuda propiedad en el que viven dos ancianos, Estrella e Inocencio. Y sin saber cómo -o sabiéndolo a pies juntillas- entra a formar parte de un plan por mantener la realidad de un mundo que no existe. Después del éxito de su primera novela El acercamiento de la mujer cactus y el hombre globo, David Martínez Álvarez, Rayden, regresa con su segunda novela. Una obra reivindicativa y bella que parte de la historia real de Cerro Belmonte, un barrio madrileño que se independizó de España en los 90 durante una semana, para explorar los límites entre la verdad y la mentira. Una novela que habla del edadismo, del concepto de patria, de la mujer que no quiere engendrar, pero también de la lucha por defender los ideales, incluso los más disparatados. Votos en contra es un libro que agita conciencias y pone el acento sobre temas sociales que importan contado desde el universo particular y único de uno de los trovadores urbanos por excelencia.

Title: Museum of My Soul: Redux Author: Dornel Phillips Aka D-Nice Keoma Narrator: Dornel Phillips Aka D-Nice Keoma Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 6 minutes Release date: November 13, 2023 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Content Notice: This title may contain mature themes and adult content. Redux has 30 more poems, reshaping the narrative created in the first book. This version tells a longer and more heartfelt story. Museum of The Soul is a collection of poems that tell a love story. These poems cover the real dynamics of romantic relationships, seen through my eyes. The title The Time IT Took originates from the time it took to put together a body such as this. The title also loosely represents my romantic relationship history. Museum of My Soul in that sense is a collection of artifacts (poems) from different periods of my life and relationships. The book still obliges to three exhibits set forth in the first book: Exhibit A: Falling, Exhibit B: Being broken, and Exhibit C: Ending

Title: [German] - Mischmasch und Gedankensalat und zum Nachtisch: WORTE-TORTE Author: Aliasgünther Narrator: Mirko Huber Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 7 minutes Release date: November 11, 2023 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Nein, neue Kochrezepte wirst Du hier drinn nicht finden. Und nein, es geht nicht mal wirklich ums Essen (äh, doch ... also manchmal schon). Aber warum dann diese missverständliche Wortwahl im Buchtitel? Womit könnte man denn dieses Buch am besten vergleichen? Hmm ... vielleicht mit einem riesigen Bufett, aus Worten, Sätzen und Gedanken? Ja, ich denke, das trifft es schon ganz gut. Jeder findet etwas, was ihm 'schmeckt'. Vielleicht etwas humorvoll-Süßes (also ich mag ja süß am liebsten) oder etwas nachdenklich-Bitteres, in wohlbedachten Reimen angerichtet oder in freier Sprache verfasst, etwas Leichtes für den kleinen Appetit zwischendurch oder auch schwerere Kost, an der man länger zu knabbern hat. Also doch Essen? Nun ja ... der Geist braucht schließlich auch Nahrung. Ich frage mich: Was wirst Du finden und mögen?

Title: An Open Book Author: Orson Scott Card Narrator: Orson Scott Card Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 8 minutes Release date: October 31, 2023 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: The first collection of poems by one of the world’s best-loved writers. Orson Scott Card, the author of Ender’s Game, Enchantment, and the Alvin Maker series, did not originally plan to write fiction. He spent his journeyman years as a playwright. Before that, however, it was poetry that engaged his pen. Never content to write just one thing, Card has continued writing poetry along with his more well-known work in other forms. He has submitted little of it for publication, because there are no journals that seem to welcome the kind of poetry he values. An Open Book, Card’s first published collection, is selected from thirty-five years of poems. The title reflects his attitude that this book and all the poems in it remain works in progress. It also reflects Card’s commitment to clarity, especially in poetry. As he says in his afterword: “To be clear and yet also say something worth saying is what I believe poets should strive for. “The first reading should reward the reader. If later readings reveal new insights, so much the better; but if the first reading did not achieve Dryden’s recipe of sweetness and light, why should a reader return for a second pass?” Being an open book, this audiobook edition also features poems not included in the original print edition.

Title: Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions and Death's Duel Author: John Donne Narrator: Jonathan Booth Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 14, 2020 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions is a prose work published in 1624. It consists of a series of meditations, prayers and reflections that Donne wrote while he was recovering from a serious illness. It is divided into 23 sections, each representing a different meditation on various aspects of life, death and spirituality. Donne explores themes such as the fragility and uncertainty of life, the interconnectedness of humanity, and the presence of God in times of suffering. Devotions is considered significant in both religious and literary spheres. It showcases Donne's unique blend of intellectual inquiry, spiritual introspection and poetic expression. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its insights into human existence and its exploration of the human condition. Death's Duel, published after Donne's death in 1631, is one of his most profound works. It considers the various ways in which death confronts and challenges humanity, drawing on personal experiences, historical events and biblical references to illustrate the universal nature of death and its ultimate victory over all individuals.

Title: Troilus and Cressida Author: Geoffrey Chaucer Narrator: Jonathan Keeble Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 43 minutes Release date: December 7, 2018 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: Considered one of Chaucer's finest poems, second only to The Canterbury Tales in richness and depth, Troilus and Cressida is a tragic love story set against the background of the siege of Troy by the Greeks. Written in the 1380s, it presents Troilus, son of Priam and younger brother of Hector, as a Trojan warrior of renown who sees, and falls deeply in love with, the beautiful Cressida. Cressida is the daughter of Calchas, a Trojan priest and seer who, having divined the eventual fall of Troy, has deserted to Agamemnon's camp, leaving his daughter in the besieged city. With the help of Pander, friend to Troilus and uncle to Cressida, the young couple meet and merge - but with unhappy consequences. Chaucer's long poem is cast in seven-line rhymed stanzas and is eased out of Middle English to be presented here in a lively modern verse translation by George Philip Krapp, who has retained not only the structure but its spirit. Emotions run high, the love is intense, the story unfolds with a dramatic urgency that draws the listener ever onwards; yet Chaucer is Chaucer, and there are times when a deft line, a light insinuation, suggests the smile, the benevolence and the immediacy of the author of The Canterbury Tales. Troilus and Cressida, though often overshadowed by the Tales and time (and even Shakespeare, who took up the story) is a monument in its own right in the canon of English literature. Once listened to it will never be forgotten.
