The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Sinossi

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a masterful collection of quatrains that captures the essence of existence through its meditative reflections on life, love, and mortality. With a unique literary style that combines lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, Khayyam's work employs a rich tapestry of imagery and metaphor, skillfully intertwining themes of carpe diem and existential contemplation. Composed in the 11th century during the Islamic Golden Age, the Rubaiyat stands at the crossroads of Persian literary traditions and philosophical inquiry, resonating with the mysticism and yearning for knowledge characteristic of medieval Persian poetry. Omar Khayyam was not only a renowned poet but also an accomplished mathematician and astronomer, which profoundly influenced his worldview and themes in his poetry. Living in a time of rich cultural exchange, Khayyam's duality of scientific and poetic endeavors narrates the quest for understanding the mysteries of life, paralleling the existential questions that permeate his verses. His background as a polymath offered him a distinct perspective on the transient nature of existence, making his reflections all the more poignant. The Rubaiyat invites readers to ponder the complexity of their own lives while enjoying the exquisite craftsmanship of Khayyam's verses. This timeless work offers insights that are as relevant today as they were a millennium ago, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to explore the beauty and brevity of life. Readers of poetry, philosophy, and anyone enamored with the nuances of human experience will find in Khayyam's Rubaiyat a profound source of inspiration.

The Hoarders

Caleb Leow

Caleb Leow's The Hoarders was a winner of the 2023 New Poets' Prize.
'The Hoarders resounds with a subtle and unsettling music which creates its own complex, multilingual logic, even as Leow brings an attentive eye and an inquisitive wit to bear on a wide range of themes both personal and political. These are vivid and evocative poems which bear re-reading, and Leow is clearly a talent to watch.' - Mary Jean Chan

Ordinary Beast - Poems

Nicole Sealey

ONE OF PUBLISHERS WEEKLY'S TOP 10 POETRY BOOKS OF FALL 2017 
NPR'S MOST ANTICIPATED POETRY BOOKS OF 2017 
 
A striking, full-length debut collection from Virgin Islands-born poet Nicole Sealey 
The existential magnitude, deep intellect, and playful subversion of St. Thomas-born, Florida-raised poet Nicole Sealey’s work is restless in its empathic, succinct examination and lucid awareness of what it means to be human. 
The ranging scope of inquiry undertaken in Ordinary Beast—at times philosophical, emotional, and experiential—is evident in each thrilling twist of image by the poet. In brilliant, often ironic lines that move from meditation to matter of fact in a single beat, Sealey’s voice is always awake to the natural world, to the pain and punishment of existence, to the origins and demises of humanity. Exploring notions of race, sexuality, gender, myth, history, and embodiment with profound understanding, Sealey’s is a poetry that refuses to turn a blind eye or deny. It is a poetry of daunting knowledge.  
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
