Una de las obras más célebres del poeta Pablo Neruda. "Me gusta cuando callas porque estás como ausente. Distante y dolorosa como si hubieras muerto. Una palabra entonces, una sonrisa bastan. Y estoy alegre, alegre de que no sea cierto." Reseña: "Neruda significa un hombre nuevo en la América, una sensibilidad con la cual abre todo capítulo emocional americano. Su alta categoría arranca de su rotunda diferenciación." Gabriela Mistral

'I have meditated repeatedly on what it was about Finn that had me so dismantled.' A young woman moves from the countryside to the city. Inexplicably, inexorably and immediately, she falls in love with another woman for the first time in her life. Finn is 19 years older than her, wears men's clothes, has a cocky smirk of a smile - and a long-term girlfriend. With precision, wit and tenderness, Women charts the frenzy and the fall out of love.

Vulnerable, tender, acute, these are serious poems, brave poems, exploring with honesty the ambiguous moment between the rapture of youth and the grace of acceptance. A daughter tends to aging parents. A woman struggles with infertility—“What if, instead of carrying / a child, I am supposed to carry grief?”—and a body seized by pain and vertigo as well as ecstasy. A nation convulses: “Every song of this country / has an unsung third stanza, something brutal.” And still Limón shows us, as ever, the persistence of hunger, love, and joy, the dizzying fullness of our too-short lives.

Francesco Petrarch’s Canzoniere (translated in English as ‘Scattered Rhymes’) is a collection of 14th century poems famed for their exploration of love, grief, spirituality and nature.

With A Year of Last Things, acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje returns to poetry, where he began his career over fifty years ago, and what a return it is. Born in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived here since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world – describing himself as a “mongrel,” someone born out of diverse cultures.

The Rose That Blooms in the Night is a collection of poems from spoken word poet, yoga instructor, podcaster, and Instagram influencer Allie Michelle. The collection is meant to be a mirror reflecting the love inside of those who explore it. It tells the tale of transformational cycles we experience throughout our lives. Falling in and out of love. Feeling lost and rediscovering our purpose. Learning to create a home within our own skin instead of seeking it in other people and places.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's classic poem recounting the astonishing variety of ways in which she loves her beloved, read by Jenny Agutter.

Take a look into the mind of the undead bohemian Jack Townson, an artist who found himself trapped in a world of nightmares, a life without sunlight, never to feel the warmth of day or the permanence of true love. Jack dives inward to put pen to paper, filling each minute with forbidden secrets—from the loves he's lost, to the friends he's made, to the villains who have plagued him, and the dreams of tomorrow. Step into the shoes of a child of dusk trying to find his way back into the dawn.

Mattie Stepanek is wise about love. Love for his family, friends, country, and faith imbues these poems with a heartfelt nature that is rare and inspiring. Of course, Mattie also knows about sadness and loss. He struggles with a rare form of muscular dystrophy that claimed the lives of his three siblings. But despite living a life that many would never choose, Mattie is a joyful kid who never lacks for someone and something to love.

Timeless poetry of feeling and emotion, Love and Space Dust carries listeners on a journey through love, life, relationships, and then far beyond into the stars and the far-flung galaxies, where all that remains of the feelings we once felt and the lives we once lived are love and space dust.

Here is one of the bravest presentations you’ve ever seen - time traveling poet Martin Bidney interviews William Shakespeare, the greatest writer ever, who wrote 154 love poems, 14-line “sonnets”, published in 1609. Bidney responds today with 154 replies in the Shakespearean sonnet form. It’s a talk show interview on facing pages. Will (as he calls himself) is hugely entertaining. What’s more - a well-kept secret in our high schools - Will’s imagination is bisexual, and most of the love life described here is intensely homoerotic.

Omnec spricht und singt über die Liebe mit sphärischer Hintergrundmusik (engl. Original). “Die Liebe ist in der physischen Welt eine der mächtigsten Emotionen, die sich auf unzählige Arten ausdrückt. Liebe kann die Sinne überwältigen oder subtil sein. Liebe ist für jeden von uns verschieden. Liebe kann dazu benutzt werden, schöpferisch zu sein oder sie kann zerstören. Liebe kann dazu benutzt werden, zu manipulieren und zu kontrollieren oder sie kann frei verschenkt werden. Wenn Du Liebe in allen Formen erfahren hast, dann lernst Du bedingungslose Liebe kennen.”

It is clear that the author is madly in love, not only with her partner for whom she writes both idiosyncratic and sultry poems, but in love with language, in love with queerness, in love with the therapeutic process of bankrupting the politics of shame. These poems tackle gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ* struggles, suicidality, and the oppression of women’s bodies, while maintaining a vivid wildness that the tongue aches to speak aloud.
