    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    Christina Rossetti’s poetry is marked by lyrical restraint, emotional depth, and spiritual intensity. Her verse weaves simplicity with symbolism, exploring love, renunciation, faith, longing, and mortality in language that is both clear and haunting. Drawing on natural imagery, biblical resonance, and quiet musicality, Rossetti’s poems speak with a voice that is intimate yet enduring, tender yet unsparing. 
    This audiobook presents a carefully curated selection of her poems, each accompanied by an original literary analysis that illuminates Rossetti’s themes, imagery, and emotional architecture. Enhancing the experience, a specially composed piano underscore accompanies every poem, written to reflect its mood, rhythm, and inner tension. Together, poetry, analysis, and music create an immersive listening experience that deepens understanding while preserving the quiet power of Rossetti’s voice.

    "In much of the best contemporary poetry, beauty of thought is at least as important as beauty of language. Carl Phillips, here reading his own Pulitzer Prize-winning collection, has an ample supply of both, but it is the thinking behind each poem that makes it possible for the language to have power." - AudioFileWINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYA new collection of poems from one of America’s most essential, celebrated, and enduring poets, Carl Phillips's Then the WarI’m a song, changing. I’m a light rain falling through a vast darkness toward a different darkness.Carl Phillips has aptly described his work as an “ongoing quest”; Then the War is the next step in that meaningful process of self-discovery for both the poet and his reader. The new poems, written in a time of rising racial conflict in the United States, with its attendant violence and uncertainty, find Phillips entering deeper into the landscape he has made his own: a forest of intimacy, queerness, and moral inquiry, where the farther we go, the more difficult it is to remember why or where we started. Then the War includes a generous selection of Phillips’s work from the previous thirteen years, as well as his recent lyric prose memoir, “Among the Trees,” and his chapbook, Star Map with Action Figures.Ultimately, Phillips refuses pessimism, arguing for tenderness and human connection as profound forces for revolution and conjuring a spell against indifference and the easy escapes of nostalgia. Then the War is luminous testimony to the power of self-reckoning and to Carl Phillips as an ever-changing, necessary voice in contemporary poetry.
