Sinopse

Gabriele Rossetti: A Versified Autobiography is a compelling fusion of poetic form and personal narrative, offering readers an intimate glimpse into the life of the influential Italian poet and scholar. The work showcases Rossetti's mastery of metrical verse and his ability to conflate personal experiences with broader existential themes. Reflecting the Romantic literary tradition, this autobiographical account delves into the intricacies of identity, migration, and artistic creation, underscoring how his life experiences shaped his creative vision, particularly in the context of the 19th-century Italian diaspora. Gabriele Rossetti, a pivotal figure in the Romantic movement, was not only a poet but also a devoted art critic and Dante scholar. The son of a notable artist and the father of the illustrious Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood members, his multifaceted background deeply informed his literary pursuits. Rossetti's life in England, along with his national heritage, interwove influences from both cultures that reverberate throughout his autobiographical work, enriching its depth and perspective. This remarkable text is recommended for readers interested in 19th-century literature, the interplay of art and autobiography, and the complexities of cultural identity. Rossetti's poignant reflections will resonate with anyone who appreciates the power of poetry to encapsulate the human experience.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Some stories are whispered. Hers roars from the shadows. 
    Liv has mastered the art of pretending — pretending she’s okay, pretending she’s strong, pretending she can outrun the echoes of everything she’s survived. But silence has a way of catching up. 
    From childhood scars buried beneath perfect smiles to the relationships that promised rescue but brought more ruin, Liv’s life is a tightrope walk between chaos and clarity. Each chapter unravels secrets too heavy to hold, choices too painful to forget, and a voice that’s fought too long to stay unheard. 
    But this isn’t just a story of survival. 
    It’s a mirror. A message. A map. 
    When Silence Screams doesn’t just take you through Olivia’s journey — it walks beside your own. At the end of every chapter, powerful life lessons pull back the curtain on pain, healing, faith, and freedom. For every woman who’s ever questioned her worth, every girl who’s carried what she couldn’t name, this book becomes more than a memoir — it becomes a guide to coming home to yourself. 
    This is not a story of tragedy. 
    This is a story of becoming.

    The Language of the Birds - Poems

    According to legend, the language of the birds was a mystical language God used to talk with Adam and Eve when he walked with them in the garden of Eden. Amy Nemecek listens for this divine dialect as she communes with God on her walks along country roads and creek banks, through forests and hayfields. She observes the world around her with expectation, knowing that God still speaks to us as he is at work making all things new. If we have ears to hear, we can catch snippets of his grace in the watercolor silhouette of a bird, the thrum of a tractor engine, the tang of a grapefruit, the curvature of an ampersand. Amy doesn't want to miss any of it, so she remains attentive to the smooth grit of beach sand, the tendrils of a nebula, and the steady gaze of a fossil. She delights in the details, and you will too.
    In this collection of lyric and narrative poems, you are invited to walk with her as she reflects on larger themes of beauty, loss, motherhood, family, and vocation. She contemplates the sacredness of ordinary moments that we usually don't recognize except in hindsight. Twining through every line is an aching hopefulness that ties together her love of words, her devotion to scripture, and her deep gratitude for each of life's joys and griefs.

    Farhang honors the people, places, and things Patrick Woodcock has seen while working as a migrant writer, volunteer, and teacher for almost three decades. This book is the first of three that will celebrate, memorialize, or eulogize the myriad moments that impacted his life while also shaping the shade and content of his writing. Beginning in Poland in 1994 and ending in the hamlet of Paulatuk in the Northwest Territories in 2022, Farhang travels the globe through Lithuania, Russia, Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, the Kurdish North of Iraq, Azerbaijan, Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda. From the salt mines in Wieliczka to the dirt paths to the Baraa government school in Tanzania, where he volunteered, Woodcock has tried to honor the moment before it becomes muddled, dulled, or romanticized. Some of the poems are about friends or students, others are about the cracked knuckles of strangers, the crawling and the abandoned. Art, language, architecture, politics, and the suffering from politicians left unchecked are also a focus. Sadly, many of the poems are for friends and locations lost to either time, neglect, or warfare. Farhang tries to chronicle some of what no longer exists or only lives on in the poet’s head and soul.

    ‘I used to want a black enamel farmhouse sink. Now, I just want shelter.’
      
       
    From acclaimed playwright Karen Hines come two darkly comic meditations on security, safety, and shelter.
      
       
    Crawlspace is a comic, Kafkaesque monologue about the darker side of home ownership that moves past ‘cautionary’ as it snakes through the brutal battleground of Toronto real estate, decorative twig orbs, and the state of the human soul.
      
       
    All the Little Animals I Have Eaten explores questions surrounding existence, death, and salvation through the perspectives of one sleep-deprived young woman, the ghosts of brilliant authors, some well-heeled professionals, meth-curious lambs, a puppet in a beatnik onesie, tiny vertebrates, glowing arthropods, and other unexpected voices.
      
       
    Praise for the Videofag production of Crawlspace:
      
       
    ‘Karen Hines’s macabre monologue about a real-estate nightmare – and a dead animal stuck in a crawlspace – was all the more terrifying for being true. This was Hines at her most horrifyingly hilarious.’
      
       
    – Globe and Mail
      
       
    ‘Hines’s clever script, alternately savagely funny and disturbing, is full of facts the author keeps amending, underlining the bait-and-switch nature of the real estate swindle.’
      
       
    – NOW magazine
      
       
    ‘The kind of story you want to talk about as soon as you get home. Horrifying and enlightening.’
