Alongside Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Rimbaud, with whom he had a stormy relationship, Paul Verlaine is one of the most influential poets of the "fin de siècle". He was one of the greatest representatives of the Decadent movement that began in the 1870s, and a leader of the "Symbolists". His stylistic innovations brought a new musicality to French poetry; it was he who paved the way for modern poetry with its experiments in free verse and new techniques.

Paul Valéry est né à Sète le 30 octobre 1871 ; il est mort à Paris le 19 juillet 1945. Essayiste et poète, il est aussi exceptionnel ici que là. C'est un écrivain qui méprise les prestiges faciles de la littérature : l'inconscience bavarde et la satisfaction de parler de soi. Poète, Valéry l'est comme rarement on le fut : froidement. Un poème est pour lui une savante machine verbale plutôt destinée à provoquer une émotion qu'à exposer celle de l'auteur.

The first African American poet to achieve international fame, Paul Laurence Dunbar used his prodigious literary gifts to chronicle and celebrate Black life as he saw it. He utilized both traditional poetic forms and contemporary dialect in a range of styles—lyrical, conversational, and playful—as diverse as his themes. This collection, containing the entirety of Dunbar’s poetry, captures his still vital expressions of love, work, and family. It also serves as a revelatory expression of Dunbar’s frustrations with racial injustice and oppression.

With charging rhythm and clarion language, in 14 stanzas, the poet conjures the dramatic, moving images of the rousing and pivotal ride of the famed patriot. Rhapsode Bob Gonzalez performs this classic.

African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives.

Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Dichter der Spätmittelalters: Francois Villon (1431 - nach 1463). Sein abenteuerliches Leben und die ewig wiederkehrenden Themen von Liebe, Hoffnung, Hass und Tod verarbeitete er in eindrücklichen Balladen, die der deutsche Expressionist Paul Zech übersetzte und teilweise sehr frei nachdichtete. In diesem Hörbuch versammelt ist eine Auswahl von fünfzehn dieser Balladen.

Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) war ein evangelisch-lutherischer Theologe und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Kirchenlieddichter. In evangelischen Gesangbüchern ist er mit seinen Liedern zahlreich vertreten, allerdings sind diese oft stark verkürzt. Darüber hinaus werden im Gottesdienst meist nur einige Strophen gesungen. Beim Singen ist es nicht immer einfach, sich den Sinn des Textes zu vergegenwärtigen. Die Melodie treibt die Singenden vorwärts. Pausen können sie nicht machen, sofern diese nicht durch den Takt vorgegebenen sind. Auch sinngemäße Betonungen sind nicht möglich.

I am a proud father and a family man. A Scotsman. A Londoner. A countryside-townie. A patriot. A rebel and a gentleman. A child of the seventies. A graduate from the school of hard knocks. A cat and dog lover. An aficionado of music and books. I am an outsider. I am a maverick, often outspoken and sometimes controversial. I am a warrior and worrier. An overthinker. I am both a success and a failure. I am intensely prolific.

Apostle Paul was a subversive, whose agenda was preserving the purity of the Gospel passed down from Jesus of Nazareth.

Verlaine n'est pas qu'un musicien du verbe. Il sait nous raconter de petits événements intimes, surgis du souvenir ou bien nous décrire un amour impossible en son exigence.
