Sinopsis

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnets from the Portuguese" is a profound collection of love sonnets that meticulously chronicles the passionate evolution of her relationship with fellow poet Robert Browning. Written in the Petrarchan form, these sonnets diverge from conventional Victorian norms, employing a deeply personal and intimate tone that reflects the poet's internal struggles and emotional depth. The collection stands as both a celebration of love and a contemplation of the self, intertwining themes of desire, vulnerability, and transcendence through its lyrical beauty and emotional authenticity. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) emerged as a prominent figure in Victorian literature, often marked by her tumultuous personal life and her intellectual rigor. The backdrop of her relatively reclusive existence, shaped by her health issues and oppressive familial constraints, fueled her quest for personal freedom and artistic expression. It was through her passionate love affair with Robert Browning that she found the voice to articulate her innermost sentiments, crafting sonnets that convey both the joy and tumult inherent in love. "Sonnets from the Portuguese" is a compelling invitation for readers to explore the intimate workings of love and identity. Its timeless themes engage and resonate, making it an essential read for anyone interested in poetry that transcends emotional boundaries. This work's exquisite language and heartfelt expression promise to inspire and touch the hearts of readers across generations.

    Winner of the inaugural Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, North American Stadiums is an assured debut collection about grace—the places we search for it, and the disjunction between what we seek and where we arrive. 
    “You were supposed to find God here / the signs said.” In these poems, hinterlands demand our close attention; overlooked places of industry become sites for pilgrimage; and history large and small—of a city, of a family, of a shirt—is unearthed. Here is a factory emptying for the day, a snowy road just past border patrol, a baseball game at dusk. Mile signs point us toward Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Salt Lake City, Chicago. And god is not the God expected, but the still moment amid movement: a field “lit like the heart / of the night,” black stars stitched to the yellow sweatshirts of men in a crowd. 
    A map “bleached / pale by time and weather,” North American Stadiums is a collection at once resolutely unsentimental yet deeply tender, illuminating the historical forces that shape the places we inhabit and how those places, in turn, shape us.

    Welcome to Romeo and Juliet. In this audiobook, we take a deeper look at one of William Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedies. While the story of Romeo and Juliet is widely known for its themes of love and loss, this exploration focuses on the nuanced layers of their relationship, the societal forces at play, and the personal choices that shape their tragic fate. By examining key moments in the play, we uncover how Shakespeare explores themes like family loyalty, the tension between love and hate, fate versus free will, and the consequences of impulsive actions. Join us as we uncover fresh insights into this timeless tale and reflect on its profound relevance even in today’s world.

    For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture.  Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. 
    Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. 
    For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.  These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. 
    The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written.  And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias.  With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. 
    This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

    "Lady Gazelle" is one of Maryam Hosseinyan's well-known works that primarily focuses on the life of a lonely and wounded woman. The story of this woman unfolds with the news of her pregnancy, which becomes a turning point that impacts her life. She escapes from the reality of being pregnant and facing the challenges it brings, fleeing instead into a world of dreams and thoughts. This escape from reality and taking refuge in another world becomes her last resort to cope with her problems and to endure life's challenges.
