Mona's Isle [William Kennish] [1844]

On the 10th of January 1844 the Mona’s Herald published “Elegy on an ancient burying ground, bearing no trace of its origin. It was in fact the work of William Kennish and this volume was one of the first books of Manx poetry ever published. The burial ground William wrote about here is very likely to be Keeill Woirrey – St Mary’s Chapel, about one mile below the source of the Cornaa River on Clagh Ouyr and a mile and a half west of his birthplace

Selected Poems Of Emily Dickinson [by Emily Dickinson] [Audiobook]

Emily Dickinson has come to be regarded as one of the quintessential poets of 19th century America. A very private poet with a very quiet and reclusive life, her poetry was published posthumously and immediately found a wide audience. 

While she echoed the romantic natural themes of her times, her style was much more free and irregular, causing many to criticize her and editors to "correct" her. In the early 20th century, when poetic style had become much looser, new audiences learned to appreciate her work. Here collected are many of her most contemplative, most rebellious, and "dark" works, expressing her frustrations with the behavioral confines of her times, and the confines of being human and unknowing of eternity.

Poems Series One [by Emily Dickinson] [Audiobook]

Renowned poet Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) wrote many many poems. This collection, "Poems: Series One", presents the first installment of the complete poetic works of Miss Emily Dickinson. It is broken into four parts: Life, Love, Nature, and Time and Eternity.

The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio,"--something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. The poetry found here is then entirely honest, and indicative of the authors true feelings.
