These poems pause for the spectacle - cloning technologies, super-slo-mo photography, narcotic cab rides - to describe a system of tripwires, pitfalls, and decoys that the notion of daily viewership entails. These poems are paeans to our facility for duplicity and self-deception, in which the act of living is like a movie we're not in.

In this haiku love poems audiobook, I am delivering an underlying message that is not only about romance and romantic love, but even more, about the sacred feelings, perceptions and sophisticated moods that deeper love creates, when the partners are very much in love with each other. The audiobook itself is created in such a way, that it sets an almost meditative mood, where you can dwell in its simple message and its wonderful verses. Written in the spiritually-inspired Rumi style, you can easily contemplate this out-of-this-world atmosphere.

In Customs, Solmaz Sharif examines what it means to exist in the nowhere of the arrivals terminal, a continual series of checkpoints, officers, searches, and questionings that become a relentless experience of America. With resignation and austerity, these poems trace a pointed indoctrination to the customs of the nation-state and the English language, and the realities they impose upon the imagination, the paces they put us through.

Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives.

Tom Stodulka has loved to write for many years, though as a child he found this form of expression was a struggle. As the years progressed, through high school and law school, Stodulka gained an appreciation of language and how it could be used as a tool for making a difference. His confidence grew enough to write diaries of his life in the Navy and eventually in 1976, on board the HMAS Duchess, he wrote his first poem, The World and the Future, which features in his first publication, Storm Clouds and Silver Linings; My Journey.

Dean Browne arrives at the After Party with the maturity and style of an altogether more seasoned poet. In a debut collection of standout and stand-alone poems, each tests the boundaries of its unique universe. Browne is a mesmeric teller of strange tales, imaginings that can seem origamically contained within the compressed dimensions of a poem. A leg sets off on a long train journey; a Parisian alley cat is launched into space; earthbound lovers attempt to connect while their inner lives prove unbridgeable.

Spoon River Anthology is a collection of poems that describe life - and death - in a small town. Each poem is a monologue delivered by a resident of Spoon River, describing events in their lives, and the circumstances that led to their occasionally untimely end. Edgar Lee Masters wrote this theatrical masterpiece to highlight the typical small town. The fascinating characters and realistic imagery make it easy to see why this is an American classic.

There have been many translators of Chinese literature and poetry over time, but Arthur Waley stands out as one of the best known and most loved. This is perhaps because he had an attribute that most others lacked, which is his poetic abilities. Waley was as much a poet himself as a translator, and while his scholarly erudition was matched by a few others at his time, none ever managed to bring out the true character of Chinese poetry quite so well.

El corsario es, ante todo, un poema autobiográfico que narra las aventuras de un tal Conrad, un corsario rechazado por la sociedad -no así por las mujeres- debido a su comportamiento escandaloso. El poema inmediatamente atrajo la atención del público debido a la personalidad arrasadora de Byron, incluso algunos adeptos a la estadística afirman que se llegaron a vender diez mil copias durante su primer día en la calle.

Acrobata é um livro de poemas que pode ser lido como um romance. Ao trazer a experiência da vida para a escrita, os versos descrevem momentos marcados pela mudança — como o nascimento de um filho, a morte de alguém próximo e a adaptação a uma nova cidade.

Um poema puxa o outro em surpreendentes trocas de assuntos, cenas e situações.

"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is a late 14th-century chivalric romance in Middle English. The author is unknown; the title was given centuries later. It is one of the best-known Arthurian stories, with its plot combining two types of folk motifs: the beheading game, and the exchange of winnings. Written in stanzas of alliterative verse, each of which ends in a rhyming bob and wheel; it draws on Welsh, Irish, and English stories, as well as the French chivalric tradition.

Was wäre, wenn die kleinsten Teilchen der Welt, die unsichtbaren Bausteine des Lebens zu uns sprechen könnten? Was hört man, wenn man ihr Wachsen zu körnigen Konstellationen und ihren Zerfall bis hin zur atomaren Spaltung literarisch umkreist? Dieser Frage geht Carolin Callies in ihrem Poem nach. In einer lyrischen Versuchsanordnung blickt sie statt durchs Mikroskop mit den Instrumenten der Sprache auf Einzeller, Kerne, Spreißel und erkundet ihre vielfältigen Verbindungen im menschlichen Körper wie in der Natur.

“You were supposed to find God here / the signs said.” In these poems, hinterlands demand our close attention; overlooked places of industry become sites for pilgrimage; and history large and small—of a city, of a family, of a shirt—is unearthed.
