Download Conversations with a Muse AudioBook Free
Paralyzed by poetry? Clueless about the classics? Mystified by muses? Then this compilation is merely the booklet for you. Written with a light touch in accessible English, it explores a variety of themes which have concerned most of us at onetime or another. If you've ever been out of your depth at a conference, lost at a job fair, or wondered why you need to keep your powder dried, then you will immediately relate to the verses inside. Encounter Robert Frost in the woods of New Britain, soar with Shelley's nightingale, embolden Keats' knight, and find out what really happened to the monster Grendel. Meet two of the Muses, participants of that classical group which have stirred the artistic endeavors of poets, musicians, and actors for centuries. Immortal they may be, but here they are proven to have very individual emotions and enthusiasms. Erato, Muse of lyrical and erotic poetry, simply cannot take no for an answer; her warrior sister, Calliope, is reduced to pleading for another epic to be written. Within this audiobook, you will find philosophy, relationship, and a love of character as well as disturbing thoughts about the future of our planet. Hopefully almost all of the poems will raise a smile; some may linger in the mind, as well as others provide food for further reflection. Enjoy!
