This is perhaps one of the best-loved of all journals. William Wordsworth's sister, Dorothy, began it in May 1800 and resolved to keep it for a short time. She continued it for nearly three years. In it, she brought the Dove Cottage years to vivid and intimate life. She noted the walks and weather, the friends, country neighbours, and travellers on the roads. She set down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, and the composition of Wordsworth's poetry.

Taken from writings, orations, and recorded observations of life, this audiobook selects the best of Native American wisdom and distills it to its essence in short, digestible quotes - perhaps even more timely now than when they were first written.

Where would you go to rest and retreat, in good times and bad?Katherine May, author of Wintering and Enchantment, asks her guests to share their idea of a perfect sanctuary. Drawing on memory, inspiration and imagination, she explores the things we seek out when we need to restore our joy, hope and energy. It begins with a forest clearing. What will we find there?

Magic realism is recognisable in orality and written forms of storytelling from many eras and localities around the globe. However, magic realism in literature continues to be misunderstood by readers, listeners, writers, critics, and workers in literature, publishing, and literary education sectors. Magic realism is a narrative technique and not a genre and can be applied to many types of realist literature, but it is most commonly found within literary fiction. Magic realism is not fantasy fiction, as it is grounded by real-world settings, with realistic plots and authentic characters.

Banda poetica, podcast di letture poetiche a cadenza mensile diretto da Davide Borowski

A foundational essay on the psychology of horror in literature, featuring eleven period illustrations. In 1773, siblings John Aikin and Anna Laetitia Barbauld wanted to know why we take such pleasure in being terrified. We joyfully consume tales of ghosts, murders, earthquakes, and shipwrecks...but it's difficult to tell why tragedy attracts onlookers even though people think of themselves as decent humans who would never enjoy the terror and suffering of others. Why do we love spooky? Listen and learn.
