  Jane Austen – An Introduction. Some would argue that Jane Austen was England’s finest authoress and it would be hard to argue against. The characters and sweep of the lives of the landed gentry and her grip on social commentary in Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey are true testament to her greatness in a life of only 42 years. But here we present another facet of her talent; her poetry. Often overlooked and admittedly slim but revealing nonetheless. These poems are also available as an audiobook read for you by Ghizela Rowe and can be found at iTunes, Amazon and other digital stores. Index Of Poems; Happy The Lab'rer; I've A Pain In My Head; Miss Lloyd Has Now Went To Miss Green; Mock Panegyric On A Young Friend; My Dearest Frank, I Wish You Joy; Ode To Pity; Of A Ministry Pitiful, Angry, Mean; Oh!

  Finally, in printed form, the poems from Louise's BBC3 commission 'Love is a Battlefield' make a wonderful pamphlet
  The Uniform Factory is modern war poetry marching to it's own syncopated rhythm.
  Anti-war. Pro-soldier. It documents and dreams the after-affects of economic conscription, war in Afghanistan and PTSD. Gallows-humour standing shoulder to shoulder with bitter anger.
  The collection is punctuated by landays- a Pashtun poetic form, traditionally spread woman to woman, changing, rebelling and re-mixing in the telling.
  Written from the perspective of the families left behind in Northern England

  Comic Book Artist and Pop Culture Geek, Dean Rankine doesn't know anything about writing poetry. But a little thing like that isn't going to stop him from writing a poem once a week for a year, putting those poems into a book and sending them out into the universe. 
  "Dean's poetry is like watching someone dragged upside down by a bolting robot horse through a cacti patch. It's exhilarating, you chortle, but then you're flooded with existential dread that we're all gonna die in stupid ways." - Ryan K. Lindsay (Beautiful Canvas, Deer Editor) 
  Narrated by Ben Sorensen 
  Recorded at the studios of BSE Australia for Shooting Star Press.

  Girlhood - Poetry

  Julia Copus

  In her fourth collection, Julia Copus explores the shifting balance of power between dangerous and destructive forces and things on the verge of becoming. Her deft and seductive poems reanimate lost figures and places from private moments and recast them in the open arena of the spoken word.Listening to this collection, one has the sense of encountering a series of filmic installations arranged by episode in a gallery. Censored or disparaged voices speak out from the secluded spaces of a professor's office, a deserted department store; from kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and upstairs windows; the witching hour and the psychiatric ward.The audiobook concludes with a series of meetings between a female patient, Marguerite, and her bullying psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan. But Lacan's domination of his patient is illusory: like other victims in this exciting new collection, she may appear vanquished, but a closer look reveals how little of herself she has really surrendered.

  LibriVox readers present 7 versions of "Men of Harlech" by Talhaiarn. This was the weekly poem for the week of September 23, 2012. 
   
  "Men of Harlech" or "The March of the Men of Harlech" is a song and military march which is traditionally said to describe events during the seven year long siege of Harlech Castle between 1461 and 1468. The music was first published without words in 1794, but it is said to be a much earlier folk air. The song was published in Volume II of the 1862 collection Welsh Melodies with the Welsh lyrics by the Welsh poet John Jones (Talhaiarn). A version translated by John Oxenford was published in "The Songs of Wales" in 1873 with music edited by Brinley Richards. This is the version recorded in this week's poetry project.
