Songs of Love and Life by Zora Cross was a phenomenon in the author’s native Australia in 1917. The original privately-published edition quickly sold out, and an expanded edition was produced a month later. Its erotic content, a rejection of old Victorian values, along with anti-war and feminist themes, catapulted the then 27-year-old Cross to the forefront of Australian poets. She was lauded and praised, but slowly fell into disfavor. Here we present the expanded version of her book, with the addition of four poems dropped from the privately-printed edition, which appear at the end of the recording. – Summary by cavaet Proof-listeners: AudreyL1, zavaa01, cavaet [chương_files]

Les Chansons de Bilitis furent publiées en 1894 : il s’agit d’une collection de poèmes sulfureux et passionnés par une déesse fictive, Bilitis, inventée par le véritable auteur Pierre Louÿs, et dont la vie est retracée dans la préface. Elle aurait vécu sur l’île de Lesbos où elle aurait été rivale de Sappho, puis à Chypre. Pierre Louÿs a poussé le jeu jusqu’à ponctuer ces poèmes érotiques de références pour perturber le lecteur (exemple: “non traduit”). (résumé par Nadine) [chương_files]

This is a collection of fun poems by West Virginia poet M. Ignatius Brennan. In his poems, the poet makes fun of the people in his surroundings, and the society in which he lived. In most instances his humor is benevolent, but can turn malicious, for instance where Kentucky and Kentuckians are concerned. – Summary by Carolin [chương_files]
