  In recent years, our poetic landscape has evolved in profound and exciting ways. So has our planet. Edited and introduced by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón, this book challenges what we think we know about "nature poetry," illuminating the myriad ways our landscapes—both literal and literary—are changing. 
   
   
   
  You Are Here features fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more. Each poem engages with its author's local landscape—be it the breathtaking variety of flora in a national park, or a lone tree flowering persistently by a bus stop—offering an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us and a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States. 
   
   
   
  Joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, this singular collection of poems offers a lyrical reimagining of what "nature" and "poetry" are today, inviting listeners to experience both anew.

  "Agamemnon" is the first of the three linked tragedies which make up "The Oresteia" trilogy by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus. Trilogy as a whole, originally performed at the annual Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE, where it won first prize, is considered to be Aeschylus' last authenticated, and also his greatest, work.
  "Agamemnon" describes the homecoming of Agamemnon, king of Argos, from the Trojan War, and his return to his wife, Clytemnestra, who had been planning his murder (in concert with her lover, Aegisthus) as revenge for Agamemnon's earlier sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia.

  KURBAS – The Audio Drama is an immersive international audio drama exploring the legacy and artistic vision of Les Kurbas, one of the most radical innovators of 20th-century European theatre. Set during his imprisonment in a Soviet labor camp, the drama unfolds in the shadow of Kurbas’s approaching tragic fate while reflecting on broader questions of freedom, memory, and the role of art in times of political oppression. Blending historical research with poetic storytelling, KURBAS unfolds through powerful dialogues, rich sound design, and original music that functions as a narrative force, creating an experience that sits between audio drama, musical, and documentary. Recorded largely in Kyiv in 2025 under extraordinary circumstances, it carries the resonance of voices shaped by history, resilience, and artistic resistance. Performed by an international cast and created by a multidisciplinary creative team, KURBAS – The Audio Drama is a one-of-a-kind listening experience: cinematic, emotional, and deeply human. 
  Written by Kateryna Onykiichuk, Directed and Produced by Jenny Gherpelli. Music: Vakthang Kantaria, Sound Design: Odhrán O'Brien. With Alina Fabri.

  I traveled the dirt road with no water in sight. 
  My lips parched and dry from the burning sun. 
  My feet cracked and rough, cut with sharp stones. 
  I had traveled this road many times. 
  I knew the trail, yet somehow this time 
  it seemed unfamiliar; 
  All around was desolation, bareness, and emptiness. 
  I was tired of the heat; I cried out to God 
  "Father please come rescue me." 
  He said, "I am right here." 
  He was just waiting for me to ask for help. 
  He gave me water for my thirst, 
  Food for my hungry soul, and he walked on with me. 
  I trust him more now, 
  I know I will never pass this way again.
