Dear Santa, Twas the scariest holiday year, depression and mental anguish are real but P.T.S.D made it harder to deal, my mind and heart reminded of one particular image and cannot help the way I feel.

Allie Esiri’s anthology, A Poet for Every Day of the Year, is the perfect introduction to 366 of the world’s greatest ever verse writers. Perfect for listening and sharing with all the family, it is bursting at the seams with familiar favourites and exciting new discoveries. Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, Christina Rossetti and Emily Bronte sit alongside Roger McGough, Wendy Cope, Imtiaz Dharker, Leonard Cohen, Sylvia Plath and Ocean Vuong.

Bitter Lips, Sweet Heart is a unique collection of romantic poetry first assembled by a group of young male college students who got together to read poetry and drink tea every week, thinking themselves spurned romantics and talented poets. Most of the original selections have been forgotten, and the collection has been updated for this simple release with a sense of irony and sheepishness in mature adulthood. May its angst, irony, lust, and innocent affection amuse and entertain you today, just as it did the four nerdy boys who assembled it to communicate.

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis loved literature, especially poetry. "Once you can express yourself," she wrote, "you can tell the world what you want from it.... All the changes in the world, for good or evil, were first brought about by words." Now Caroline Kennedy shares her mother's favorite poems and the inspiration behind her strong belief in the power of literature.

Pose Prose and Poems: My Thoughts Exactly was the first compilation of poetry and prose by Janna Hill and was copyrighted in 1998. The verses reflect the hopes, dreams, hurt, and disappointments found in the human condition.

Whilst Europe endured the Dark Ages in the 6th & 7th Centuries, devotees of Shiva and Vishnu in Southern India were creating the Bhakti Movement. Some of these exponents, as in our volume, were bestowed with the title of saint but some had the additional title of sant, swami or goswami. Broadly speaking, Bhakti poetry, as in Hinduism itself, is divided into ‘Nirguna’, the idea that the divine is formless as exampled by Kabir and ‘Saguna’, which interprets the divine as having physical form as captured by Mirabai.

This is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of female American literature. It is a carefully crafted selection of 150 poems, all of them eight lines in length, which are presented face-to-face in pairs—one per author—and with matching themes. In this way, the listener can compare and enjoy the magic of these poets.

In a nationwide poll conducted by BBC Television's Bookworm to find the nation's favourite poem, Rudyard Kipling's "If" was voted number one. This compilation brings together over 40 poems from the poll, including the top 10, all stirringly read by John Nettles, Siobhàn Redmond, Greg Wise, and Emma Fielding.

Magnífica antología de una obra que apasiona por su sinceridad y por la embriaguez de vida que respira. Si existe un poeta del siglo XX en el que vida y obra se hermanan sin impostura, éste es Miguel Hernández. Su afición a la lectura, su gusto por los clásicos y la poesía transformaron su contacto con la naturaleza en una fuente inagotable de inspiración, que alimentó sus versos.

Joshua Bennett and Jesse McCarthy repeatedly found themselves struck by the number of exciting poets they came across in long-out-of-print collections and forgotten journals whose work has been neglected or entirely ignored, even by scholars of Black poetry. Minor Notes is an excavation initiative that recovers and curates archival materials from these understudied, though supremely gifted, African American poets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and aims to bridge scholarly interest with the growing general audience who reads, writes, and circulates poetry within that tradition.

Hay obras maestras, como el Quijote, que los autores empiezan sin plan preciso ni determinado: van haciendo de la necesidad virtud, rizando el rizo de la invención. Pero la Comedia pertenece a otra categoría: es el resultado de la deliberación y la perseverancia de Dante. Exiliado de Florencia y condenado a la hoguera, fue incluso contumaz, pues insistió en el imperdonable "error" de crear algo profundamente nuevo y personal.

De comum, estes dois ensaios têm o mesmo objeto: a arte. Em "Estética e eletricidade", o alvo do autor são os críticos das artes plásticas, cujo conhecimento de ciência acaba por turvar a adequada avaliação das obras. Já em "Flaubert", o autor francês é que está na mira da crítica dura – incomum – à sua obra. Teria de fato autor do célebre "Madame Bovary" desmerecido o prestígio que alcançou?

El amor a traves de los ojos de los poetas. Puesto que el amor es uno de los motores que mueve a la humanidad, no es de sorprender que los grandes poetas hayan dedicado una parte importante de sus creaciones a expresar esos sentimientos, desde el amor inocente hasta el erotico, pasando por todos los matices de la pasion y del canto a la persona amada.

Tres grandes poetas de América, Neruda, León de Greiff y Silva (leídos por ellos mismos) se reúnen en esta antología única, que permite apreciar matices incluso desconocidos de la obra de ellos. Este audiolibro se agrega a la serie de poemas leídos, con nombres atractivos e indispensables para los amantes de la poesía.

The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in China, and collects more than 500 years of poetry from the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. It comprehensively reflects the social conditions from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period. This album is in the first series of The Book of Songs, which recites and interprets this classic of Chinese studies.

The Fourth Step is a huge literary project recorded to the music of more than forty artists and fifty-one instrumental tracks spanning over five and a half hours. Prose, poetical prose and lyrics combine in an unusual way to tell a story of love that bridges mystical experience and human affection. The borders of love blur, stretch and expand, or contract and enclose, freeing us or enslaving us. They extend from boundless and selfless to personal and narrow, from bliss to sorrow, from joy to pain. They can make us powerful or powerless, limit us or make us limitless.

Poesía escrita por mujeres. Poesía reveladora de la sensibilidad que complementa la sensibilidad del varón. Veintiún escritoras de gran aliento que muestran una visión del mundo y también un dominio admirable de la versificación en muy variadas formas. Magia de la palabra y magia de la voz de Ma. Teresa Aviña.

Voces vibrantes en la celebración de la palabra y el deseo. Lo queer supone una respuesta amplia a los roles de género tradicionales del universo heteropatriarcal. Como la literatura se alimenta de la identidad personal, la escritura queer refleja la experiencia autobiográfica y el pensamiento crítico del autor queer, nuevas vías que abren fugas al patriarcado global.

Listen to the romatic poetry of Guillermo Valencia, Rubén Darío, and Julio Flores.
