Looting Hummingbirds


In the first quarter of the 20th century, Daniel Thaly of Dominica, then a British Caribbean colony, was one of France’s most celebrated poets. He was educated in Martinique and then at medical school in France before returning to Dominica. His illustrious reputation crumbled when radicals in the emerging anti-colonial Negritude movement criticised his work. From then on he wrote little. Here for the first time in English (and French) we can read a selection of his lyrical and passionate poems - many about Dominica - alongside an introduction that pieces together what little is known of his life.

Collected Poems


For the first time, this volume gathers together all Tobias Hill’s poems from his four full-length collections in one beautiful and collectable paperback edition, introduced by Maura Dooley. The Collected Poems marks an important moment in British poetry, drawing together Hill’s work from his Eric Gregory Award-winning debut, Year of the Dog (1995), to the bestselling Nocturne in Chrome & Sunset Yellow (2006). Hill’s celebrated ‘urban pastoral’ was decadent yet austere, driven through radical visual desire. Here in one volume we can see the extent of his imaginative journey, travelling through towns and cityscapes, presenting a simmering world of captured lives, haunting, but filled with charm and wit. The early work is dominated by Japan, where Hill lived for two years, yet it is his beloved London that becomes the imaginative centre of his work, filled with the sensuous intensity of that great city. Tobias Hill was selected as one of the country’s Next Generation poets in 2004, shortlisted for the 2004 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and named by the TLS as one of the best young writers in the country.

Gravity Archives


From the former Poet Laureate, a remarkable contemplation of departure and return. Andrew Motion's new collection gives a moving account of the friction and interplay between past and present. In the opening elegies for friends and former versions of the self, and in the long title sequence which completes the book, he explores the ways in which regrets compete with hope, and the appetite for life is always a prey to hard facts of mortality. The energy and reach of these poems opens a new chapter in Motion's writing, remaining true to the elegiac subjects which have always been his main concern, while adding new depths of pathos and resonance.

Crowd Voltage


John McCullough's Crowd Voltage addresses yearnings for community. It probes fragmentation within groups and individuals – disturbances within the body of the crowd and the crowd of the body. Engaging with working-class and queer experiences, the poems move between solitude and togetherness, haunted by ghosts from history as they dream of unity and discover joy in deserted corners. To be common here is to share not only qualities but stories with many others – to be classed alongside people with similar origins and become connected also to what is commonplace in the world of animals and plants, days and tables. Sky and sea dominate as the speakers search for oneness and completion, confronted by vast silences and the shadow of Brighton’s collapsing West Pier. John McCullough has published four previous collections, one with Salt and three with Penned in the Margins, most recently, the Costa-shortlisted Reckless Paper Birds (2019), winner of the Hawthornden Prize, and Panic Response (2022), which included his long poem 'Flowers of Sulphur', shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem.

Life Immediately


Life Immediately is a pacy, dynamic debut collection containing all the preoccupations of Lily Blacksell’s work, from womanhood, to music, to the natural world and our calamitous dealings with it, to the calamity and comedy of human relationships, romantic or otherwise. Blacksell’s writing showcases the expansiveness of language, but also its failures: communication builds up and breaks down, geese honk, hangovers linger, in eclectic, formally confident poems where observation is balanced with insouciance.

I Do Know Some Things


'A spectacular comeback' Jeremy Noel Tod, Prospect'Siken’s signature intensity still throbs between sentences' The Yale ReviewA collection of pitch-perfect prose poems written in the immediate aftermath of a catastrophic stroke. From the author of cult poetry bestseller, Crush. Richard Siken’s Crush was an underground international sensation. Twenty years on, he returns with the momentous I Do Know Some Things, cinematic in its tragic vision and emotive force. In the aftermath of a stroke, the poet’s language and much of his memory is, for a time, wiped out. As his mind gropes its way back from oblivion, the scenery flickers between memories of a ruptured childhood and queer coming-of-age, and the precipice of the present. Each poem is a room in a ‘house owned by ghosts'. In these seventy-seven prose poems, Siken has forged a new voice at once terrifying and vital. Brave in content and in method, I Do Know Some Things demands his recognition as an essential poet of our times. ‘Thrums with reinvention: of the self, of the prose poem, of the false divide between the everyday and the surreal’ Andrew McMillanPraise for Crush:'Cumulative, driving, apocalyptic power' Louise Glück‘The immense wingspan of influence that Crush has on 21st-century American poetry cannot be overstated’ Ocean Vuong

Čas manga


V poradí druhá básnická kniha slovensko-americkej poetky Oľgy Urminskej, ktorá po emigrácii žila v amerických alternatívnych, hippie komunitách je výberom jej básní z archívu zo 70. a 80. rokov v preklade Samuela Vahovského. Poézia z tohto obdobia, časť ktorej bola publikovaná v amerických časopisoch a zborníkoch, reflektuje jej rebelský, nonkonformný a nezávislý život v týchto komunitách. Ale predovšetkým skúsenosť materstva, afirmáciu ženského tela, akými to aktuálne robila americká druhá vlna feminizmu či beat poézia – návratom k vytesneným formám rytmu, zariekavania či opakovania. Druhá časť knihy pod názvom „Jeden deň v živote umelkyne“ predstavuje civilnejšie ladené básne, ktoré ukazujú na jej neskoršie snahy popísať jedinečnosť umeleckého procesu, zachytávajú ju ako poetku aj maliarku.

Dispatch From Every Second Guess


A verse-memoir spanning the breakdown of a marriage and the resulting wide-open horizon of single motherhood,Dispatch From Every Second Guess explores how we negotiate the present in the light of the past, how our lingering resentments limit our attentions, and how old wounds reopen in new ways. Gannon’s life is layered with tensions. The tension of being a white adoptive mother to a Black son. The tension of healing from a failed marriage. The tension of supporting a partner through mental health crises. The tension of mothering the partner’s child in the shadow of a fraught relationship with one’s own mother. And the tension of admitting ugly truths in a genre that often demands beauty, especially from women poets. Perfect for fans of Sharon Olds and Maggie Smith, Gannon’s second full-length collection of poetry is rife with poignant self-reflection and lyrical storytelling as she writes her way toward understanding, and maybe even forgiveness.

Stone


“Invaluable. . . . [What] comes across in these translations is the verve and immediacy of the poems’ occasions.”—Seamus HeaneyA groundbreaking translation of the brilliant first book by one of the twentieth century’s most important poetsStone—Osip Mandelstam’s 1913 debut—marked the arrival of perhaps the greatest Russian poet of the twentieth century, one whose refusal to bow to Soviet political and artistic dictates led to his persecution and eventual death in one of Stalin’s prison camps. Mandelstam spent his early years in St. Petersburg, and many of the poems in Stone depict the city’s vast squares, classical buildings, and Dutch canals. Other poems reflect his hunger for Western European culture, his commitment to humanistic values, and his ambition to become a master of the Russian language. This bilingual edition is based on the final version of Stone, published in 1928, and features a biographical and critical introduction and detailed annotations.

Unrest in the Nebulae


In unrest in the nebulae, Gitan Djeli wields prose poetry to archive five hundred years of exploitative colonization, ecocide, extinction, militarization and deportation, slavery, indenture, negotiated nationhood, postcolonial plantation structures, and apologist histories. Writing in a queer anticolonial poetics, and using lines of Kreol, Gitan Djeli mines the tension that emerges between colonialism and language, disarticulating the myth-making aesthetics of the colonial world. She tells the story of the ‘other slavery’ in the Indian Ocean and its histories of enslavement and indenture through a subversive, fragmented poetics, and often from the perspective its geologic witnesses – a misnamed ocean or the range of mountains within it or the volcanic idea of islands. In a charge of resistance to the catastrophe of modernity, unrest in the nebulae takes seriously Sylvia Wynter’s invitation to engage “a new science of the word.”

D S M M N R: V ľahších situačných súhvezdiach


Autorstvo D S M M N R sa nebojí gramatiky, pravopisu ani angažovanosti. Napína kazajku jazyka na prasknutie, prihovára sa zvieratám, súcití s trpiacimi. Zachytáva hmýrenie sveta a necháva sa ním unášať. Zároveň mu však aj vzdoruje. Prieči sa mechanicky a väčšinovo prijímaným pravidlám a názorom, prestupuje mocensky nastolené hranice a limity. Básnický cyklus V ľahších situačných súhvezdiach vznikol v spoluautorstve, na jeho tvorbe sa podieľali Marianna Mlynárčiková, Nóra Ružičková a Dana Snopková. Nejde o prvé tvorivé stretnutie týchto autoriek, v minulosti spolupracovali (aj s prispením Miriam Kujanovej) na intermediálnych projektoch Rozhovory, ktoré vedú inam (2013), Bouvard a Pécuchet bádajú na poli slovenského umenia (2014) a Cvičenie s monografiami/Exercise with Monographs (2016).

Klíče od ráje


Básnická sbírka Klíče od ráje je v pravém slova smyslu rukodělným dílem. Autor, který si říká Fousáč a českým čtenářům je již znám ze sbírky Sedmikráska, tentokrát předkládá knihu zcela výjimečné podoby – každá báseň i ilustrace jsou psány a kresleny vlastní rukou. Do knihy se dostaly jako skeny originálních rukopisů, takže čtenář drží v ruce něco, co stojí na pomezí literatury a výtvarného umění. Básně samotné jsou poetické, lehce mystické a dotýkají se nejhlubšího nitra podvědomí. Zachycují nejčistší okamžiky přítomnosti a nacházejí krásu v každodenních činnostech a samotném plynutí života. Fousáč, hudebník hrající na harmoniku a ukulele, přenáší do svých textů stejnou citlivost a bezprostřednost, jakou zná z živé hudby. Klíče od ráje nejsou jen básnická sbírka – jsou to originální artefakty zachycené na papíře.
