  These three tales from The Canterbury Tales are read in the original Middle English by Richard Bebb under the direction of Britain’s foremost Chaucer scholar, Derek Brewer. This was Bebb’s last recording – he died shortly after finishing it – but though ill at the time, his strong professional ethic ensured that it lacks none of the brightness and accuracy that he brought to his two other Chaucer recordings on Naxos AudioBooks: The General Prologue and The Knyghtes Tale.

  Human Resources - Poems

  Ryann Stevenson

  Winner of the Max Ritvo Poetry
  Prize, Ryann Stevenson’s Human Resources is a sobering and
  perceptive portrait of technology’s impact on connection and power.Human Resources follows
  a woman working in the male-dominated world of AI, designing women that don’t
  exist. In discerning verse, she workshops the
  facial characteristics of a floating head named “Nia,” who her boss calls “his
  type”; she loses hours researching “June,” an oddly sexualized artificially
  intelligent oven; and she spends a whole day “trying to break” a female
  self-improvement bot. The
  speaker of Stevenson’s poems grapples with uneasiness and isolation, even as
  she endeavors to solve for these problems in her daily work. She attempts to
  harness control by eating clean, doing yoga, and searching for age-defying skin
  care, though she dreams “about the department / that women get reassigned to
  after they file / harassment complaints.” With sharp, lyrical intelligence, she
  imagines alternative realities where women exist not for the whims of men but
  for their own—where they become literal skyscrapers, towering over a world that
  never appreciated them.Chilling and lucid, Human
  Resources challenges the minds programming our present and future to consider
  what serves the collective good. Something perhaps more thoughtful and human,
  Stevenson writes: “I want to say better.”

  In Conversation

  Since childhood, Janice Whyne has been a words person, writing prose-filled Christmas cards, songs and poetry. She sees poetry as a means of self-expression. A conduit and a safe space for our emotions, feelings and lived experiences. She's a Londoner by birthplace, a Jamaican by birthright, and also regards Indonesia as another homeland. 
  In Conversation is a personal milestone in Janice's journey of rediscovering her creative self. Along the way, she's ventured into the world of open mics, spoken word and poetry slams; winning 1st runner-up at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival Poetry Slam 2019 & 2022. 
  The poems in In Conversation began their lives with a word(s) exchanged in conversation or that captured her attention in something she was listening to or viewing. She regards them as articulations of the said and unsaid; with the poetic voice in them not always hers, but rather an expression of the voice(s) of others. 
  Readers have described it as unapologetic, raw, poignant, vulnerable and brave: a journey. 
  "It speaks of someone that feels and loves much for this world, the wonderful imperfect people in it, and the injustices that go on."  
  Themes of life, loss, love, protest and more are awaiting all who choose to engage in conversation with these poems. 
  Her poem 'Sitting with Amazing' is part of The Poetry Archive Now Worldview 2021 Winners collection. Other poems have been featured in ‘Coffee & Contemplation: a taste of empowerment’ (2020), Coffee People Zine, Issue 10 (2020), All My Relations, Volume 5, Talbot-Heindl (2023), ‘Her locks unveiled: poems from the Black in White poetry competition’ (2023) as well as in other online and printed mediums.
