"Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a fascinating portrait of nineteenth-century Europe - disillusioned and ravaged by the wars of the post-revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. Our protagonist, whose breathtaking journey eerily echoes Byron's own life story, forgoes his destiny back home for the exciting unknown - the nature of humanity and the transformative effects of travel burst through the pages in four powerful cantos of Spenserian stanzas. Here is the poem that set Byron on his meteoric rise to fame in London society."

"A série de audiolivros Fernando Pessoa 4 X 4 registrou em áudio os poemas de Fernando Pessoa, ele mesmo, e seus três principais heterônimos com quatro atores diferentes. Para gravar os escritos de Fernando Pessoa, ele mesmo, convidamos o ator Hélio Cícero, que trouxe para o estúdio toda sua afinidade com a obra do poeta português. Em 2009, quando fez as gravações, Hélio Cícero já trazia na bagagem várias temporadas de apresentação da peça O Fingidor, que mostra Fernando Pessoa em seus últimos dias de vida, quando se candidata disfarçado a uma vaga de datilógrafo, oferecida por um crítico literário, profundo conhecedor de sua obra.

"Com a missão de trazer a literatura para mais próximo da periferia, o escritor Ferréz mais uma vez aposta na palavra como ferramenta. E, para seu primeiro audiolivro, convidou um time de peso para recitar seus textos e poesias, como Zeca Baleiro, que lê a inédita Vendo verdades, e o poeta de Brasília Gog, que recita O menino Periferia, com Refrão de Higo Melo.
Já o novo romance do autor, Deus foi almoçar, vem na voz do poeta Allan da Rosa, e outros textos, como A maldição da refinaria, A arma e A pomba branca, são recitados pelo próprio autor.
O grupo de rap paulistano Facção Central vem lendo o Posfácio Capão Pecado e o CD ainda conta na produção da poesia Foi num sebo velho com DJ Dri.
Com capa exclusiva, feita especialmente para o álbum, o artista João Machado mostra seu talento esculpindo um livro."
"Barbara Wittmann und Detlef Bierstedt interpretieren schrille Gedichte und einen grotesken Prosatext des großen Frühexpressionisten Alfred Lichtenstein: Es sind Porträts von Trinkern, grauen Clowns, Irren, Huren und Rummelplatzgestalten, von himmelblauen Exzentrikern, unschuldigen Kindern, parfümierten Pudeln und 'eigen schauenden Frauen', von verrückten Literaten, Bürokraten und geschundene Rekruten. Den buckligen Dichter Kuno Kohn, ein Alter Ego Lichtensteins, treffen wir im 'Café Klößchen' und erleben mit ihm eine sehr seltsame Liebesgeschichte.
Alle Texte Lichtensteins summieren sich zu einem bizarren Bild der magisch beleuchteten Stadtlandschaft Berlins.
Am Ende steht der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges und die frühen lyrischen Todesahnungen des Dichters werden plötzlich grausamste Realität.
Musikalisch eingefaßt in expressive Klangbilder wurde dieses Hörbuch von zwei der kraftvollsten und farbenreichsten Instrumentalisten der internationalen Jazzszene: Aki Takase und Michael Griener."
"We watch as the cartographer, used to assuming control over a place by mapping it (‘I never get involved / with the muddy affairs of land’), is gradually compelled to recognise a wholly different understanding of place, as he tries to map his way to the rastaman’s eternal city of Zion. As the book unfolds the cartographer learns that, on this island of roads that ‘constrict like throats’, every place-name comes freighted with history, and not every place that can be named can be found."
"Das dichterische Hauptwerk Baudelaires handelt vom Großstadtmenschen und dessen Ennui, einer mit Widerwillen, Unlust und Verdruss verbundenen Entfremdung gegenüber dem Dasein."
"Für Voltaire genoss Dante den höchsten Ruhm, den man als Dichter überhaupt erklimmen konnte. Dieser war nämlich berühmt, ohne das man ihn großartig gelesen hätte. Dantes 'Göttliche Komödie' ist in den Schatz der Menschheit mehr oder weniger durch Hörensagen eingegangen. Immerhin haben sich zahlreiche Deutsche an eine Übersetzung gewagt, wobei Stefan George als Expressionist das größte Risiko auf sich genommen hat. Mittlerweile ist zwar der Expressionismus aus der Mode gekommen, aber auf der Sprechbühne zeitigt er immer noch eine gewaltige emotionale Wirkung. Vorausgesetzt, dass der Schauspieler genügend Mittel hat, den Text zu bewältigen. Mit Dirk Glodde, der derzeit am Theater Basel engagiert ist, hat Stefan George jenen Interpreten gefunden, der seine Dichtung ins 21. Jahrhundert hinüber rettet. 'Die Kunst des Sprechens nämlich', schrieb Ossip Mandelstam, 'entstellt unser Gesicht, zerreißt seine Ruhe, zerstört seine Maske.'
VORREDE DER ERSTEN AUFLAGE
Der verfasser dieser übertragungen dachte nie an einen vollständigen umguss der Göttlichen Komödie: dazu hält er ein menschliches wirkungsleben kaum für ausreichend. Stellen (episoden) zu geben sieht er sich dadurch berechtigt dass auf diesem weg · nicht mit dem ersten gesang beginnend und dem lezten aufhörend · ihm wie vielen das eindringen gelang - und später der trieb zur arbeit kam. Er weiss dass das ungeheure welt- staats- und kirchengebäude nur aus dem ganzen werk begriffen wird. Was er aber fruchtbar zu machen glaubt ist das dichterische · ton bewegung gestalt: alles wodurch Dante für jedes in betracht kommende volk (mithin auch für uns) am anfang aller Neuen Dichtung steht."
"‘The title is Search Party – the idea being that we’re all out here looking for something, and my poems are my way of finding myself.’
A young black poet blending spoken word and rap; an inner city upbringing with a Cambridge education; a social consciousness with a satirical wit and infectious rhythm – George The Poet is the voice of a new generation.
Search Party is a thought-provoking and deeply autobiographical collection. From the overtly political ‘Go Home’ to the deeply personal ‘Full-time’; the narrative poems that offer vivid and unapologetic snapshots of inner-city life, such as ‘His Mistakes’, ‘Believer’ and the anthemic ‘My City’; to the provocative social commentary in ‘Lazy Dog’ and ‘YOLO’; to the inspiring, idea-driven pieces such as ‘The Power of Collaboration’ and ‘School Blues’, George takes poetry into new territories and to new audiences, offering a different way to talk about the things that matter, to explore his own experience and ideas, and encourage others explore theirs.
George The Poet’s mesmerising and unforgettable live performances have earned him critical acclaim. From sell-out headline gigs and YouTube hits, to recording his own music, and now his first collection of poetry, George uses his work to speak truth to power and challenge our preconceived ideas about the society we’re living in.
Whether you’re searching for yourself, for answers, for change – join the search party.
Performed by George the Poet."
"John McCrae, physician, soldier, and poet, died in France a Lieutenant-Colonel with the Canadian forces. The poem which gives this collection of his lovely verse its name has been extensively reprinted, and received with unusual enthusiasm. The volume contains, as well, a striking essay in character by his friend, Sir Andrew MacPhail. - Summary by from the Preface"
"This is a volume of poems by Amy Lowell, published in 1914. "Against the multitudinous array of daily verse our times produce this volume utters itself with a range and brilliancy wholly remarkable. I cannot see that Miss Lowell's use of unrhymed 'vers libre' has been surpassed in English. Read 'The Captured Goddess', 'Music', and 'The Precinct. Rochester', a piece of mastercraft in this kind. A wealth of subtleties and sympathies, gorgeously wrought, full of macabre effects (as many of the poems are) and brilliantly worked out. The things of splendor she has made she will hardly outdo in their kind." (Josephine Preston Peabody, 'The Boston Herald', 1916)"
"An early figure in the birth of poetry in industrial Manchester, Ann Hawkshaw published three collections and another was circulated privately. Her first collection. published in Manchester and London in 1842, begins with an epic poem, Dionysius the Areopagite. Based on the New Testament story of the conversion of Dionysius by St Paul, much of the poem centres on the consequences of Dionysius' conversion for his betrothed, Myra, and her sister, Corrina. The collection also includes two of Hawkshaw's most important works, The Past and The Future, and a number of shorter poems on themes of history, loss and faith. (Summary by Phil Benson)"
