  The Mahabharata is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India. Traditionally, the authorship of the Mahabharata is attributed to Vyasa. With more than 74,000 verses, Mahabharata is said to be the longest poem. Mahabharata tells the story of the epic Kurukshetra War and the fates of the cousin brothers Kauravas and the Pandavas. But more than that the Mahabharata contains much philosophical and devotional material, such as a discussion of the four "goals of life" or 'purusharthas'. The latter are enumerated as dharma (right action), artha (purpose), kama (pleasure), and moksha (liberation). (Introduction by om123)

  This program is read by the author.The debut poetry collection from Lyndsay Rush (aka @maryoliversdrunkcousin) is a humorous and joyful celebration of big feelings, tender truths, and hard-won wisdom, for fans of Maggie Smith, Kate Baer, and Kate Kennedy.At long last, a book of poetry for people who didn’t even know they liked poetry. And they’re in good company: author Lyndsay Rush didn’t know she liked it either. That is, until she embarked on an internet experiment under the Instagram username @MaryOliversDrunkCousin that turned into a body of work that struck a chord with women across the country; thanks to her signature wordplay, witticisms, and—against all odds—wisdom.With titles like "Shedonism", "Someone to Eat Chips With", "It’s Called Maximalism, Babe", and "Breaking News: Local Woman Gets Out of Bed", Rush’s debut collection of poetry uses humor to grapple with the female experience—from questioning whether or not to have children, to roasting the patriarchy, to challenging what it means to "age gracefully"—and each piece delivers gut-punching truths alongside gratifying punchlines. Readers walk away from Lyndsay’s work feeling seen, celebrated, and wholly convinced that joy is an urgent, worthwhile pursuit.With over 140 convention-bending poems—most of which are never-before-seen—this book is quite literally A Bit Much.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Sound Poetry: History and Developments of a Poetic Vanguard investigates the evolution of sound poetry as a radical, transdisciplinary literary form. Drawing from a dissertation originally presented at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), this revised English edition deepens the discussion on the aesthetic and political implications of sound in poetic creation. The book includes interviews with poets and scholars from Brazil and abroad and examines the work of key avant-garde practitioners.A central reference throughout the study is the pioneering theoretical framework of Brazilian poet and researcher Philadelpho Menezes. His vision of intersemiotic and performative poetics significantly shapes the analysis. While the original Portuguese edition (2009) included a preface by Brazilian artist Wilton Azevedo, this English edition is introduced by renowned Italian sound poet Enzo Minarelli. The translation includes more paraphrased passages for accessibility without compromising academic depth. Published by Dialética, this edition is available in print, digital, and audiovisual formats. The book is a key resource for readers, researchers, and artists interested in experimental poetry, performance, and the expanded possibilities of the poetic voice.
