Beschreibung

In "Verses 1889-1896," Rudyard Kipling presents a compelling anthology of poetry that encapsulates his diverse engagement with themes such as imperialism, childhood, and the complexities of human experience. The collection showcases Kipling's distinctive literary style, marked by musicality and vivid imagery, which reflects both his mastery of traditional forms and a willingness to innovate. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period of significant British expansion and societal change, these verses serve as a microcosm of the era's cultural and political tensions, revealing the intricacies of life within a global empire. Rudyard Kipling, a product of colonial India, drew profoundly on his personal experiences and observations to craft his literary voice. His early life in the Indian subcontinent, coupled with later experiences in England and a deep-seated fascination with the imperial ethos, profoundly influenced his writing, particularly within the context of adventure and the psychological journey of the individual. Kipling's dual identity as both an insider and outsider affords his work a unique depth, plumbing the strains of belonging and alienation. "Verses 1889-1896" is recommended for readers interested in exploring the rich interplay of personal and national identity through poetry. Whether you are a longtime admirer of Kipling or a newcomer to his work, this collection promises a nuanced reflection on the Victorian condition and remains a cornerstone in understanding the literary landscape of its time.

    Don Langford’s poetry is inseparable from self exploration. Here, the poet examines impermanence, patience, and interconnectedness with a seeker’s longing for equanimity and meaning. With keen observations and strands of wit and humor, In the Light of the Full Moon is a meditation on finding one’s way in the present world. A poet’s sense of wonder permeates these poems, as does a deep sense of gratitude for the special place we occupy in the long human lineage spanning thousands of generations.

    LibriVox readers present the fourth collection of monologues from Shakespeare’s plays. Containing 20 parts.William Shakespeare (April 26, 1564 – April 23, 1616) remains widely to be considered the single greatest playwright of all time. He wrote in such a variety of genres - tragedy, comedy, romance, &c - that there is always at least one monologue in each of his plays. Some of these teach a lesson, some simply characterize Shakespeare at his best, some are funny, some sad, but all are very moving. Each monologue will touch everybody differently. Some people will be so moved by a particular monologue that they will want to record it. (summary by Shurtagal)

    Finalist for the Four Quartets Prize, given by Poetry Society of America, 2023An iconoclastic ecopoet who has led the way for many young and emerging artists, Brenda Hillman continues to re-cast innovative poetic forms as instruments for tracking human and non-human experiences. At times the poet deploys short dialogues, meditations or trance techniques as means of rendering inner states; other times she uses narrative, documentary or scientific materials to record daily events during a time of pandemic, planetary crisis, political and racial turmoil. Hillman proposes that poetry offers courage even in times of existential peril; her work represents what is most necessary and fresh in American poetry. During an enchantment in the lifeDo you love a living person         absolutely? Tell them now.In a half-unwieldy life you made, underthe hyaline sky, while the dead         drank from zigzag pools nearby,if they saved you in your wild incapacities,         in timing of the world's harmin a little pettiness in your own heart while others took         your madrigals in shreds to a tribunal,         when others said you should feel grateful        to be minimally adequate for the world'striple exposure or some tired committee...         The ones who love us, how do theybreak through our defenses?         We're tired today. Come back later.Their baffled voices melting our wax wallswith a candle, the ones who understandwhat being is—the glowing, the broken,the wheels, the brave ones—        they have their courage,you have yours,,,;         when you meet the one you love,it is so rare. When you meetthe one who loves you, it is extremely rare.

    Varied in subject matter, these poems are clearly in the control of a singular voice. There is wonderful use of imagery throughout and surprising metaphor in abundance, in gentle and inventive poems that explores ideas of love, home, family and loss.– Hannah Lowe
