About this book
Short Poetry Collection 136 by Various delivers a compact, captivating anthology of 22 short poems read with warmth and clarity by LibriVox volunteers. This poetry audiobook invites listeners into a brisk, varied listening experience—each track offering a complete, satisfying poetic moment.
The selection moves through playful and lyrical verse, reflective and philosophical pieces, and flashes of humor and melancholy. Performed by a chorus of volunteer narrators in a September 2014 recording, the collection showcases a range of voices and interpretive styles that highlight the music and meaning of short-form poetry. Ideal as a sampler, the anthology balances familiar rhythms with lesser-known gems, making it a useful snapshot of themes that resonate across time: nature, love, mortality, wit, and everyday observation.
Perfect for listeners who want a quick poetic lift between errands, commuters seeking compact audio, students wanting diverse examples of verse, or anyone exploring poetry through audio, Short Poetry Collection 136 offers accessible, well-paced performances. Tune in for a concise, richly varied introduction to short poems that rewards repeated listening.
