  A Whistling of Birds

  Elizabeth Bishop's hawkweed, John Berryman's hummingbirds, Ted Hughes's burnt fox – the birds, beasts and flowers of Isobel Dixon's new collection are at times kin to D.H. Lawrence, whose essay 'Whistling of Birds' lends this book its name, though each poem here is its own vivid testament to the natural world, and our often troubled and troubling place in it. Lyrical, vigorous, inventive, A Whistling of Birds is at times in conversation with Lawrence's iconic collection, Birds, Beasts and Flowers, but also ranges widely through the worlds of other writers and makers – from the Venerable Bede to Emily Dickinson, Georgia O'Keeffe to Glenn Gould, and a wealth of other connections closely examined and delicately drawn. With its resonant elegies and notes of celebration, this is a collection that flexes, hums and brims with energy, yet surely draws you in to its quiet, reflective heart.

  Under the Big Oak Tree is an intimate spoken-word audiobook that invites listeners into the narratives that shape what it means to be alive. 
  The poems navigate the unexpected, the joyful, the messy, and the fleeting moments in life. Each chapter tiptoes (and sometimes stumbles) into the often-painful beauty of personal growth, touching on themes of dating, family, mental health, heartache, hope, growth, and love. 
  Performed by the author, this narration captures the natural rhythm, pauses, and emotional cadence of the poems as they were meant to be heard. Rooted in free-verse and delivered with a spoken-word flair, the audiobook offers a raw, grounded listening experience that feels personal, present, and alive. 
  This Audiobook Edition features narration only, with no music or sound effects, allowing the words, and their meaning, to stand on their own. 
  Ideal for listeners who connect with reflective poetry, spoken word, and the complications of love.

  The Love Poems

  Ovid

  The Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso (Ovid) is best known for his epic poem Metamorphoses, a collection of myths and legends from Ancient Greece and Rome. His works continue to be widely read and admired, and he is regarded as one of the most significant poets of ancient Rome.
  Ovid’s love poems are both brilliant and evocative. In Amores (‘Loves’), the romantic mysteriousness of elegiac love-poetry is exploded by his witty and ironic treatment of the form. Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love) and Remedia Amoris (The Cures for Love) both lay down the rules for the game of love, which both sexes can play.
  A.D. Melville’s translations, which also include the lesser-known Cosmetics for Ladies, have been specially licensed for this recording. It is delivered with customary panache by David Timson.

  The Metamorphosis

  Franz Kafka

  "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."
  
  With one of the most famous opening lines in literary history, Franz Kafka plunges the reader into the life of Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who becomes a monstrous vermin overnight. But the true horror of The Metamorphosis isn't the physical transformation—it is the reaction of the world around him. As Gregor becomes a burden to the family he once supported, the story unfolds into a tragic, darkly comic, and deeply unsettling exploration of isolation and the fragile nature of human worth.
  
  The Birth of the "Kafkaesque": Kafka's narrative style creates a world that is at once mundane and nightmarish. The "Kafkaesque" experience is defined by the struggle against an illogical, bureaucratic, and uncaring power—in this case, the expectations of labor and the cold pragmatism of a family under economic stress. Gregor's transformation serves as a powerful metaphor for anyone who has ever felt "othered," discarded, or trapped by their social role.
  
  A Deeply Human Tragedy: Beyond the surreal premise lies a searing look at family dynamics. Witness the transformation of Grete, Gregor's sister, from a sympathetic caretaker to the primary advocate for his removal. The Metamorphosis challenges us to ask: If we can no longer provide value to those we love, do we still deserve their love? It is a quintessential work of 20th-century literature that remains as relevant and gut-wrenching today as the day it was written.
  
  Step into the room of Gregor Samsa. Purchase "The Metamorphosis" today and experience the ultimate story of the outsider.
