Summary

Fernando Pessoa's '35 Sonnets' is a collection of exquisite poems that exemplify his mastery of the sonnet form. As one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language, Pessoa's sonnets explore themes of love, loss, and the human condition with unparalleled depth and beauty. Here's an excerpt from the first sonnet: "Whether we write or speak or do but look / We are ever unapparent. What we are / Cannot be transfused into word or book / Our soul from us is infinitely far."

    Sara Teasdale - the winner of one of the earliest Pulitzer Prizes for poetry, winner of the Poetry Society of America prize, and other honors - believed passionately in the power and beauty of love, yet in her own life, love was not enough; she died by her own hand after a long illness. The man she may have loved more than any other, the poet Vachel Lindsay, killed himself two years earlier.Her poetry ranges a full gamut from utter joy to deep loneliness. She expresses herself with utter simplicity: Slowly over the earthThe wings of night are falling My heart like the bird in the tree Is calling... calling... calling.... She can be wonderfully playful, telling a thrush to go call her lover: When he harkens what you say Bid him, lest he miss me Leave his work or leave his play And kiss me, kiss me, kiss me! Her soul valued beauty and love above all else: Oh, let me love with all my strengthCareless if  I am loved again.Like many of America's women poets, she is rather on the back shelf these days, but she deserves better. Enjoy this reading of her poetry! A Freshwater Seas production.

    A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. 
He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. This edition of "Macbeth" is an adaptation of Shakespeare's eponymous tragedy, narrated in plain modern English, capturing the very essence and key elements of the original Shakespeare's work.

    For Hala Alyan, 29 is a year of transformation and upheaval, a year in which the past—memories of family members, old friends and past lovers, the heat of another land, another language, a different faith—winds itself around the present. Hala's ever-shifting, subversive verse sifts together and through different forms of forced displacement and the tolls they take on mind and body. Poems leap from war-torn cities in the Middle East, to an Oklahoma Olive Garden, a Brooklyn brownstone; from alcoholism to recovery; from a single woman to a wife. This collection summons breathtaking chaos, one that seeps into the bones of these odes, the shape of these elegies. 
A vivid catalog of heartache, loneliness, love, and joy, The Twenty-Ninth Year is an education in looking for home and self in the space between disparate identities.
