Synopsis

Modern American Poetry gathers the restless energies of a literature shaped by rupture, experimentation, and democratic multiplicity. Read as an anthology, it traces the movement from inherited lyric forms toward free verse, imagism, modernist fragmentation, confessional intensity, and socially engaged utterance. Its poems register urban acceleration, war, migration, race, gender, industrial modernity, and the persistent search for a distinctly American idiom. The collection's value lies not only in individual brilliance but in the conversation it stages among competing voices and forms. Because the author is "Various," the book is best understood as a collective portrait rather than a single imaginative project. Its makers are the poets themselves, drawn from divergent regions, traditions, and historical pressures, each responding to the transformation of American life in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and beyond. Their varied backgrounds—immigrant, rural, metropolitan, marginalized, academic, radical—help explain the anthology's breadth and its refusal of one authoritative national voice. This volume is highly recommended for readers seeking an intelligent entrance into American poetic modernity. Students, teachers, and general readers will find in it a compact but resonant map of literary innovation, cultural conflict, and enduring artistic ambition.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. How do you fight a ghost who controls the very machine hunting him? 
     
    Eugene Terrell Barkley has spent his life training for a fight he never saw coming. A disciplined Seido Juku karate expert with a voice built to command a room, Eugene grew up in the shadow of a father he believed died decades ago on the streets of Chicago. But the truth is far more dangerous than any grave: his father, Jarvis Meadows, is alive — and he has become a master of systemic manipulation.  He doesn't hide from the law; he operates the very federal databases built to track the nation's most violent criminals. To Jarvis, the world is a fraud and everyone in it is a mark — including the son he always intended to reshape in his own image. 
     
    When the VI-CAP investigation closes in, the line between predator and prey starts to blur. With the help of Madeline — a sharp, watchful ally whose love is the one variable Jarvis can never quantify — Eugene must navigate a labyrinth of financial predation, institutional failure, and inherited trauma. As Jarvis quietly prepares a "Staged Exit" to vanish forever, Eugene faces an impossible question: is blood thicker than water, or is he the one man disciplined enough to break his father's recipe for madness? 
     
    Book One in An American Recipe for Madness, The VI-CAP Ghost is a gritty, character-driven crime thriller about legacy, silence, and survival — where trauma becomes inheritance and the machines meant to protect us become the hunter's sharpest weapon. Told with the tension of a technical procedural and the intimacy of a family tragedy, it's built for listeners who want their thrillers grounded, personal, and unflinching. 
     
    Perfect for fans of psychological tradecraft, financial-crime thrillers, and stories where the villain is closer than the hero ever imagined. Settle in — this one gets under your skin.

    I Will Not Fold These Maps

    Mona Kareem is a stateless poet, born in Kuwait, whose work has been internationally acclaimed for its power and immediacy ever since she published her first collection at the age of 14. Her writing comes out of the experience of growing up with 'Bidoon' status (from 'bidoon jinsiya' or 'without nationality'); an Arab minority denied Kuwaiti citizenship rights, who were categorised as 'illegal residents' and stripped of their access to employment, education, social welfare and official documentation a year before her birth.
    
    Her poems are surreal, relying heavily on vivid metaphors, often to bridge the gap between the self and what lies outside the self. They enact a boundless porosity between the body, nature, and the material world. Kareem plays with language to explore the infinite depths of human experience and identity. These poems, with dates, times and places obscured, present us with new maps of precarious, unstable, and permeable geopolitics. Kareem delineates 'rupture' as a facet of the migrant's experience.

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Sanai's book, The Enclosed Garden of the Truth, a treatise on God and the seekers journey to Him, forms one part of three highly influential early Sufi works. The others being Attar's Conference of the Birds and Rumi's Masnavi. Sanai's work is considered to be the first to use poetry to express religious, spiritual and mystical ideas. Rumi acknowledges both Sanai and Attar as having a major influence on his own poetry and stated 'Attar is the soul and Sanai the two eyes'. But for all its influence the book was largely unknown to the English speaking world until Stephenson researched and translated the work culminating in the edition of 1910. His translation, largely an academic work, printed in prosed paragraph form. Hakim Abul-Majd Majdūd ibn Ādam Sanā'ī Ghaznavi, more commonly known as Sanai, was a poet from Ghazni who lived his life in the Ghaznavid Empire which is now located in Afghanistan. He was born in 1080 and died between 1131 and 1141.
