Later Poems

Sinossi

In "Later Poems," Alice Meynell showcases a refined blend of lyrical beauty and contemplative introspection that encapsulates the essence of her poetic evolution. Composed during a period marked by profound personal reflection and societal change, these poems resonate with themes of nature, faith, and the transient nature of existence. Meynell's distinctive literary style is characterized by her mastery of imagery and rhythm, conveying profound emotions through concise yet vivid language, all while reflecting the broader movement of late Victorian poetry that sought to merge art with deeper existential inquiry. Alice Meynell, a prominent figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was not only a poet but also an influential critic and editor who championed the works of her contemporaries. Her literary journey is deeply intertwined with her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated landscape, and her exploration of faith and spirituality profoundly influenced her work. Her keen observations on the world, paired with personal trials and societal shifts, led Meynell to seek a poetic form that could articulate the complexities of human experience, profoundly mirrored in "Later Poems." I highly recommend "Later Poems" to enthusiasts of lyrical poetry and those interested in the exploration of the human condition through the lens of nature and spirituality. Meynell's eloquent verse offers an enriching experience that invites readers to ponder their own existence, making this collection a poignant addition to any literary archive.

Touch the Earth - Poems on The Way

Drew Jackson

Gather it from memory.

Let it touch the earth.
In Touch the Earth, Drew Jackson continues the project he began in God Speaks Through Wombs, reflecting on the Gospel of Luke through poetry. Touch the Earth picks up in chapter nine and continues through the end of Luke's Gospel. Part protest poetry, part biblical commentary, Jackson presents the gospel story in all its liberative power. Here the gospel is the "fresh words / that speak of / things impossible."
From the feeding of the multitude ("The best hosts always provide / take home containers") to the resurrection of Jesus ("the belly of mother Earth / is, indeed, a womb . . . the humus of life is where we become fully human"), this collection helps us hear the hum of deliverance—against all hope—that's been in the gospel all along.

Shakespeare Monologues...

William Shakespeare

LibriVox readers present the fourth collection of monologues from Shakespeare’s plays. Containing 20 parts.William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 – April 23, 1616) remains widely to be considered the single greatest playwright of all time. He wrote in such a variety of genres - tragedy, comedy, romance, &c - that there is always at least one monologue in each of his plays. Some of these teach a lesson, some simply characterize Shakespeare at his best, some are funny, some sad, but all are very moving. Each monologue will touch everybody differently. Some people will be so moved by a particular monologue that they will want to record it. (summary by Shurtagal)
