Sinossi

Twenty-five is so unique, let it be the only number you ever use. 
 What is so special about twenty-five? because I chose it. 
  
And so it is in life, whatever you decide is unique will be. 
You only need to say it and agree, and watch the world join you and say yes,  
indeed, you are right, twenty-five is truly special.  
  
Always remember this: you are capable of making anything unique; you are powerful. 
  
Sole is a collection of incredible and mind-blowing poems, with life lessons for you to live to fullness and be free. 
  
It is true that a good number of people believe in greatness, but only a few understand that achieving it could depend on the extent to which you want it. 
  
You can not have greatness without first yearning for it. Greatness happens to only those who desire to live great and go on the journey to achieving it.  
Do you genuinely yearn for greatness or assume that distinction is meant for a selected few? 
  
No one is born to leave a mark of greatness; whether rich or not, it is our responsibility to make great things happen to us; and you must first understand this.

Vassa (NHB Modern Plays)

Maxim Gorky

'There are no miracles in this world. Only those we make for ourselves.'
It's 8 a.m. and a revolt is underway.
The father is dying. The son is spying. The wife is cheating. The uncle is stealing. The mother is scheming. The dynasty is crumbling.
One house. One fortune. One victor.
Maxim Gorky's savagely funny play Vassa Zheleznova was first published in 1910. Mike Bartlett's adaptation, Vassa, premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London, in October 2019.

Ode to Bahá'u'lláh An

Nabíl-i-A'zam

LibriVox volunteers bring you 8 recordings of An Ode to Bahá'u'lláh by  Nabíl-i-A'zam (Mullá Muhammad Zarandí). This was the Weekly Poetry project for February 21st, 2010.Mullá Muhammad-i-Zarandí (29 July 1831 – 1892), more commonly known as Nabíl-i-A`zam or Nabíl-i-Zarandí, was an eminent Bahá'í historian during the time of Bahá'u'lláh, and one of the nineteen Apostles of Bahá'u'lláh. He is most famous for authoring The Dawn-breakers, which stands out as one of the most important and extensive accounts of the ministry of the Báb. Besides writing a lengthy history of the Bahá'í Faith, he wrote poetry about the historical events of the religion, which he would send to the Bahá'ís of Iran. He learned about the Bábí Faith at the age of 16 and met Bahá'u'lláh in 1851. He made several journeys on behalf of Bahá'u'lláh, was imprisoned in Egypt and is the only person known to have made the two pilgrimages to the House of the Báb in Shíráz and the House of Bahá'u'lláh in Baghdád in accordance with the rites set out by Bahá'u'lláh. After the passing of Bahá'u'lláh, and at the request of `Abdu'l-Bahá, he arranged a Tablet of Visitation from Bahá'u'lláh's writings which is now used in the Holy Shrines. Shortly afterwards, overcome with grief, he walked into the sea and drowned. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Duende - Poems

Tracy K. Smith

Duende, that dark and elusive force described by Federico García Lorca, is the creative and ecstatic power an artist seeks to channel from within. It can lead the artist toward revelation, but it must also, Lorca says, accept and even serenade the possibility of death. Tracy K. Smith's bold second poetry collection explores history and the intersections of folk traditions, political resistance, and personal survival. Duende gives passionate testament to suppressed cultures, and allows them to sing.
