  “Paul Laurence Dunbar: 16 Poems and Analyses with an Original Piano Underscore Adapted for Each Poem” is a richly immersive audiobook that brings one of America’s most beloved poets to vivid, resonant life. This unique collection blends Dunbar’s poetic mastery with thoughtful literary interpretation and original piano compositions crafted to mirror the tone, rhythm, and emotional landscape of each piece. The result is a listening experience that honors Dunbar’s legacy while offering fresh pathways into his work for both longtime admirers and new audiences. 
  Across these sixteen carefully chosen poems, listeners will encounter the full range of Dunbar’s genius—his lyrical tenderness, sharp social insight, humor, sorrow, musicality, and extraordinary command of both dialect and traditional verse. Each poem is followed by a clear, engaging analysis that illuminates themes, historical context, poetic techniques, and the nuances that give Dunbar’s writing its enduring power. The analyses deepen appreciation without academic heaviness, offering accessible guidance that enhances rather than interrupts the listening journey. 
  The original piano underscore is crafted specifically for this production, with each piece composed to complement the emotional geography of its poem. Gentle, contemplative melodies accompany Dunbar’s moments of brighter, lilting motifs animate his scenes of warmth and daily life; and deeper, resonant harmonies underscore his explorations of struggle, dignity, and resilience. The music never overwhelms the poetry—rather, it expands it, creating a layered, atmospheric tapestry that brings out subtleties of mood and meaning. 
  Whether you are studying Dunbar, rediscovering him, or stepping into his world for the first time, this audiobook offers a beautifully curated, thoughtfully structured, and artistically enriched encounter with one of America’s essential poetic voices,. 
  Paul Laurence Dunbar's works are in the public domain.

  An Australian/English historical drama set in the unforgiving landscape of the Australian outback during the 1950s, the story follows the life of Katherine, an English child migrant who is consigned to an austere life on an isolated property beyond Broken Hill. There is little love in Katherine's life until Aboriginal station hands offer their friendship, but love comes at a deadly price. 
  Part two brings listeners to the modern-day English Lake District before taking us back to Australia for the story's climax. Inspired by the true experiences of family and friends closest to the author, Black Bones, Red Earth is a story of hope, love, sacrifice and resilience. 
  Beautifully read by Australian actress, Sandy Gore, star of television, film and stage, this heart wrenching tale is the sometimes harrowing, yet ultimately uplifting story of a child's search for love, and a woman's test of faith. Katherine's journey is an emotional roller-coaster with a deeply satisfying ending.

  Except her mum's got used to having a life of her own, and doesn't fancy giving up pole-dancing class and Tinder to go back to changing nappies and no sleep. Meanwhile, fresh out of hospital with a broken leg, her nan's having a three-quarter-life crisis of her own.
