Beschreibung

These poems are alive with electricity, pulsating with a frequency that vibrates throughout.
In a journey from there to here, The Bone Library examines and interprets all of human life. Throughout the collection Jenni Fagan responds to broader themes of identity, of place, of love and the unloved.
Written in the old Dick Vet Bone Library during the author's time as writer-in-residence there, this is a vivid exploration that is honest and searching and cuts to the very core of what it is to be alive.
Verfügbar seit: 01.09.2022.

    Charles Baudelaire is one of the greatest French poets. His most famous work, Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), was deemed scandalous at the time because of its themes of sex and death, lesbianism, corruption, wine, and the oppressiveness of living. Its powerful imagery and ravaging use of the senses had many name him an unequaled master; the effect on fellow artists was "immense, prodigious, unexpected, mingled with admiration and with some indefinable anxious fear", while the regime of the Second Empire had Baudelaire prosecuted and fined for his "insult to public decency". Baudelaire's style had a tremendous influence on French poetry and also on English writers; he was a pioneering translator, and created strong ties with the Anglo-Saxon literature.We have selected for you 16 of his most striking poems in the most precise translation available: A Former LifeBeautyCorrespondencesDon Juan in HadesExotic PerfumeThe BalconyThe BeaconsThe Dance of DeathThe Death of LoversThe Evil MonkThe IrreparableThe Living FlameThe Sadness of the MoonThe Sick MuseThe TemptationThe Venal Muse

    In No One to Wake, Marilyn C. O’Leary shares "a bouquet of mourning" the death of her husband of 50 years. This audiobook of poetry is beyond beautiful. And one needn’t have been married for 50 years, or married at all, to feel softly wrapped in the understanding of how it feels to lose someone you love deeply. Both pain and transcendence are painted in her poems, plus the naturalness and magic of death itself: "...you took your leave breathing like a fish, swimming out into an ocean of darkness and love." She also addresses the guilty urge to look back and question whether she did enough, whether she was enough: "The recipe for my life had ingredients you didn’t like," and then acknowledges that "our relationship was whole." 
 
And then there’s the need to go on. She recognizes the "freedom" that comes from loss; "sadness an opening...[to] find yourself unwrapped. I could do anything, be anything, go anywhere," she writes, "[but] what if it wasn’t you who kept me tethered? In this audiobook, O’Leary takes us from the dark folds of anguish where we’re sometimes drawn towards death ourselves, to the realization that "the answer to all is Life."
