  On its original publication in 2000, Pitch  Glint was widely hailed as a landmark in German poetry. Rooted in Seiler's childhood home, a village brutally undermined by Soviet uranium extraction, these propulsive poems are highly personal, cadenced, cryptic and earthy, evoking European history with undeniable force.

  Fifty Shades of London - 50 of...

  This vast and teeming metropolis that many of us call home sits astride a small river on a small island anchored off the north-west shores of Europe.   Yet its very name ‘London’ is famed, admired and known worldwide.  Its growth from hamlet, town, fortification, city and centre of Empire is one of rich reward.  Within its ever-changing borders that are forever moving outwards are gems of architecture across cultures, times and influences that exist in very few other places.  Its diaspora of peoples and cultures overlap, thrive, compete and influence this leviathan of a world city.

  The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

  The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam    Translated by Edward FitzGerald    Narrated by Denis Daly    Omar Khayyam (1048 - 1131) was a true polymath.  A distinguished mathematician,  astronomer and philosopher,  he is best known today for his Rubaiyat, a collection of rubai, or rhyming quatrains,  of which he is estimated to have composed at least 500.  Together with the work of Hafiz and Rumi, Khayyam's poetry represents the high point of classical Persian literature.    Edward Fitzgerald was neither the first nor the most scholarly of the translators of the quatrains of Omar Khayyam, but due to his remarkable abilities as a poet, his versions have been accepted as classic literature in their own right.    During his lifetime Fitzgerald published four editions of his translation - in 1859, 1868, 1872 and 1879 - and a fifth edition was released posthumously in 1889.    In this recording are presented readings of all five editions as well as biographical material about Fitzgerald and Omar Khayyam and a laudatory poem by Andrew Lang,  which were published as part of the Fourth Edition.
