  In the court of Louis XIV, adaptations of Greek tragedies were very popular. This play, heavily influenced by Euripides' Hippolytus, deals with love that violates social taboos. Note: In Racine's work, a new "scene" begins whenever a character enters or exits. Therefore, there are no stage directions, only a list of the characters on stage for each scene. The action is continuous for the entire act.

  Drive

  " Silently / pulling for itself, / the will wants the body to // give it what it wants," Sexton writes in " Between the Car and the Sea," at once a description of a car' s body propelling her onward, and of the poet herself, the one behind the wheel of this masterful fourth collection. In an extraordinary act of volition, the author does not stop at the trope of ambition, but powers instead toward the urgent concerns of the will, and intention.
  
  
  In Drive, Sexton explores our most fragile points of connection— to lovers and family, to the living and the dead, and to oneself, one' s own life' s work— with the care and wisdom of one who knows these roads. In her hands, these delicate boundaries become navigable. They are both her route and her destination.

  The Prophet — Audiobook 
  "No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." 
  First published in 1923, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran is one of the most beloved and enduring works of world literature — translated into over 100 languages and never once out of print. 
  Consisting of 26 prose poetry fables, the book speaks through the voice of a prophet on the deepest themes of human life — love, children, freedom, sorrow, beauty, and death. 
  "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." "What is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?" "Self is a sea boundless and measureless." 
  A Production Crafted with Care 
  This audiobook breathes life into Gibran's timeless words through a carefully crafted cast of voices. Almustafa and the narrator speak in American English, while the citizens of Orphalese — the ploughman, the merchant, the judge, the priestess, the scholar, the astronomer, and more — are voiced in British English, giving each figure their own distinct warmth and character. Every line has been reviewed by human editors to ensure a smooth listening experience. 
  Tip for the impatient listener: Chapters 1 and 28 are slightly longer than the rest — feel free to begin at Chapter 2 and circle back.

  An Orange A Syllable

  The latest book by Gillian Sze, author of the Pat Lowther Memorial Award–winning book Quiet Night Think
  		 
  This prosimetrical work is a meditation on motherhood, language, and art. The central speaker witnesses the earliest utterances of her child and launches into a poetic inquiry of words themselves, asking, How to measure one’s mouth by its words? The speaker seeks an answer amidst the language that surrounds her — words misspoken, mispronounced, remembered, unwritten — and, in doing so, struggles with signification and significance.
  		 
  Each prose poem in the five-part collection darts between the many meanings of “fit” — as in “a sudden burst of emotion” or “to be the right size and shape,” and the archaic “fytte” (a section of a poem). A text becomes an open mouth, a square day of a calendar, or a bare fragment of a narrative. The final section of the book is an intimate and ekphrastic engagement with the work of Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Drawn to Hammershøi’s paintings of the empty rooms of his apartment, the speaker recognizes a familiar space of art’s insistence.
  		 
  An Orange, A Syllable details a period of maternal and artistic transformation.
