  The Prophet — Audiobook 
  "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." 
  First published in 1923, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is one of the most beloved and enduring works of world literature — translated into over 100 languages and never once out of print. 
  Consisting of 26 prose poetry fables, the book speaks through the voice of a prophet on the deepest themes of human life — love, children, freedom, sorrow, beauty, and death. 
  "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." "What is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?" "Self is a sea boundless and measureless." 
  A Production Crafted with Care 
  This audiobook breathes life into Gibran's timeless words through a carefully crafted cast of voices. Almustafa and the narrator speak in American English, while the citizens of Orphalese — the ploughman, the merchant, the judge, the priestess, the scholar, the astronomer, and more — are voiced in British English, giving each figure their own distinct warmth and character. Every line has been reviewed by human editors to ensure a smooth listening experience. 
  Tip for the impatient listener: Chapters 1 and 28 are slightly longer than the rest — feel free to begin at Chapter 2 and circle back.

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
   
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
   
  The American poetess may have lived in the constancy and overbearing shadows of their male colleagues but their verse is the equal of each and every man, whoever they may be.  Their words do not surrender to pity or lack of self-esteem, but are glowing tributes to the talents of humanity despite the shadows that often clouded their lives.

  Most poets recollect or describe the present. In her third book of poems, Laura Quinney (whose “superbly spare meditations” Harold Bloom compared to the poetry of Paul Celan and Emily Dickinson) does something more uncanny: recalling what it once was like to anticipate the future, she remembers what she thought the past would look like from the present moment, and in so doing deepens the meaning of memory. This is her third book of poetry.

  My Mind My Hand Writes 
  By R. Omar Casimire 
  My Mind My Hand Writes is more than a poetry collection—it is a living archive of consciousness, memory, ancestry, spirit, travel, loss, resilience, and revelation. Spanning more than four decades of writing, this body of work gathers over 140 poems composed from the late 1990s through 2025, forming a deeply personal yet historically resonant literary journey. Each poem stands alone as a moment of reflection, but together they form a unified testament to a life lived with awareness—of history, of family, of faith, of injustice, and of love. 
  At its core, My Mind My Hand Writes is a declaration of creative immediacy. The title itself speaks to the unfiltered connection between thought and expression—the sacred instant when consciousness flows directly into language. There is little separation between reflection and inscription. The mind conceives; the hand records. What results is poetry that feels intimate, spontaneous, and honest

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Last Call is a raw, unfiltered memoir about trauma, survival, and the brutal road to recovery. Dylan Shields, a decorated medic, firefighter, and safety director, spent his life saving others on battlefields, in burning buildings, and in disaster zones. But when the adrenaline faded and the silence set in, he found himself face-to-face with a new enemy: PTSD, addiction, and the demons that followed him home. 
  Told with brutal honesty and deep humanity, Last Call takes readers inside the hidden battles of first responders and veterans—the unspoken grief, the guilt that lingers, and the coping mechanisms that nearly cost everything. From war-torn deployments to a vodka-soaked garage, this is the story of how one man fell apart, fought to get back up, and discovered that the mission was never just about saving others—it was about learning to save himself. 
  For anyone who’s ever struggled in silence, this book is a lifeline. For everyone else, it’s a wake-up call.

  The Iliad and The Odyssey

  Homer

  The legendary poet of Greek antiquity Homer is surrounded by almost as much myth as the characters of his two epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. As two of the oldest extant works of Western literature they formed the foundations for Ancient Greek culture, and have been read, translated, adapted and enjoyed across the globe since the 8th century BC. 
   
  The Iliad takes place in the final weeks of the long-fought Trojan War. As the Greeks fight to reclaim the beautiful Helen, King Agamemnon seizes Briseis, the concubine of Achilles. In disgust the legendary warrior abandons the conflict, taking his men with him. 
   
  The Odyssey joins the heroic Odysseus on his epic and tumultuous journey home following the fall of Troy. Having angered the sea-god Poseidon he and his men are beset by obstacles including a man-eating Cyclops, deadly storms, and a witch who transforms her enemies into pigs. 
   
  The translations presented in this wonderful collection are easily accessible prose editions translated by highly-esteemed authors. The Iliad is translated by the late-Victorian novelist Samuel Butler, and The Odyssey by adventurer Lawrence of Arabia, T.E. Lawrence.
