  Tintern Abbey - Glorious poem...

  William Wordsworth

  William Wordsworth was born on 7 April, 1770 in Cockermouth, in Cumbria, northwest England.  
  Wordsworth spent his early years in his beloved Lake District often with his sister, Dorothy. The English lakes could terrify as well as nurture, and as Wordsworth would write “I grew up fostered alike by beauty and by fear,” 
  After being schooled at Hawkshead he went to St. John’s College, Cambridge but not liking the competitive nature of the place idled his way through saying he “was not for that hour, nor for that place.”  
  Whilst still at Cambridge he travelled to France.  He was immediately taken by the Revolutionary fervor and the confluence of a set of great ideals and rallying calls for the people of France. 
  In his early twenties he ventured again to France and fathered an illegitimate child. He would not see that daughter till she was 9 owing to the tensions and hostilities between England and France. 
  There now followed a period of three to four years that plagued Wordsworth with doubt.  He was now in his early thirties but had no profession, was rootless and virtually penniless.  
  Although his career was not on track he did manage to publish two volumes, both in 1793;  An Evening Walk and Descriptive Sketches. 
  This dark period ended in 1795. A legacy of £900 received from Raisley Calvert enabled Wordsworth to pursue a literary career in earnest.  
  In 1797 he became great friends with a fellow poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. They formed a partnership that would change both their lives and the course of English poetry. 
  Their aim was for a decisive break with the strictures of Neoclassical verse. In 1798 the ground breaking Lyrical Ballads was published. Wordsworth wrote in the preface “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” Most of the poems were dramatic in form, designed to reveal the character of the speaker. Thus the poems set forth a new style, a new vocabulary, and new subjects for poetry. 
  Coleridge had also conceived of an enormous poem to be called “The Brook,” in which he proposed to treat all science, philosophy, and religion, but soon laid the burden of writing it to Wordsworth.  To test his powers for that endeavour, Wordsworth began writing the autobiographical poem that would absorb him for the next 40 years, and which was eventually published as The Prelude, or, Growth of a Poet’s Mind.  
  By the 1820s, the critical acclaim for Wordsworth was growing, but perhaps his best years of work were behind him. Nonetheless he continued to write and to revise previous works.  
  With the death is 1843 of his friend and Poet Laureate Robert Southey, Wordsworth was offered the position. He accepted despite saying he wouldn’t write any poetry as Poet Laureate. And indeed he didn’t. 
  Wordsworth died of pleurisy on 23 April 1850. He was buried in St Oswald’s church Grasmere.

  Khairani Barokka's uncompromising third collection of poetry amuk sheds light on the devastating and ongoing effects of a single word's mistranslation, and emphasises what exists in opposition to such hostile histories and presents: hope, resistance, and joy.
  Groundbreaking in its use of form and poetics, amuk deconstructs the brutal workings of oppressive systems to examine how, "through macheted etymology", violence and suffering is replicated through (mis)translation. These radical poems of fury and prayer look towards the vital, living resistance of persisting languages, and resilient peoples.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  A brutal coming-of-age Western set in blood, dust, and redemption. The Boy follows a young Black gunman forged by tragedy and raised by an outlaw prospector in a violent American frontier where justice is paid for in gunfire, silence, and consequence. 
  When the boy’s father—feared across the territory as the man who could outdraw any living soul—is murdered and left without dignity, the boy swears revenge. Guided only by harsh lessons, instinct, and the code of the dying West, he grows into a quiet storm: patient, disciplined, and lethal. 
  But revenge is never simple, and the trail forces him to confront more than his father’s killer. Along the way he finds love, betrayal, cruelty, unexpected mercy, and the terrifying truth that a man must decide whether violence defines him—or frees him. 
  Dark, poetic, and cinematic, The Boy blends Western grit with emotional depth and cultural legacy. It explores the cost of survival, the burden of history, and the myth of the gunfighter through a voice both intimate and unforgiving. 
  For listeners who enjoy Cormac McCarthy, Sergio Leone stylings, or stories rooted in justice, rage, and resilience, this is a Western that doesn’t just aim—it hits.
