Beschreibung

Inspired by the innovations of Theocritus, Moschus of Syracuse and Bion of Smyrna further developed the bucolic genre of poetry. Their extant works describe pastoral scenes of rural life in a classical style, composed in dactylic hexameters and Doric dialect. The three members of the bucolic canon were highly regarded throughout Greco-Roman antiquity and into the modern era. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts.  This eBook presents Moschus and Bion’s complete works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time. 
Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career. 
Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems 
as well as debuting some brand-new work.

"Where does all the grief go when it's not tugging at your wrist?" Enyegue's debut collection is an ode to girlhood, to Blackness, to generational trauma, sexual assault, and mental health. 
 
This collection does not aim to heal anyone who reads it, but instead help them confront their own healing. Rather than sugar-coated bullets that enter you lightly, these poems are designed to hurt.  
 
They are for the girls with difficult names, the boys with softness at their core, and the people with neither. They are meant for the people who are Black, and the people who are not—because we are all tethered together by the heaviness of the human experience.

Chamber Musicby James JoyceNarrated by Denis DalyThis collection of 36 short poems was published in 1907.The title is alleged to be an ironic pun referring cryptically to the sound of urine striking the sides of a chamber pot. However, the poems have no touch of vulgarity or bawdiness.The collection received favorable critical comments from Ezra Pound and W. B. Yeats.Joyce later commented on the poems: "When I wrote Chamber Music, I was a lonely boy, walking about by myself at night and thinking that one day a girl would love me."Production copyright 2024 Voices of Today

Winner of the 2024 New Poets Prize, judged by Holly Hopkins.
An archaeological dig, a visit to an imagined London, puppies that come back from the dead. In Notes on Burials, Jayant Kashyap makes a series of journeys: real, mythological and etymological as he navigates what is lost and what is buried. Kashyap's poems of love and remembrance reach out to collective losses, human and environmental, in a series of disappearing acts and excavations that take us from broken childhood patio to a snowboarder in an avalanche.
