Poetry

Prepare yourself to shudder and ponder in the dark and haunting world of Edgar Allan Poe, the undisputed master of psychological horror and Gothic tales. In these tales, madness lurks beneath the surface of reason, guilt drives men to destruction, and death casts its shadow over every page.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." Rumi wrote that eight hundred years ago. People still whisper it to themselves in hospital waiting rooms, on park benches after arguments, at 2am when sleep won't come. His words keep finding the people who need them, the way a song finds you when you need it. If a line of his has ever stopped you mid-breath, then Rumi has already begun his work in you. This collection is where you go to hear the rest. Twenty hours. His complete major works.

Victor Hugo's poetry moves effortlessly between grief and wonder, revolution and tenderness. This carefully selected collection gathers some of his most powerful and intimate works — from the haunting sorrow of Tomorrow at Dawn and After the Battle to the luminous beauty of Sunset and The Grave and the Rose. Rich with emotion, humanity, and unforgettable imagery, these poems reveal Hugo not only as one of France's greatest writers, but as a poet deeply attuned to love, loss, memory, and hope.

What if Shakespeare understood you better than you understand yourself? In Shakespeare’s Heartbeat, actor Sofia Barclay examines 40 of Shakespeare’s most powerful sonnets as emotional guideposts for modern life. Blending personal insight with timeless poetry, she transforms these works into everyday tools for navigating love, heartbreak, desire and uncertainty.

Gracefully Unhinged is a fiercely intimate poetry collection for the women who have survived heartbreak with mascara running, sarcasm intact, and their hands still shaking around the pen. In these pages, Kerry Warren turns longing into lyric, grief into beauty, and emotional collapse into something almost glamorous. With equal parts devastation and wit, she writes of love, devotion, distance, Maine fog, feminine rage, dark humor, survival, and the beautiful absurdity of remaining deeply, inconveniently human in a world that rewards stone.

What happens when the life you built collapses in an instant? Alice had it all —a successful career as a PA, two children, her love story with her husband, an ER doctor. But beneath the surface of their city life, pressure mounted, connection frayed, and her husband, lost in the grind, made a final, devastating choice. Alice was left behind —shattered, alone, and drowning in grief. The Art of Soft Landing is not just a story of loss —it’s a journey of rebirth.

Love is a journey and a choice, entwined with heartbreak, tenderness, envy, and vulnerability. For decades, deep affection and intimacy seem to be manipulated, denied, accepted, craved, endorsed, and much more. Kaleidoscope was created to narrate the multitude of love in all its facets. It depicts love when it's all sunshine and rainbows, as well as when it has gone down a rabbit hole with no light in sight, just darkness. Just like chiaroscuro is used to describe paintings, Kaleidoscope does the same about love. Not everyone's experience of love equates quite the same.

Songs that blow the mind.

Our Lady of the Intersection is a recitation of two interspersed parallel texts (one being a semi-fictional memoir and the other being brief lectures and meditations about the palm trees of Los Angeles-and the texts' relationship to each other becomes clear by the end) set to original music and sounds throughout, a sort of narrated modern tone poem.

Survivor Issues–Issue 3: A Poem for the Silent is a stream-of-consciousness poetic reflection that gives voice to the emotional reality of surviving trauma, abuse, and silence. Spoken in a raw, improvisational flow, this piece moves through themes of domestic violence, sexual assault, fear, faith, resilience, and the long road toward healing. It captures the internal dialogue of someone processing pain while still searching for strength, truth, and survival.

Inspired by the rhythm of Harlem nights, The Weary Blues is a landmark collection of poetry that captures the beauty, sorrow, and resilience of Black life in America. Blending jazz rhythms with vivid storytelling, these poems pulse with longing, pride, and the search for freedom — as powerful and relevant today as when they were first published. Langston Hughes was one of the leading voices of the Harlem Renaissance. Known for his lyrical poetry and deep celebration of Black culture, he transformed American literature with works that spoke honestly about identity, injustice, music, and hope.

My Mind My Hand Writes is a deeply personal collection of over 137 poems written over the course of forty years. In this volume, I share the reflections, questions, and truths that have lived within me—from the streets of New Orleans to the mountains of New Mexico, the retreats of upstate New York, the deserts of Utah, and across oceans to South Korea, New Zealand, and India. This is not just a book of poetry—it is a life's journey set to verse. The very first poem I wrote was inspired by my daughter, Asha Iman McAfee, whose radiant spirit lives in every part of this book.

Escritos para o segundo volume da revista "Orpheu", os dois textos agrupados sob o título "Poemas sem suporte" ficaram notabilizados pelo volume de reações causadas à época de sua publicação, sobretudo por sua ousadia formal. Caminhando do simbolismo ao futurismo, "Elegia" e "Manicure" dialogam abertamente com Fernando Pessoa sob o pseudônimo Álvaro de Campos.

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. På glasbrukets golv mäts tiden i värme, buller och utslitna kroppar. I skärningspunkten mellan fabriksgolvet och ateljén rör sig dikterna i Glaslunga. Här finns skiftgången, dammet, de tidiga morgnarna och den långsamma förvandlingen av tid...

I have spent years in yoga classes being told to notice my breath, stand on one leg, fold forwards and occasionally attempt positions that looked considerably easier when demonstrated by somebody else. Over time I became interested in the thoughts that seemed to accompany these movements. Not grand spiritual insights. More the small observations that appear when the phone is elsewhere and there is nothing much to do except breathe, wobble and pay attention. Each poem begins with a posture, movement or sensation from yoga and drifts into something wider.

Theodore Huebner Roethke (May 25, 1908 to August 1, 1963), born in Saginaw, Michigan, is regarded as one of America's most accomplished and influential poets, having won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1954 for his book The Waking, and the annual National Book Award for Poetry on two occasions. His work is characterized by a willingness to engage deeply with multifaceted introspection, and his style was overtly rhythmic, with skillful use of natural imagery.

Junie Bounderby is a self-made man. Junie Bounderby has nobody to thank but himself. Junie Bounderby deserves his share of the family fortune. Screw all the doubters and naysayers! Screw his family most of all! With biting and unflinching honesty, this darkly comedic novel dissects American entitlement, the myths we tell ourselves, and the price of refusing to see the truth.

Considerada a obra-prima de Fernando Pessoa, um dos maiores poetas não apenas de Portugal, mas da língua portuguesa, "Mensagem" é um livro de cunho marcadamente nacionalista, patriótico mesmo. Envoltos em misticismo, seus 44 poemas, cada um deles uma obra de arte digna de profunda admiração, perpassam a história de Portugal, sobretudo sua formação, manifestando a vontade do poeta de ver Portugal reverter a decadência que então vivia.
