Poetry Winner: The Poems of T. S. Eliot
Without a doubt, poetry is having a moment right now, which is why we brought it back as a category this year. As Editor Rachel so eloquently notes in an episode of Audicted, there is a new generation of poets that are gaining prominence through social media, tapping into this old tradition and transforming it in new ways. But our winner this year is a collection of classic works elevated to new heights by a staggering and haunting performance. T.S. Eliot’s headier poems—The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land especially—have always felt somehow voiced from a deity above, and Iron’s gravelly gravitas does them justice in a way to which my own inner monologue could never compare. —Emily, Audible EditorRunners-Up

Historia
Acclaimed actress Claire Danes burnishes an epic story of heroes, gods, and monsters in a groundbreaking translation of The Odyssey, the first great adventure story in the Western literary tradition. When the wily warrior-king Odysseus sets off for home after the Trojan War, he doesn’t realize this simple undertaking will become a perilous journey of 10 years. Beset at every turn, he encounters obstacles, detours, and temptations—both supernatural and human—while his wife Penelope fends off would-be suitors desperate to take the throne.

Historia
Orphaned as a child, Fatimah Asghar grapples with coming of age and navigating questions of sexuality and race without the guidance of a mother or father. These poems at once bear anguish, joy, vulnerability, and compassion, while also exploring the many facets of violence: how it persists within us, how it is inherited across generations, and how it manifests itself in our relationships. In experimental forms and language both lyrical and raw, Asghar seamlessly braids together marginalized people’s histories with her own understanding of identity, place, and belonging.
