Sinossi

I no longer know how I found you, whether it was during a walk by the sea, or if it was you who wandered the plains seeking the cool shade of my body. I know that a lifetime has passed, that we have been almost everything, although we continue to be almost nothing. Friendship, love, and longing are part of our essence. I have already held your hand, listened to you attentively, idolized you as a goddess, and even dared to kiss your lips. 


We are like the sea, I the wave that comes and goes, you the mermaid who hides in the deep refuge of solitude and appears on the bow of my ship from time to time. 


This silence that happens after the thunder is pure meditation, an act of contrition that leads us to balance the euphoria with the calm of being just people, as ordinary as everyone else, almost as complex as many. 


And here I am, after so many years, once again a tsunami, rising above the broken waves of the sea to bring you to the surface and to kiss your lips once more.

Consider Your Ways

Kimani Lauren

South Sanford only has one point of entry and one point of exit... 
Trapped inside of South Sanford are poverty, corruption, media lies, and a human trafficking ring the city who live there are blamed for yet victims of. Nevertheless, ebony bombshell Shatima Thomas feels she's been led there by her spiritual guides to unite with the family she was separated from after her father was murdered by the police.

The Weary Blues

Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes is a widely celebrated African American writer and important leader of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance. Deeply inspired by the great poet Walt Whitman, Hughes’ own writings gave voice to the Black community in the American literary canon. His assertion that “I, too, sing America” echoes through history and continues to be a battle cry in the fight for fair representation and equality. 
 
The Weary Blues, published in 1926, was Hughes’ first collection of poetry. He was only twenty-four years old at the time, but his insights carry wisdom beyond his years. Hughes made his literary debut at the height of Jim Crow when racial segregation ran deep through American society. Through the pain and hardship, there is also an unshakable pride in his African American heritage. 
 
Enjoy the rich notes and rhythms of Hughes’ distinct “jazz poetry” style, brought to life in this extraordinary InAudio production.

The Universe in Verse - 15...

Maria Popova

In this audiobook Maria Popova, creator of The Marginalian, presents a celebration of the human search for truth and beauty through the lenses of science and poetry. Poetry and science, as Popova writes in her introduction, "are instruments for knowing the world more intimately and loving it more deeply." In 15 short essays on subjects ranging from the mystery of dark matter and the infinity of pi to the resilience of trees and the intelligence of octopuses, Popova tells the stories of scientific searching and discovery. These stories are interwoven with details from the very real and human lives of scientists—many of them women, many underrecognized—and poets inspired by the same questions and the beauty they reveal. Each essay is paired with a poem reflecting its subject by poets ranging from Emily Dickinson, W. H. Auden, and Edna St. Vincent Millay to Maya Angelou, Diane Ackerman, and Tracy K. Smith. Together, they wake us to a "reality aglow with wonder."

Power of Poetry The - Poems for...

William Wordsworth

Life is frenetic.  Everything is running faster which usually means we are running later.  Everything should have been done 5 minutes ago or better still yesterday.  We are slowly falling behind, overwhelmed by busy lives in an ever-exacting world. 
 
In these more modern times, time is everything.  There’s never enough of it. 
 
So how do we slow down and become more comfortable with our lives, how do we find a balance?  Life shouldn’t just be one task after another.  Yes, a good life has to be worked for, found time for, but life should also be enjoyed and savoured. 
 
One answer may lie in the past.  Classic poets down the decades and centuries have wisely observed that there are many things, both great and small, that bring a sense of stillness, an aura of calm, a chance to re-engage with our feelings and emotions purely by taking time for moments that matter.   
 
With verse and poems from the likes of William Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, Mirabai, Tagore, Rumi and the calming balms of many others that soothe the soul and bring the inner peace we all need.
