Listen to an audio magazine
Listen to fiction, music and poetry while you jog. Verb, the first literary audio quarterly, is available for order online at www.verb.org. The inaugural issue, which will be available for download at audible.com or the iTunes Music store on Sept. 12, includes a 13,000-word excerpt from an unpublished novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler, a short story by National Book Award winner Ha Jin and a new short story from Edgar-winner Tom Franklin. It also features the voices of James Dickey (recorded just two months before his death) and Walt Whitman. Early annual subscriptions cost $50 and includes a mug, T-shirt and bonus CD with coments from Dickey, Butler and Franklin about their readings. The single inaugural issue is $19.95 (with bonus CD). Shipping is included.
