Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth

Sinopsis

In the emergent collection 'Lyrical Ballads and other Poems,' readers are invited to traverse the revolutionary literary landscape forged by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This anthology represents a pivotal moment in the Romantic Movement, effectively blending the introspective with the sublime and the pastoral with the metaphysical. The collection is renowned for its innovative approach to language, eschewing the ornate in favor of simplicity to heighten emotional resonance. Standout pieces provoke a profound exploration of human vulnerability and the mysteries of nature, evoking both the tranquility and terror that underpin the human experience. The anthology is anchored by the prodigious talents of Wordsworth and Coleridge, whose individual yet harmonious voices advance the principles of Romanticism. Their collaboration reflects an era of profound literary experimentation and philosophical inquiry. From Wordsworth's pastoral reflections to Coleridge's meditative metaphysics, the anthology encapsulates the richness of the Romantic ethos. Both poets draw from the wellsprings of nature, emotion, and imagination, creating a collective tapestry that challenges Enlightenment rationalism and celebrates the sublime. 'Lyrical Ballads and other Poems' is an essential acquisition for anyone seeking to comprehend the depth of Romantic literature's emotional and philosophical textures. This anthology not only offers a chance to engage with the pivotal works of Wordsworth and Coleridge but also serves as a lens through which to view the broader Romantic movement. Readers will find educational merit and a profound dialogue between the concepts of individual experience and nature's transcendence. Whether academic or curiosity-driven, this collection promises a transformative voyage into the heart of Romantic innovation.

WINNER OF THE 2021 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY 
 
 
 
WINNER OF THE 2022 PEN/VOELCKER AWARD FOR POETRY COLLECTION 
 
 
 
WINNER OF THE 2021 LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR POETRY 
 
 
 
A resplendent life in sonnets from the author of Four-Legged Girl, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize 
 
 
 
"The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.

Edgar Allan Poe : The Raven and...

Edgar Allen Poe

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more." Those sonorous and somber words of Edgar Allan Poe that begin The Raven are part of most everyone's fond educational memories. Beautiful and haunting to hear and even more fun to read aloud. In this recording I have just attempted to express my enjoyment of the beauty in some favorite Poe poems. Beside The Raven, there are Alone; A Dream Within A Dream; Annabel Lee; City In the Sea; The Bells; A Dream Within a Dream; Annabel Lee; Dreamland; Evening Star; Lenore; Eldorado; A Valentine and "The Happiest Day". Hopefully listeners will enjoy hearing them half as much as I enjoyed the selfish pleasure of recording them.

Escape Velocity

Cate McNider

Cate McNider's poetry is a remarkable journey through the depths of the human experience. In Escape Velocity, she invites us to explore the uncharted territories of our inner selves and discover what lies beneath the surface. With each poem, she fearlessly confronts her own conditioning and strips away the layers of habit and illusion that obscure our true nature. 
Her words are a profound meditation on the power of vulnerability and the transformative force of love and understanding. McNider takes us on a journey through the Void, the space within ourselves where we can find the answers to life's most profound questions. 
Through her daring, honest, and often humorous approach, McNider reminds us that we are all the Source of our own reality. Her poetry is not just a reportage of her own transcendent process, but a call to action for each of us to undertake our own journey of self-discovery. 
Escape Velocity is not just a collection of poems, but a profound work of art that challenges us to see ourselves and thus the world with new eyes. McNider's courage and insight will leave you potently aware, daring you to take the leap into the unknown and discover the truth that lies within.
