Victoria Adukwei Bulley's debut collection, Quiet, circles around ideas of Black interiority, intimacy and selfhood, playing at the the tensions between the impulse to guard one's 'inner life' and the knowledge that, as Audre Lorde writes, 'your silence will not protect you'. The poems teem with grace and dignity, are artful in their shapes, sharp in their intelligence and possessing of a good ear, finely attuned to the sonics that fascinate and motivate the writing 'at the lower end of sound'.

The Fabric Of a Heart is a reflection of everyone's love story, and will resonate with all ages through its powerful verses. In part a love letter, The Fabric of a Heart enchants listeners, by both celebrating and admonishing love, through exploring the joy, wonder, and struggles of love, and delving into the agony of heartbreak. The poetry is provocative, solicitous, and exquisitely curated to keep every listener engaged.

El amor algunas veces es tan complicado como impredecible. Pero al final lo que más valoramos son los detalles más simples, los más bonitos, los que llegan sin avisar. Y a la hora de escribir sobre sentimientos, no hay nada más limpio que hacerlo desde el corazón. Y eso hace Defreds en "Casi sin querer".

Instantes. La realidad que nos rodea puede capturarse en miles, en millones de Instantes. Unos nos hacen rozar las estrellas con la punta de los dedos, otros, tragar el lodo más amargo de la soledad. Como en un juego sin reglas, se gana atreviéndose a perderse. Cada uno de los poemas que vas a leer son pedacitos de tiempo que marcaron a fuego mi vida. Ahora también son tuyos. Hazme un favor: guárdalos y protégelos contra el frío, que ellos te abrigarán cuando más lo necesites. Porque se trata simplemente de dejarse llevar por un Instante.

Aquí tienes tu propio diccionario de emociones, lleno de sentimientos atemporales para los que buscan calmar sus miedos. En estas páginas encontrarás la esperanza de lo que anhelamos, los errores en los que caemos, el deseo que nos impulsa a un nuevo acierto y el amor que nos mantiene vivos. La vida que pasa, los tiempos que marcan, las huellas que quedan, el corazón que se fue. Crear, es hacerte inmortal. Por eso le escribe a la vida. Para que no muera nunca. ¿Te vienes con ella?

Translating as 'initiation', kumukanda is the name given to the rites a young boy from the Luvale tribe must pass through before he is considered a man. The poems of Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable debut explore this passage: between two worlds, ancestral and contemporary, between the living and the dead, between the gulf of who he is and how he is perceived. Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once.

An Engineer's Book of Poetry describes the struggle and strife of an undergraduate engineering student, trying to build beautiful things in a burnt-up world. This book was inspired by the mean, old, engineering professors who taught me the dynamics of fluids, the heat of thermodynamics, and the mechanics of machines. It is derived from real-world situations, and kind TAs who helped me pass classes. The road from wanting to be an engineer to becoming one is long; this audiobook describes my incomplete journey. It is both advice, warning, and motivation for young engineers.

Todo lo que creías, ahora es duda. Todo en lo que confiabas, polvo. Se acabó. ¿Cuánto tiempo podemos fingir que lo tenemos todo bajo control antes de que se destroce en añicos? Cerré los ojos. Me sequé cuidadosamente el lagrimal. No iba a ser cosa de un día. Pero en todo camino hay un día uno.

In dieser Reise durch die Nacht erscheint diese nicht als angsteinflößend, sondern als Zeit der Möglichkeiten: für das Treffen von Liebenden, für das Magische, für all das, was vor dem harschen Licht des Tages zurückschreckt. Im Dunkel rücken Himmel und Erde, Mystik und Alltag, Götter und Menschen auf einmal viel näher... Wo die Aufklärung nach Klarheit und Deutlichkeit strebte, zeigt dieser sechsteilige Gedichtzyklus die vollkommen entgegengesetzten Ideale der Frühromantik: Sie schwelgt im Zwielicht des Unbekannten und verehrt die Anziehungskraft des Unergründlichen.

It is as elusive as a dream, like the changes of the season. Poetry isn’t always what it seems. It can be a way to vent, an escape from reality, when nothing makes sense. Why I write poetry, is to right a wrong, for racial equality, not for some, but for all. One voice, one people, joined by grace, poetry is the rhyme and reason, defining the human race. Listen to this this powerful audiobook, for more words!

Just when one thinks life's fleeting moments - from the mundane to the surreal - often have no words, Bailey shows what can be gleaned from the indifference, pain, and pleasure, which can yield lessons that transcend the incident which provoked the intimate reflection.
