In 2008, 21-year-old Lady Unchained got involved in a fight in a club while trying to protect her sister. Serving 11 months of her prison sentence, her life changed completely. Inside, Lady Unchained began to write, while battling isolation, loneliness and the fear of being wrongly deported. These notes became powerful bars of poetry, capturing first-hand the broken justice system and the racism rooted within it.

Good things never happen in November—at least not for the Reynolds women. It was the month they lost their patriarch. And the month when fourteen-year-old Trinity went missing during a tropical storm. So Hope Reynolds isn’t surprised when it becomes the month she walks in on her boyfriend kissing another woman. Or when she receives a panicked call from her mother about a mistake that could cost the family their treasured beach house.

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.

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.

Life can get messy before it gets better. Here are some of my favorite poems that take the listener through the depths of Hell to come out on the other side smiling. The only way out of misery is with the help of God. This book was written in a very difficult time of my life, and these are the scriptures that helped me through. Let his words stick, and let mine roll off of your back like water droplets down a duck's back.

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.

There is no money in poetry, but then there is no poetry in money, either. We are not running after money here, as we are rather hungry for good poetry. And this is, once again, an opportunity for us to satisfy our hunger with Zakir’s poetic world. Those who read his poetry know that his poetic world is rich, and significantly original.

Peter Coyote’s first collection of poetry takes us on a whirlwind tour of an eclectic and exciting life as an actor and Zen Buddhist priest, meandering from love affairs to marriage to divorce to the '60s to psychedelic spirituality and beyond. Written over several decades, these poems sound like a collage, each piece distinct and contributing to a cohesive lyric narrative.

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!
