Sinopse

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Complete Poems" stands as a testament to the enduring power of verse, encapsulating the breadth of human emotion and experience. Esteemed for his lyrical style and masterful command of meter, Longfellow'Äôs work traverses themes of love, loss, and the profound beauty of nature. Written during a time when American literature was carving its own identity apart from European influences, the collection reflects the Romantic ideals prominent in the 19th century, echoing the sentiments of longing and reflection while employing an accessible yet evocative language, appealing to both common readers and scholars alike. Longfellow, an integral figure in American literature, was influenced by his extensive travels and deep engagement with both classical and contemporary literary traditions. His own experiences with personal loss and a commitment to social justice, particularly in relation to abolition, infuse his poetry with a distinctive voice that resonates with ethical and emotional depth. Longfellow's academic background, along with his dedication to fostering American culture, led him to produce works that not only entertain but also inspire and educate future generations. Readers seeking an enriching literary journey into the heart of human experience will find "The Complete Poems" essential. This collection offers profound insights into 19th-century America while remaining timeless in its exploration of the human condition. Longfellow's ability to weave poignant narratives with melodic rhythm invites both casual readers and literary enthusiasts to reflect, find solace, and derive meaning from his magnificent poetic tapestry.

Hindsight is the first collection of poetry released by Ivanova. In many ways, Hindsight is an autobiography, capturing Sofiya's pre-teen and early teen years, and all the feelings that come with it. 
It covers topics such as losing your family pet, leaving behind your childhood, wanting to be special and important, your parents being imperfect people, mental health, etc, etc. And, of course, figuring out love. In Russian (the poet's first language), there's a saying that goes, “the first pancake comes out as a lump”, and that applies to love too. The first few pancakes, in this case. There are a lot of love poems. There are a lot of bitter poems, too, because art is a great outlet for anger. Those read as though they should have a mic drop at the end. 
Hindsight not only reads like a coming of age collection as an introduction to the world of a new and gifted poet. But, it is also an exorcism and celebration of the past as she becomes a poet that sees the world with clarity and beauty; a poet that we all need.

Fairies and FusiliersBy Robert GravesNarrated by Denis DalyPoet, soldier, novelist, translator and critic Robert Graves (1895 - 1985) was deeply familiar with both war and death.  Three times during his life Graves was considered to be on the point of death due to serious illness.  One of these was after his participation in the Battle of the Somme, after which he had been actually pronounced dead due to severe wounding.Graves enlisted as soon as the First World War was declared, and was rapidly promoted to lieutenant and later to captain.  Among his fellow soldiers was another poet, Siegfried Sassoon.  Together with Wilfred Owen, who did not survive, Graves and Sassoon represented the new generation of war poets - perceptive critical surveyors of the horrific and wasteful futility of modern warfare, drawing their judgements from bitter personal experience. Fairies and Fusiliers is a collection of 47 short poems and was dedicated to Graves' former regiment, the Royal Fusiliers.Production copyright 2024 Voices of Today

What the Living Do - Poems

Informed by the death of a beloved brother, here are the stories of childhood, its thicket of sex and sorrow and joy, boys and girls growing into men and women, stories of a brother who in his dying could teach how to be most alive. What the Living Do reflects ““a new form of confessional poetry, one shared to some degree by other women poets such as Sharon Olds and Jane Kenyon. Unlike the earlier confessional poetry of Plath, Lowell, Sexton et al., Howe’s writing is not so much a moan or a shriek as a song. It is a genuinely feminine form…a poetry of intimacy, witness, honesty, and relation”” (Boston Globe).



This audio edition of What the Living Do is beautifully read by the author. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
 
Where do you go from Shakespeare?  The choice and talents of who to choose from among other classic poets is overwhelming.  And yet many names cannot be left out.  Once again choice is subjective in some cases but, in many others, there can be no argument.

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.
