OWC Selected Poems
Verlaine, possessed by the madnesses of love, brimming over with desires and prayers, the rebel railing against the complacent platitudes of society, of love, of language'. Jean Rousselot Verlaine ranks alongside Baudelaire, Mallarme, and Rimbaud as one of the most outstanding poets of late nineteenth-century France whose work is associated with the early Symbolists, the Decadents, and the Parnassiens. Remarkable not only for his delicacy and exquisitely crafted verse, Verlaine is also the poet of strong emotions and appetites, with an unrivalled gift for the sheer music of poetry, and an inventive approach to its technique. This bilingual edition provides the most comprehensive selection of his poetry yet, offering some 170 poems in lively and fresh translations and providing a lucid introduction which illuminates Verlaine's poetic form within the context of French Impressionism and the poetry of sensation.

How to Read a Poem
Malcolm Hebron writes with one aim in mind: to help you read, understand and appreciate poetry. The English language has an extraordinarily rich stock of poems to its credit, from the epic Beowulf, written perhaps as early as the eighth century, to the poetry of Simon Armitage, Carol Ann Duffy and the many other fine writers working today. This slim volume is packed with good advice on how to get the most of great poems, whether old or new. Look for the surprising words, for example - that's one good tip. They will help you understand what the poet is trying to say. And look for the conflict in a poem - there's always some kind of central tension or opposition in great poetry. "Out of the quarrel with ourselves we make poetry," observed W.B. Yeats. This book explains, too, those puzzling technical terms used to describe the tricks poets use, like enjambment, and shows how they use them to brilliant effect. Here are explained too the mysteries of rhythm, sound, meter and poetic imagery, amidst a wide variety of wonderful examples of great poetry, from Thomas Hardy to W.H. Auden. After reading this short book, you will approach any poem you read with fresh eyes.

Brána
Koncom roku 1947 poslal mladý ambiciózny básnik Vojtech Mihálik, ktorý krátko predtým debutoval zbierkou spirituálnej poézie Anjeli (1947), redaktorovi vydavateľstva Verbum, básnikovi Jankovi Silanovi postupne dva listy a strojopis zbierky, ktorú zamýšľal vydať v edícii poézie Lux. Doklady o Silanovej reakcii sa nezachovali a po tzv. Víťaznom februári 1948 bol zo strany komunistickej štátnej moci na vydavateľstvo Verbum vyvíjaný enormný tlak, ktorý viedol napokon k jeho zániku. Zbierka nikdy nevyšla, ale zachoval sa strojopis unikátnej skladby Brána, ktorou Mihálik pokračoval v rozvíjaní „anjelskej“ tematiky. Skladba je unikátna z hľadiska kompozície, pretože autor integroval do korpusu tejto poémy svoje pôvodne samostatné básne, z ktorých mnohé neskôr našli uplatnenie v jeho neskorších zbierkach. Skladba Brána dopĺňa ďalšie „biele miesto“ v tvorbe V. Mihálika.
Major Works: Including Poems, Plays and Critical Prose (Oxford World´s Classics)
This authoritative edition was first published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Yeats's poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by plays, cri
tical writings, and letters - to give the essence of his work and thinking. W. B. Yeats was born in 1865, only 38 years after the death of William Blake, and died in 1939, the contemporary of Ezra Pound and James Joyce. His career crossed two centuri
es, and this volume represents the full range of his achievement, from the Romantic early poems of Crossways and the symbolist masterpiece The Wind Among the Reeds to his last poems. Myth and folk-tale influence both his poems and his plays, represen
ted here by Cathleen ni Houlihan and Deirdre among others. The importance of the spirit world to his life and work is evident in his critical essays and occult writings, and the anthology also contains political speeches, autobiographical writings, a
nd a selection of his letters. This one-volume collection of poems and prose offers a unique perspective on the connectedness of Yeats's literary output, showing how his aesthetic, spiritual, and political development was reflected in everything he w
rote.

Lacná kniha Žaltář (-70%)
Sbírka Ondřeje Macury Žaltář obsahuje básně, které časově předchází jeho debutu – básnické sbírce Indicie (Klub přátel Tvaru 2007). Zatímco Indicie tvoří dvě rozsáhlé poémy, Žaltář obsahuje třiatřicet kratších textů. Ty se svými tématy a dikcí blíží konfesijní poezii, a to navzdory ironizující autostylizaci mnohdy dokonce svou syrovostí a strohostí připomínají deníkové záznamy. Pro většinu básní je příznačný pocit milostné a životní deziluze, reflexe vlastní samoty, ale tento tesklivý tón (využívající evokací symbolistické a dekadentní poezie) je zmírněn notnou dávkou racionálního odstupu a někdy i černého humoru. Pocit životní hořkosti je v konečném vyznění paradoxně chápán jako jedna z nejlegračnějších součástí lidského života. ONDŘEJ MACURA (* 3. 1. 1980)Žije v Praze. Vystudoval český jazyk a literaturu a slavistiku na Filozofické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy. Pracuje jako středoškolský učitel. Publikoval několik literárněhistorických studií, dále poezii a prózu v časopisech Tvar, Dobrá adresa a Weles, v antologii Cestou (Weles 2004) a sborníku z česko-francouzského festivalu poezie Poésies de Paris Prague/ Poezie mezi Prahou a Paříží (Avant-post/Boulvart 2007). Svou poezii prezentoval na několika autorských čteních a na stanici Vltava. Vydal básnickou sbírku Indicie (Tvar 2007). V roce 2009 mu vyjde román Netopýři.

Gorazdov odkaz
Autor diela Jozef Zavarský (pseudonym Teofil Klas) je renomovaný slovenský básnik, tvorca prevažne duchovnej poézie. Má na konte vyše dvadsiatky knižne vydaných diel vlastnej i prekladovej tvorby, z toho za ostatných päť rokov štyri nové knihy poézie a jeden preklad románu. Vrcholnými jeho prácami sú poémy Hlas kňaza Gorazda (1999) a Grálová sonáta (2010), ktoré našli spoločensko-kultúrny i mediálny ohlas. Takisto osobitne významná je jeho prekladateľská a editorská práca na deviatom zväzku Zobraných literárnych a mysliteľských diel Pavla Straussa Deutsche Gedichte/Nemecké básne (2012), ako aj práca na novej edícii
Beniakovho Igrica (2013). Kniha Gorazdov odkaz (vydal Spolok slovenských spisovateľov) je novokomponovaný artefakt, zložený z textu poémy (triptychu) Hlas kňaza Gorazda (1999) ako textu základného a z pridaných samostatných textových častí – Závet svätého Gorazda (2000) (napísané v básnickej maniere Hlasu kňaza Gorazda pre Katolícku univerzitu v Ružomberku k jej založeniu, dosiaľ knižne nepublikované) a Spev o Božom narodení (2009) (napísané v básnickej maniere Grálovej sonáty, publikované časopisecky). Ide o kompozične ucelený zámer poetickej prezentácie ideového historického odkazu prvého známeho slovenského intelektuála sv. Gorazda (9. storočie), od ktorého sa dodnes odvíja kultivovanie a napredovanie slovenského kultúrneho ducha.

Obyvatelé
Básnická sbírka Obyvatelé je zalidněna přízraky, které se pohybují po ulicích současného města. S autorem prožijeme pouliční nepokoje, drobné denní katastrofy, tajemnou invazi, noční filmové natáčení v parku, zemětřesní, lásku i mnoho dalšího. Projdeme tajným průchodem z Prahy až do New Yorku. Ve své nové knize básník Jakub Řehák podvrací obraz reality, která nás obklopuje každý den. Obyvatelé obsahují vedle kratších textů i rozsáhlejší, panoramatické poemy o několika částech. Přitažlivé je napětí mezi Řehákovou surrealistickou obrazností a zdánlivě klasičtější formální podobou básní.

Collected Stories and Poems
This collection of Poe's work contains some of the most exciting and haunting tales ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious and the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius of the grotesque that defines Poe's writing. The stories are so alive with compelling mysteries, vibrant images and unforgettably tormented characters, that it is easy to associate Edgar Allan Poe solely with entertainment and forget that he was also one of the greatest innovators in modern literature. This volume contains all of Poe's "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" and "Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque", and a selection of his poetry.
