Applause for a Cloud

Applause for a Cloud

Sayumi Kamakura’s Applause for a Cloud uses the haiku form to attend to everyday life with a cosmological acuteness, invoking wonder on macro and micro scales.Sayumi Kamakura juxtaposes a surreal dailiness with a cosmological acuteness, invoking wonder on macro and micro scales. The paradoxical frictions in her work resolve into moments of lucidity just as often as they perplex. Although she writes in the haiku tradition, her poems detour from the conventional parameters for haiku, such as syllabic restrictions and a fixed seasonal reference. Her flexible approach to the long-standing form allows her to explore new emotional frequencies across a range of subject matter. The book’s four sections—everyday life in Japan, experiences in Morocco and Italy, her husband’s cancer diagnosis, and reflections on the pandemic—reveal the preoccupations of a poet invested in rendering her experiences with a mix of traditional and contemporary motifs alongside a subtle wit. The natural world is always close at hand, yet Kamakura does not merely depict phenomena. She creates moments of stillness that usher the reader into her inner world.

The Gallery of Upside Down Women

The Gallery of Upside Down Women

Arundhathi Subramaniam’s poems map a wobbling world, trying to find its axis in a season of change. Fabrics tear, lands splinter, stances harden, loved ones die, names dissolve. But wandering through these pages are some extraordinary women – women who vault nimbly over borders, walk naked, walk aslant, and sometimes upside down. Leaping from the past into a global present, these exuberant voices offer tips on how to retain one’s spine through life’s giddiest rollercoaster rides. Blurring the divide between the mundane and the magical, the historical and the imaginary, they point to a new world that might lie within the folds of the old. A world that requires a new set of skills: how to find the right nicknames, how to ‘gatecrash into the present’, how to ‘go skinny-dipping in the self’. These are songs of bewilderment, insight and startling freedom. Arundhathi Subramaniam has published five collections in India and three books with Bloodaxe in the UK including When God Is a Traveller (2014), which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, and Love Without a Story (2020). Her earlier work is available in Where I Live: New & Selected Poems (2009). She has published other books on Buddhism and spiritual figures.

Papilární linie

Papilární linie

Každý okamžik v životě zanechává otisk a sbírka Papilární linie je snahou zachytit tyto stopy do poetické mapy, ve které mají podobu krátkých, přesných a hluboce prožitých haiku. Tadeáš Šíma, cestovatel a autor dvou úspěšných cestopisů, píše haiku už čtyři roky – doma i na cestách, mezi včelími úly na Šumavě, na pytláckých stezkách v Kongu i u psacího stroje v tichu svého pokoje. Jeho poezie vyrůstá z hlubokého vztahu k přírodě, kterou nejen obdivuje, ale také aktivně chrání. Verše sbírky jsou jako otisky prstů – pomíjivé, a přesto zanechávající nesmazatelný dojem. Papilární linie lákají na prožití silných i křehkých okamžiků a na dojmy ze setkání s krajinou i lidmi. Jemnost jednotlivých haiku se odráží v půvabných ilustracích, které jsou stejně tak silné i citlivé. Papilární linie jsou jedinečné – stejně jako každý dotek, každý verš a každý člověk, který se jimi nechá vést.

Minx

Minx

‘Like amber, these poems capture moments of time, place and feeling'' Lemn Sissay, author of My Name is Why''An assured debut . . . It''s not just the Dickensian narrative that''s gripping , but the way it brings different forms to bear on its material'' Guardian''Don’t worry, I’m here in the house where every room has a name, but children’s names are often forgotten.''Uplifting and heart-breaking, this lyrical evocation of an Anglo-Romani childhood marks the arrival of a vital new voice.MINX reveals the vibrant but precarious world of a multi-racial Romani family: a world of grandfathers brewing moonshine in marrows, basement reggae parties, and a mother struggling to support her two daughters on the proceeds of her shadowy profession. Their powerful bond helps the sisters survive when they’re taken into care, in a children’s home that forcibly separates them.With a verve and playfulness that belies their pain, these poems explore what it means to belong. Through daring experiments with form and narrative, MINX captures how it feels to grow up between a culture whose traditional ways are being lost and a wider society that despises them.''Moving, magical, mesmerising, these poems stay with you long after the pages are closed’ Jackie Kay, author of Fiere

The Sky Is Our Song

The Sky Is Our Song

An ancient Greek guide to the heavens, translated in a new accessible modern English edition.   A poetic guide to the heavens, the Phaenomena of Aratus—dating from around 270 BCE—was widely known across the ancient world, second only in fame to the works of Homer. Beginning with an invocation to Zeus, the poem describes the constellations of the northern and southern skies, the celestial sphere, and weather signs. Aratus’s vivid work offered a complete handbook of astronomy, constellations, and weather, and this treatise on the night sky was later translated or adapted by luminaries including Cicero, Virgil, and Ovid. The Phaenomena remained popular throughout the Renaissance and had more than sixty printed editions by the early seventeenth century, but its fame has faded in the modern world.   With this edition, renowned translator and amateur astronomer Stanley Lombardo renders Aratus’s poem in reader-friendly vernacular English verse. Complete with endnotes, an accessible introduction, and astronomically accurate illustrations, The Sky Is Our Song brings this master poet’s celebration of the sky to a twenty-first-century audience, inviting new readers to follow Aratus on a visual journey through star signs, moon phases, weather phenomena, and all wonders of the heavens.

Rome

Rome

Rafael Alberti’s collection of poems set in vibrant Rome, his home in exile from Spain. After his long exile in France and Argentina following the Spanish Civil War, Rafael Alberti’s final home in exile was Rome, where he wrote Roma: Peligro para caminantes (Rome: Pedestrians Beware). There, Romulus and Remus sneak down to the Tiber to suckle on feral cats, a jack of all trades pisses on the poet’s shoes, whistling as he walks away, and in the Campo de’ Fiori the poet compares sonnets with the wandering spirit of Giuseppe Gioachino Belli, all in the shadow of the glory of Rome’s imperial ruins. Two suites of sonnets open and close the book, while in between, Alberti displays masterful poems in metered and free verse, rhyming couplets, and a numbered series of short poems. The blending of classical tradition with post-modern echoes the darkness and luminosity that exist within the poems, tinged with longing, nostalgia, love, as well as hope. In the end, the Eternal City is a refuge for Alberti:”I left for you all that I once held dear. / Oh Rome, my sorrow pleads, hold out your hands / and give me everything I left for you.” This unique trilingual edition features exquisite and nuanced translations in English and Italian from the original Spanish by Anthony Geist and Giuseppe Leporace alongside visually evocative photographs of Rome by Adam Weintraub. Readers will want to take this poetic walk in Rome since what sometimes elicits caution, an aspect of danger, also becomes a destination for discovery.

Co teď a co potom

Co teď a co potom

Sbírka Co teď a co potom je již dvacátou čtvrtou básnickou sbírkou Václava Honse (*1938), kterou autor v průběhu několika málo let vydal v nakladatelství Radix. Kromě poémy Vodní hudba (2015), věnované osobnosti Georga Friedricha Händela, vyjadřuje básník ve všech těchto sbírkách lyrickou formou své pocity z uplynulého života, s reminiscencemi na své mládí, s občasnými aktuálními, někdy i politickými konotacemi, s mnoha metaforami, se zřetelným vztahem k umění, zejména k hudbě. Básnické tvorbě se věnuje Václav Hons již přes 60 let, jeho první sbírka Co je před očima, zahrnující verše z let 1959–1960, vyšla v roce 1962. Již od konce 50. let však přispíval do různých kulturních a literárních periodik (Literární noviny, Tvář, Plamen, Host do domu aj.). Bibliografie jeho děl čítá přes 50 položek, ze starší doby např. sbírky Chodec, Černé milosti, Za kloboukem déšť, Zkapalněná křídla. Kromě překladů poezie z bulharštiny a němčiny napsal také několik stovek písňových textů, zvláště šansonů, například pro Karla Gotta, Hanu Zagorovou, Věru Špinarovou, Vítězslava Vávru aj. Nejznámější jsou asi Neposlušné tenisky pro Lucii Bílou. V roce 2018 obdržel za své celoživotní básnické dílo Cenu Unie českých spisovatelů. Básník ke svým veršům a vlastně k celé své tvorbě dodává: „Čas utekl nám v dlouhém snění, za modrého odpoledne je krásné probouzení, čas ubíhal jak hravé hříbě, ale pak strmý čin na cestě chyběl, čas zavřel se jak nedočtený román, v tomto obzoru už nikdy nebudeme doma...“

Living the Loss

Living the Loss

Grief runs through these poems, most beginning with an epigraph from a diary entry by Emily Brontë, whose first loss was her mother when she was just three years old.We are in an interior world in this sequence, thoughts and feelings pouring through these elegant poems, but always anchored in the body, in the physical. It’s in the daily round of kneading the bread that anger is transferred from body to dough till both are transformed; it’s in the ‘intricate feathery leaflets/sweet chrysanthemum-like scent’ of yarrow that refuge is experienced; it’s in the imagination of an ‘island’s sun’ that dark thoughts (‘a crepe-winged crow’) find respite.The poems move between the quiet daily life of a woman who loses those she loves over and over again and Emily Brontë as an extraordinary writer. And in that movement, emotions so earth-shattering, so veined with yearning, so unspeakable in their grief that they challenge death itself, find their form. Liliana Pasterska brings to life a soaring spirit in lucid images that leave us in awe.

The Oasis

The Oasis

Pulsing with the energy of urban life, these poems traverse the gritty, playful and tender moments that shape our lives. From the thrill of evading the police in ‘The Chase’ to the nostalgia of ‘New Shoes’ and the sheer abandon of ‘The Amusements’, we are pulled deep into a world where chaos and community intersect.With a clarion and uncompromising voice, Charles Lang maps a labyrinth of memories, blending sharp wit with darker undercurrents as he explores identity, masculinity, class and ecology. Whether reflecting on family, friendships or fleeting moments of euphoria, Lang offers an authentic snapshot of working-class lives, where beauty is found in both the mundane and the extraordinary; in the human and the more-than-human.A sonorous celebration of language and place, The Oasis is a vivid ode to the city’s streets and stories, a testament to resilience and belonging.

Básně

Básně

Básnická tvorba zpěváka a textaře skupiny Rammstein. Lindemannovy verše jsou hluboce melancholické a surrealistické, plné touhy a napětí, v nichž se obscénní, avšak zranitelný lyrický subjekt otevírá intimnímu dialogu se čtenářem. Básně zkoumají vnitřní temnotu a tělesnou rozkoš s prvky sexuálního napětí. Provokativním a kontroverzním veršům však kontrastují jemnější a introspektivnější motivy, jako jsou láska, samota či existenciální úzkosti. Lindemann si ve verších symbolicky, až experimentálně pohrává s jazykem, prostřednictvím něhož popisuje všední i niterné prožitky bolesti či smrti. Černobílé ilustrace Matthiase Matthiese vytvářejí s Lindemannovými verši symbiotickou koláž sexuality, sebezkoumání a vzpomínek na lásku i vlastní rodinu.

Básně

Básně

Jeho verše jsou rozděleny do několika tematických okruhů – píše šprýmové odkazy, také se hodně zamýšlí nad smrtí a své myšlenky překlápí do úvah o umírání, dalším okruhem jsou básně zaměřené proti pomlouvačům, jindy zase popisuje pomíjivost lásky, krásy či slávy. Ve svých verších dává často na odiv svou tělesnou i duševní nedokonalost. Uspořádání tohoto výboru je snahou o alespoň přibližnou chronologii podle dostupných faktů z básníkova života.

But & Though

But & Though

'Hawkey's poems are electric, buzzing with all the possibilities of language. He has much to say, and is saying it brilliantly' – Nick Laird, winner of the Forward Prize for Poetry and author of Up LateThe characters that live and breathe in Jake Hawkey’s impressive debut poetry collection are playful and spiritual, often both defensive and desperately vulnerable. Taking its title from the language of addiction, with its circles of prevarication and excuse, But & Though leads us on a boy’s journey through a childhood overshadowed by parental alcoholism. These are poems on the move in the tapestry of London life – from the hospital ward to the back rows of the bus – where the desire for escape is also, paradoxically, a ‘Herculean search for home’. But & Though is a testament to the kinship ties that bind us together, however fraught they become, and a celebration of the working-class identity that defines the poet’s native south London. With a voice as spiky and irreverent as it is gentle, Jake Hawkey is a refreshing new talent in English poetry. 'This collection moved me to tears. It is not only daring and accomplished, it is real and written by a young man who has been on a long dark journey and found himself with light in his writing hand' - Sally Read, editor of 100 Great Catholic Poems

I Sing to the Greenhearts

I Sing to the Greenhearts

A collection haunted by ghosts of colonial history, Maggie Harris’s I Sing to the Greenhearts challenges the dullness of pastoral with unbridled nature. Guyana’s Greenheart tree appears in this collection as one of many plants with attitude, plants that know their history, plants bringing the wild in from the edges. In poems set in a thriving Welsh garden, such as ‘My Banana thinks on Louise Bennett’s “Colonisation in Reverse”’, we find a world in which both ecological crisis and justice are at stake.

The Art of Losing

The Art of Losing

Grief faces all of us in the end. This collection explores how poets have expressed and attempted to come to some kind of understanding of this universal but often under-discussed emotion.   M. Wynn Thomas explores how each poet gives full, unbridled expression of their pain, before moving towards a resolution that places the experience of grief in a consolingly meaningful context.  Covering subjects from the loss of a loved one to the death of a language, from the medieval period to the present day, this powerful collection sheds light on the pain of loss and the search for meaning and even hope in it. To those of us walking through grief and loss, these poems offer a guiding hand.

The Face in the Well

The Face in the Well

In her vibrant third collection, Rebecca Watts shines a light on the tender, spontaneous, creative and creaturely aspects of the self, and asks how we might nurture and shield these from the many physical, psychological and social forces predisposed to keep them down.Wearing a variety of costumes, or none at all, the characters in these dramatic poems play hide-and-seek, guarding their vulnerabilities while yearning for greater connection with others and the world. Animals, as totems and spirit guides, swim, run and fly across the pages. Children tiptoe and improvise their way through landscapes designed to curtail and bewilder them. Adults curate their own funerals, befriend spiders, try to love each other, and go to war. Poets and other heroes ? Brontë , Heaney, Plath, Yeats, Mary Poppins ? are confronted, reflected, refracted and left echoing anew.

Synestetika

Synestetika

Básnická kniha Viktórie Citrákovej Synestetika patrí medzi debuty, v ktorých sa vitalita opiera o životnú skúsenosť a vyhranený postoj. Hnacou silou ostáva mladosť a dravosť novej generácie, ktorej autorka prepožičiava svoj hlas, ale dôležitejšie je, že sa o svete hovorí premyslene a s podporou zažitého. Citráková robí mnohé veci inak: nehľadá si svoje miesto, ona vie, kde ho má; neutápa sa v preludoch a fantáziách, ale konfrontuje sa so svetom takým, aký je – krásnym a úžasným, rovnako však aj trpkým, cynickým a v ohrození. Autorkin hlas je vážny a je potrebné ho takto vnímať. Dokáže presne pomenovať bolestné miesta dnešnej spoločnosti a neuniká ani pred vlastnou zodpovednosťou za jej stav. Je to kniha, ktorá sa na nič nehrá. Nepripravených môže zaskočiť, no tých, čo majú úprimný záujem o život, poéziu a iných ľudí, vtiahne do seba a poskytne im to najlepšie, čo môže zo seba dať.
