Today Byron is regarded as the ultimate romantic - a rebel, a Casanova, and a man of intense, brooding passion. He was the most famous literary man of his time, and his poetry, endlessly witty and often insightful, was immensely popular and hugely influential. From the delicate romanticism of "She Walks in Beauty" to the evocative reflections of "So We’ll Go No More a Roving", Byron’s poems were unrivaled in their power and potency. 

Il grande poema epico pubblicato nel 1581, fu in realtà iniziato a comporre quando il Tasso aveva 15 anni, nel 1559. Rivide poi il poema in seguito, dando luogo ad un altro poema: la "Gerusalemme conquistata". Questo tema lo accompagnò dunque per tutta la sua vita.

Ovid's sensuous and witty poem brings together a dazzling array of mythological tales, ingeniously linked by the idea of transformation, often as a result of love or lust, in which men and women find themselves magically changed into new and sometimes extraordinary beings. Beginning with the creation of the world and ending with the deification of Augustus, Ovid interweaves many of the best known myths and legends of ancient Greece and Rome.

Elliott Gould, Burt Reynolds, Meryl Streep, and a host of other celebrities read over 100 poems by four of America's greatest poets. Walt Whitman celebrates the brash and rugged individualism of his country in exuberant language. The spare, precise language of Emily Dickinson conveys her penetrating vision of the natural world and an acute understanding of the most profound human truths.

"Pude seguir adelante, "dejar todo en manos de Dios", como dicen. Y cuando lo hice, las ventanas y las puertas se abrieron de par en par. La luz entró a raudales, una luz que ahuyentó al miedo y eliminó la ira. Lo solté, en verdad lo solté, y fui libre [...] la elección fue mía. Podía elegir perdonar o no. Perdoné porque me habían perdonado. Y cuando perdoné llegó la liberación". -"La señal".

Why a Poetry Album? Easy answer: I love poetry. I love reading it. I love memorizing it. I love hearing great actors recite it. As the poet Mark Strand wrote, “Ink runs from the corners of my mouth / There is no happiness like mine / I have been eating poetry.” In the past, when I was full from eating, I have had the audacity to set poetry to music. But, on this audiobook, you will hear the music of the poems.

La plupart de ces poèmes ont été écrits entre 1846 et 1855. Mais les poèmes les plus anciens de ce recueil datent de 1834. Les 11 000 vers des "Contemplations" comptent parmi les plus beaux poèmes de la poésie française. Victor Hugo y est à l'apogée de son art poétique.

Grande capolavoro rinascimentale tutto incentrato sulle vicende della prima Crociata, la Gerusalemme Liberata rappresenta di fatto una epopea Cristiana. Le avventure guerresche si intrecciano continuamente con passioni amorose, magie, nobili gesta, avventure, fughe, inseguimenti. Il Tasso attribuisce all'amore un ruolo centrale, in forte contrasto con il tema guerresco e religioso, intrecciando così conflitti epici e amorosi, motivi religiosi ed intenzioni profane, facendone un dramma Cristiano sempre in bilico tra peccato e redenzione.

The lyrical ballad The Lady of Shalott is one of Tennyson's best-known and best-loved poems. It is based on the story of Elaine of Astolat, a figure from Arthurian legend, who dies from her unrequited love for Sir Lancelot. The subject matter provided inspiration for many of the Pre-Raphaelite painters. Tennyson published two versions of the poem, both of which are included in this recording. The first was written in 1832, and the second—the better-known of the two versions—in 1842.

Ceci est un enregistrement exceptionnel avec la voix d'Antonin Artaud. "Pour en finir avec le jugement de dieu", est une création radiophonique du poète français Antonin Artaud. Les textes étaient lus par Maria Casarès, Roger Blin, Paule Thévenin et l'auteur. L'accompagnement était composé de cris, de battements de tambour et de xylophone enregistrés par l'auteur lui-même. Figure emblématique de l'artiste incompris, l'œuvre d'Antonin Artaud vise un absolu qui n'a convaincu que très peu de personnes de son vivant.

Ich schreibe, weil keiner mehr zuhört... Menschen reden nur noch aneinander vorbei. Sehen sich nicht mehr. Kein Platz für Romantik. Kein Platz für tiefe Gedanken. Alles ist gestellt. Alles auf der Überholspur in die Bedeutungslosigkeit. Niemand nimmt sich Zeit für die kleinen Dinge. Niemand lauscht mehr dem Regen in der Nacht. Höher, schneller, weiter und ignoriert das Blut an den Händen. Was hätte aus uns allen werden können? Vereint für eine gute Welt. Doch der Schein des Glänzenden hat das wahre Glück ersetzt.

With Muse of Fire, Michael Korda, the bestselling author of Alone and Hero, takes a novel approach to World War I by telling its history through the lives of the soldier-poets whose verses memorialize the war's unimaginable horrors. He begins with Rupert Brooke and the halcyon days before violence engulfed his generation—destroying the self-contented world of Edwardian England—and ends with the tragic death of Wilfred Owen, killed only days before the armistice brought an end to a war that took over 25,000,000 lives.

Ryokan (1758–1831) is, along with Dogen and Hakuin, one of the three giants of Zen in Japan. But unlike his two renowned colleagues, Ryokan was a societal dropout, living mostly as a hermit and a beggar. He was never head of a monastery or temple. He liked playing with children. He had no dharma heir. Even so, people recognized the depth of his realization, and he was sought out by people of all walks of life for the teaching to be experienced in just being around him.

Humanitarian, entrepreneur, and content creator Connor Franta first captivated listeners with A Work in Progress, ruminating on his Midwestern roots to his early start as a visionary and online thought-leader. He continued his soul-searching-through-a-broken-heart with Note to Self, challenging listeners - and himself - to ponder the spectrum of humanity and their place within it. Now as Franta approaches 30, life is no less confusing, but he finds this journey endlessly fascinating.
