Ezer alakot ölt a lélek, ezer alakot ölt nő és férfi, ezer alakban lélegzik, szenved, gyászol, túlél. Mintha ezek a finom fonállal szőtt szavak összekötnék az ember lelkét állattal, növénnyel – indák növik be a verseket, állatok szuszognak a sorok között, és együtt rajzolják ki az életet, adnak hangot a megszólaltathatatlannak. Általuk válik elmesélhetővé, kihordhatóvá mindaz, ami nehéz, ami fájdalmas. És ott lüktet minden vers mélyén gyengéd szavakba burkolva a magára hagyott, elfeledett gyermek, és a nő, akivé vált. A nő, aki cipel, a nő, aki kihord, a nő, aki keres, aki emlékszik, aki továbblép. A nő, aki meg akarja érteni, el akarja mesélni mindazt, amit az élet az ölébe csöppentett. Rendet rak, helyet teremt. A nő ezer színét látjuk meg, a nő ezer mozdulata válik mondattá Szabó Imola Julianna érzékenyen megírt verseiben. Terék Anna Borítóterv és illusztráció: Szabó Imola Julianna

Istenek a körfolyosón


Mitikus séta a nagyvárosi tájban. Istenekkel feleselő női kórus. Lírai kószálók drámai megfigyelései. A trolin, a Szövetség utcában, a Lövölde téren, a Keletinél. A körfolyosón. Leszálltak Budapestre a görög istenek - de ennél is fontosabb, ahogyan ez a különleges verseskötet megküzd és szembenéz velük: feljegyzi és elrendeziőket. Kétezer-hétszáz éves köszönet érte. Tamás Ábel ókorkutató Seres Lili Hanna a költészet egyik legnemesebb feladatát vállalja magára: méltóságot ad. Nagy adagot mér, mert tudja, hogy szereplőinek szükségük van rá. Görög istenekké emeli őket, mert a puszta humanizálás ide már kevés. Nimfák és faunok, istenek és félistenek tévelyegnek Budapesten. Jelenlétük felkavaró, de csak annyira kell tőlük félni, mint a halandóktól. A költő maga is istennő, akinek szívébe van oltva egyenlőnek látni a kerület minden lényét. Márton Joci aktivista

These Spaceships Weren't Built For Us


“Chazaro transforms the ranfla, the hooptie, and the G-ride into a spaceship, a time machine. He points our gaze to the sky and we long to take flight while simultaneously holding onto our roots and what keeps our feet on the ground."—Joseph Rios, Fresno Poet Laureate and author of Shadowboxing: Poems & ImpersonationsIn These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro launches a speculative, lyrical odyssey through Latinx identity, diaspora, and memory, where the immigrant experience becomes a poetic voyage, rooted in resistance, love, and the enduring pull of home. In his newest poetry collection, These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro reconsiders the possibilities of space travel as the son of Mexican immigrants while navigating daily life across rapidly shifting social spaces. From barren gas stations in Central California during the height of the pandemic to faraway jungle planets governed by paleteros, Chazaro imagines the present and future in ways that are simultaneously bleak and dire, hopeful and beautiful, and seemingly, impossibly unrealized.

Where are my window songs?


Where are my Window Songs? has not a word out of place. The phrases are limpid and shimmer with sensory details so that we encounter places, creatures and the persona of the poet as though in the flesh, meaning and metaphor held in the thingness of this carefully and beautifully drawn world. The natural world, memory, how we journey through life, find form in language that is apparently simple but always holds layers and depths. The poetry here is immersive and questioning, elegant and always perspective-altering, gently powerful, and bears reading again and again. Patricia Helen Wooldridge is the winner of the 2024, Rubery Book Award for best poetry book, a twice winner of the Cinnamon Literature Award and also won the Cinnamon pamphlet award. In Where are my Window Songs? she is writing at the height of her power.

Late—Later


In this extraordinary debut collection, Kathleen Bridget Eva O’Hanlon dives deeply into a personal history that holds a mirror up to all the ways we piece together a lifetime of memories to weave a story of our many connected selves. Rich in references to literature, history, myth and culture, the poetry here remains accessible and resonant, clear-eyed, acutely observant and bristling with intelligent humour. We are reminded of the ways fragments of our pasts become defining moments – the casual remark to a child over a Crunchie bar that remains brutally clear decades later, the act of undemonstrative kindness that makes a child feel seen and valued in the simple gift of a wooden butter curler, the radical grandmother who ‘called a penis, a penis’, the life events and ordinary days that mark us – from almost marrying Casanova to childbirth, from our hungry ghosts to the way insomnia blurs into vision, threading loss and memory. It’s late and getting later, but still there is wit and life, still there is a legacy to leave and hope to insist on, memories that reshape both past and future. Still there is a credo – in the ‘great and final roar that is to come’ and in love.

Sublime Lungs


In Sublime Lungs Kate Noakes turns her attention to the breath. For the first time, she explores her lifelong asthma and explains the impact of this chronic and disabling condition. The breath and breathing are subjects for poems from many chronologies and geographies in this her ninth collection. ‘If one measure of a poet’s line is their breath, then you’d expect a poet with asthma to be a little curtailed by it. Not so Kate Noakes. Sublime Lungs finds poem after poem burgeoning out of the condition and leading her to find no trace of Keats in Rome, but allegories in witchcraft, Kent Marsh Frogs or Blade Runner, and to have a double-edged view of nature, which for her can be kill or cure. Whether in Machu Picchu or Boston Library, referencing Charles Olson in Gloucester, or relating to lovers and children, Noakes starts from the breath in her lungs and takes off into air.’ — MATTHEW CALEY‘From Egyptian breath cures to Katherine Mansfield’s inhaler to the thin air of the Rocky Mountains and Machu Picchu, Kate Noakes’ latest collection evokes all the elements of a life lived with asthma. With each successive poem, Sublime Lungs expands the scope of how this condition affects one’s experience of the world in poems by turns witty and moving. This is poetry that attunes us to the nuances of our own embodiment.’ — CARRIE ETTER

Lightship


Twenty years ago, Bruce Ackerley won Cinnamon Press’s inaugural poetry collection prize with his debut, Sound of Mountain, of which RV Bailey wrote: ‘finely crafted, lyrical and spare… with a musical ear for landscape and relationships. An interesting, individual voice, he writes with power and sensitivity.’In Lightship, Ackerley now brings together his finest writing from two decades, the voice confident and supple with a deepened lyricism and an acute sense of what to say, and what not to say, each poem is a honed gem—poised and resonant. Ranging across the natural and supernatural, the solace and joys of art, film and music, love, grief and sexuality, and the vicissitudes of mental health, Lightship is both an internal record and a reaching out. A moving, distinctive piece de résistance.

Transience

And yet at the heart of it all, love remains, conjured here with poignant elegance and with thanks for all that has been. An expansive, tender collection.

Self-Portrait as the "i" in Florida


". . . formally various and deliciously propulsive." —Kaveh AkbarA love letter to Miami and a meditation on fatherhood, Self-Portrait as the “i” in Florida paints a vivid picture of contemporary South Florida in all its contradictions and beauty. Selected by Major Jackson as the winner of the Donald Justice Poetry Prize, Cunningham’s second collection weaves together ecological and familial landscapes, capturing both the spectacle—burning sugarcane fields, snake farms, chaotic highways—and the daily rituals that bind a family: school drop-offs, sick days, and small kindnesses. Blending formalist and free verse, the book becomes both an inquiry into belonging and a celebration of the essential everyday moments that define a life. At once panoramic and deeply personal, Cunningham writes with a documentarian’s eye and a father’s heart.

. . . AGAIN


Award-winning poet Mark Nowak returns with a harrowing documentation of the expansive landscape of MAGAmerica. Told through five abecedarian prose sections, . . . AGAIN is a photo-text commentary on MAGAism in America.

From the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and the January 6 insurrection through Donald Trump’s re-election, Nowak chronicles the transformations as the seasons change around him, attempting to make sense of a bitterly divided nation that elected a polarizing figurehead . . . again.

The Kind Company of Others


A poet’s skill lies in their ability to distil complex themes into a few paragraphs; to pick out the fundamental quality in people that make us unique; they can describe nature in a way that makes us see its majesty. The poet traverses contents and political divides; they help us understand where we have come from which in turn allows us to figure out where we are going. And no one does this better than Alexander McCall Smith. He has brought – through his novels – many wonderful characters to vivid life and entertained readers all over the globe. And in his third collection of poetry, he guides the reader by the hand and takes them through time and place exploring the majestic themes of nature and the complexities of relationships and what it is that makes us human with his trademark warmth and humour.

The Rose


The award-winning poet reckons with feminine archetypes, erotic love, and the shifting boundary between power and surrender Fury is very lustful A body concealing its heart's desire Has a certain texture A tang or an edge if you will That the openhearted cannot match & when exactly does the deceitful Heart open? At climax. -from 'The Hanged Man' The Rose navigates the intersection of power and surrender. Drawing on the history of 'romance' as the troubadours knew it, and the titular flower's ancient allegories for sexuality and mystery, award-winning poet Ariana Reines plunges into feminine archetypes to explore masculine pain: 'I have always liked helpless / & terrible men because they break my mind.' In these poems, inherited ideologies of gender performance are replaced with bold vulnerability: paradoxes of power and surrender transmute the speaker's understanding of suffering, desire, and the soul. The voice in The Rose is wry and bare, approaching the connection between erotic love and spirituality with humour. Investigating war, maternity, violent sensuality, and the role of language in magical acts, Reines is unafraid to uncover the 'secret / & terrible shovelings / Of love,' and the result is a bloody and pulsing, sexy and unabashed bloom.

Miluj ma ako naozaj


HRANICA MEDZI NÁDEJOU A SEBAKLAMOM SLOVENSKÉHO KLASIKA Nemýlia sa tí, ktorí v básnikovi Miroslavovi Válkovi (1927 – 1991) vidia deziluzívneho analytika ľudskej situácie. Ako analytik preukazoval zmysel nielen pre veci skryté, ale aj pre tie skrývané, ktoré ľudia nechcú ukazovať pred inými. Možno preto, lebo sa to nesluší, ale určite tiež preto, že by tým odhalili svoje zraniteľné miesta. A hoci Válek začínal očarený krásou a duchovnosťou sveta, pribúdajúcimi skúsenosťami sa z ilúzií o láske, dobre či spravodlivosti nedobrovoľne vyliečil... Ján Gavura Miroslav Válek (1927 – 1991) vydal básnické zbierky Dotyky (1959), Príťažlivosť (1961), Nepokoj (1963) a Milovanie v husej koži (1965), ku ktorým neskôr pribudla poéma Slovo (1976). Ďalšia Válkova bibliografia odráža paradoxnosť doby a výnimočnosť autorovho postavenia v slovenskej literatúre a kultúre. Jeho tvorba sa stala predmetom početných reedícií a výberov, do ktorých boli doplnené básne z autorových začiatkov (známe tiež ako výber Domáca úloha a cyklus Zápalky), ako aj dva rozsiahle cykly zo záveru básnikovej tvorby (Obrazáreň a Z vody). Aktuálne vydanie v Luxusnej knižnici vychádza z edície Miroslav Válek Básnické dielo (Kalligram – Ústav slovenskej literatúry SAV, Bratislava, 2005, ed. Valér Mikula) a Miroslav Válek Domáca úloha (FACE – Fórum alternatívnej kultúry a vzdelávania, 2018, ed. Peter Tollarovič).
