The Not Yet Fallen World: New and Selected Poems (eBook, ePUB)
A radiant celebration of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Stephen Dunn's enduring oeuvre. Hailed as "indispensable” (David Wojahn), Stephen Dunn masterfully shifts between the metaphysical and the ironic, never wavering in his essential honesty. His graceful poems confront our contradictions with tenderness and wit, enliven the ordinary with penetrating observation, and alert us to the haunting wonders and relationships that surround us. Drawing from eleven crystalline volumes, The Not Yet Fallen World is arranged to further Dunn's signature themes: mortality, morality, and the roles we play in the essential human comedy of getting through each day. This final collection captures the breadth of an acclaimed poet's achievement, a poetic expanse suffused with fearless generosity and perceptive wisdom. From "The Widening” there's no such thing as a full stop in music—silence is a sound, an afterlife for anyone with an ear.- Shop: buecher

The Yellow Birds , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 320min
An unforgettable depiction of the psychological impact of war by a young Iraq veteran and poet, The Yellow Birds is already being hailed as a modern classic. Everywhere John looks, he sees Murph. He flinches when cars drive past. His fingers clasp around the rifle he hasn't held for months. Wide-eyed strangers praise him as a hero, but he can feel himself disappearing. Back home after a year in Iraq, memories swarm around him: bodies burning in the crisp morning air. Sunlight falling through branches; bullets kicking up dust; ripples on a pond wavering like plucked strings. The promise he made, to a young man's mother, that her son would be brought home safely.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Holter Graham.

Rudyard Kipling , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1775min
This gripping biography mixes intimate detail with a thorough understanding of the social, intellectual, artistic, and political climate of the time to unravel the intricate story of the misunderstood genius who wrote Kim, the Jungle Books, and the poem "If." Growing up in both England and India, this descendant of a high-achieving family crossed India's established divide between ruler and subject as he explored the urban underworld and dabbled with opium. Recently discovered letters shed light on Kipling's most intimate relationships and help explain how India influenced his personal, political, and literary development. Later, suffering from marital stress, the deaths of his son and daughter, and a wavering sanity, only iron self-control and love of the English countryside enable him to transmute his sadness and growing disillusion into his crystalline late short stories, which are gaining new appreciation today. ungekürzt.

In 2004, 27-year-old Stephanie Saldaña traveled to Damascus, Syria, on a Fulbright fellowship to study the role of the prophet Jesus in Islam. She was also fleeing a broken heart. It was not an ideal time to be an American in the Middle East—the United States had recently invaded Iraq, refugees were flooding into Damascus, and dark rumors swirled that Syria might be next to come under American attack. Miserable and lonely, Stephanie left Damascus to visit an ancient Christian monastery carved into the desert cliffs. In that Beautiful, austere setting, she confronted her wavering faith and met Frédéric, a young French novice monk. As they set out to explore the mysteries entwining Christianity and Islam, Stephanie slowly realized that she had found God again—and that she was in love with Frédéric. But would Frédéric choose God or Stephanie? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Campbell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/003659/bk_blak_003659_sample.mp3.
