The Earth-Child in the Grass and Other Poems: Including Analyses and Piano Underscore for each poem

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Earth-Child in the Grass and Other Poems presents twenty of Katherine Mansfield’s most luminous and intimate poems in a carefully crafted audio edition that honors both their lyric delicacy and emotional depth. Written with Mansfield’s characteristic sensitivity to childhood, memory, solitude, and fleeting moments of perception, these poems reveal a lesser-known but deeply resonant side of one of modernism’s most beloved writers.

This collection includes A Little Girl’s Prayer, The Lonesome Child, Very Early Spring, When I Was a Bird, The Quarrel, The Earth-Child in the Grass, and fourteen other poems that trace the inner landscapes of innocence, longing, and quiet wonder. Mansfield’s poetic voice—simple on the surface, profound beneath—comes alive through attentive narration and thoughtful interpretation.

Each poem is accompanied by an original spoken analysis, offering insight into Mansfield’s imagery, themes, and emotional nuance, while preserving the subtlety of her art. The poems are narrated by AI Voice Willow, whose clear, gentle delivery reflects the intimacy and restraint of Mansfield’s verse. The project is directed by A. M. Bly, who also composed and performed the original piano underscore for each poem. The music does not intrude but moves alongside the poetry, enhancing mood and atmosphere with restraint and grace.

Designed for listeners who cherish literary depth and reflective listening, this audiobook offers a contemplative experience in which poetry, analysis, and music are woven into a unified whole—an invitation to listen closely, linger, and rediscover the quiet power of Katherine Mansfield’s poetry.
