Please make me pretty I don't...

Tawanda Mulalu

The debut collection of an exciting new voice in poetry 
 
 
 
Please make me pretty, I don't want to die explores tactility, sound, sensuality, and intimacy. Set across the four seasons of a year, these fresh and original poems by Tawanda Mulalu combine an inviting confessional voice and offbeat imagery, and offer an appealing mixture of seriousness and humor. 
 
 
 
The speaker of these poems probes romantic and interracial intimacy, the strangeness and difficulty of his experiences as a diasporic Black African in White America, his time working as a teacher's assistant in a third-grade classroom, and his ambivalent admiration for canonical poets who have influenced him, especially Sylvia Plath. Juxtaposing traditional forms such as sonnets and elegies with less orthodox interjections, such as prose-poem "prayers" and other meditations, the collection presents a poetic world both familiar and jarring—one in which history, the body, and poetry can collide in a single surprising turn of image: "The stars also suffer. Immense and dead, their gasses burn / distant like castanets of antebellum teeth. My open window / a synecdoche of country."

William Shakespeare: Macbeth A...

William Shakespeare, Jürgen...

Unabridged version with stage directions! With Macbeth, William Shakespeare created one of the most powerful tragedies in world literature—a dark and gripping exploration of ambition, guilt, and the corrupting force of power. This unabridged audiobook presents the play in its complete original form, including all stage directions, with each character clearly announced before their lines—performed by a single narrator who brings clarity and cohesion to the drama. At the heart of the play is Macbeth, a Scottish general whose encounter with three mysterious witches awakens a dangerous ambition: to become king. Urged on by the equally determined Lady Macbeth, he kills the king and seizes the crown. Yet victory quickly turns to torment. Haunted by guilt and driven by fear, Macbeth descends into paranoia and violence, while Lady Macbeth is consumed by her own unraveling conscience. What begins as a prophecy becomes a relentless spiral toward destruction. In this complete reading, Shakespeare's language unfolds with full intensity. The inclusion of stage directions allows listeners to visualize the action, while the clear identification of characters enhances understanding and dramatic flow—making this a uniquely immersive listening experience. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon and is widely regarded as the greatest playwright in the English language. His works—spanning tragedies, comedies, and histories—explore the depths of human nature with unmatched insight and poetic brilliance. This unabridged audiobook of Macbeth offers a complete and compelling encounter with Shakespeare's tragic vision—intense, atmospheric, and timeless.
