John Anthony Ciardi (June 24, 1916-March 30, 1986) was an American poet, translator, and etymologist. While primarily known as a poet, Ciardi pursued etymology, contributed to the Saturday Review as a columnist and long-time poetry editor, directed the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont, and recorded commentaries for National Public Radio. In 1959, Ciardi published a book on how to read, write, and teach poetry, How Does a Poem Mean?, which has proven to be among the most-used books of its kind. The following recording is from a speech Ciardi gave in 1965.

In 1495, Leonardo da Vinci began what would become one of history’s most influential works of art—The Last Supper. After a decade at the court of Lodovico Sforza, the duke of Milan, Leonardo was at a low point: at forty-three, he had failed, despite a number of prestigious commissions, to complete anything that truly fulfilled his astonishing promise. His latest failure was a giant bronze horse to honor Sforza’s father, made with material expropriated by the military.

Elena Poniatowska cree que le habría beneficiado dejar el periodismo para dedicarse a la novela, pero no pudo hacerlo porque su profesión la atrapó. En varias tardes de té con el periodista Gustavo Borges en Chimalistac, compartió esta y otras confesiones sobre su oficio. La crónica Tardes de té con Elena, seleccionada por la Fundación Gabo para un taller de Martín Caparrós en 2023, no es una biografía ni una apología, sino un retrato de perfil de la influyente autora mexicana. Gustavo Borges presenta los momentos clave de la obra de Poniatowska con un enfoque agudo y emotivo.

В этой аудиокниге представлены автобиографические новеллы одного из величайших писателей двадцатого века - Исаака Бабеля. Каждая из них воссоздает особый мир, запечатлевшийся в памяти автора: воспоминания о детстве и первой любви, колоритной Одессе с ее криминальными легендами и беспощадные описания революционного Петрограда. Сочетая сострадание Достоевского с язвительным остроумием Чехова, Бабель создал свой собственный точный с журналисткой точки зрения и в тоже время лиричный литературный стиль, который отличает его от всех других писателей постсоветской России.

In There is No Humor in Heaven, Dwayne Eutsey challenges the persistent view of Twain as a hostile critic of religion by placing him within the prevailing liberal religious ethos of his time. Eutsey contends Twain’s vocation as a humorist was rooted in his frustrated youthful ambition to become a preacher of the Gospel. Throughout his life, his friendships with several influential liberal ministers, each of them espousing various forms of the era’s diverse progressive theology, informed not only Twain’s evolving religious worldview but his lecture performances and literary output.

Der heute noch - im Nachklang zu Börne - despektierlich als „widersprüchlicher Charakter" beschriebene Heine kann mit Recht als einer der wenigen „Dichterphilosophen" gelten, bei denen stilistische Eleganz, Esprit und Humor mit tiefer philosophischer Schau und Glaubensbekenntnis ein untrennbares Ganzes bilden. Ein paar Verse nur von Heinrich Heine haben mehr Wärme, aber eben auch mehr philosophische Essenz und Tiefe als tausend laufende Regalmeter deutscher Kathederphilosophie zusammengenommen.

A cultural storm swept through the 1960s—Pop Art, Bob Dylan, psychedelia, underground movies—and at its center sat a bemused young artist with silver hair: Andy Warhol. Andy knew everybody (from the cultural commissioner of New York to drug-driven drag queens) and everybody knew Andy.
