  Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is based on his ingenious and profound poems, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in poetry. Poe was also the principal forerunner of the “art for art’s sake” movement in 19th-century literature. He demonstrated a brilliant command of language and technique as well as an inspired and original imagination. Poe’s poetry greatly influenced the French Symbolists of the late 19th century, who in turn altered the direction of modern literature. Here, perhaps, is his most icon lauded work as interpreted by veteran actor Giuliano.

  Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins

  Poems of Gerard Manley HopkinsNarrated by Denis DalyDuring his lifetime, Hopkins, who was ordained as a Jesuit priest, was best known as a scholar and a teacher of languages. In his youth he composed poetry prolifically, but detroyed all his juvenile work in 1867. In 1874 he commenced writing poetry again, but little of his verse was published in his lifetime. His work was rescued from obscurity by his friend and supporter, Robert Bridges, who later became poet laureate.Hopkins' reputation as a ground breaking poet developed rapidly after Bridges published a collection of Hopkins' verse in 1918. Today he is considered to be one of the most innovative poets of the Nineteenth Century and a major influence on such important figures as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas and W. H. Auden.Hopkin's verse is notable for its striking imagery and use of a unique rolling metrical structure, which he called sprung rhythm. Many of the themes in his poems are drawn from associations with the pentitential religious practices to which he regularly subjected himself, and the tone of many of his best known works is introspective and melancholy.Production copyright 2021 Voices of Today

  Ask yourself, what makes life worth living? 
  Our existence many has swirls and flings followed ups down; mountains, canyons, and rivers to cross. Understandably, we cannot unfailingly feel fulfilled. We feel depressed at times. That, too, is all right; the journey of life should not be marred by sadness; instead, we should place great emphasis on the treatment of others. Life's journey is worth exploring, though things may not be as we desire, and the people we encounter may not be just or reasonable. We are in control of how we treat others as that is within our power. 
  Something for you! 
  "A wise proverb stated that I should walk in someone else's shoes to get to know them. 
  After trying it, I found some too big, some too small, some smelly and others uncomfortable. 
  Another regarded advice said I should look at things through another's eyes. 
  I found things to be sometimes blurry, sometimes too close or far away, sometimes too vivid. 
  Society told me I needed to get to know each person individually. 
  I quickly realized I rarely had that kind of time. 
  Lastly, I was told to look inside myself. 
  I found things to be crowded, complicated, joyous, and painful. 
  Finally, I just decided to be kind."

  Maps and Transcripts of the...

  Kathryn Cowles

  This “innovative” poetry collection “uses text and image to explore the strangeness inherent in everyday experience” (Publishers Weekly).  
   
  “I take seven photographs turning / in a circle, a panorama, / but how will I place them hanging / on a wall back home? Something already slipping,” Kathryn Cowles writes. These poems surround a central question: how much of a moment is captured by the mechanisms we use to describe it? How much of the shore, the birds, the feeling? In pursuit of an answer, Cowles leads readers through a sequence of distinct landscapes (islands, plains, mountains, oceans), puzzling over and embracing the valley between literature and lived experience. Along the way, Cowles’s language is light but recursive, rotating around beloved places: a new house, a garden, a seemingly endless plane ride, a battery-operated spit of lamb, a photograph of a battery-operated spit of lamb, dogs, Sue, Ohio. This collection defamiliarizes and refamiliarizes the “actual world,” while navigating toward the clear and substantial stuff of living. Arresting on both visual and textual levels, Maps and Transcripts of the Ordinary World isa collection that lingers in memory and place, in the unsettled distance between reality and its transcriptions. 
   
  “Deftly shows that as we struggle to transform into language what we see and hear and feel, the results are inevitably incomplete; there’s a gap between what we want to say and what we actually manage.” —Library Journal 
   
  “The need to catalog, to document, and to mourn are all active forces in Cowles’s poems . . . a work of grappling with the representational and the real and the thin boundaries between them.” —Colorado Review
