Adaptive Strategies for a Sensitive System


Adaptive Strategies for a Sensitive System is a lovingly disordered field guide for surviving a world that keeps turning up the brightness. Disguised in the respectable badge of a diagnostic title, this is in contrast a poetic log of being too sensitive in a society built for the perpetually unbothered. From violent mornings to dreich late nights, Kate sifts through bedrooms, public transport, supermarkets, her Gran’s house, the surveillance-era optimism of mindfulness apps, and the wild terrain of her own mind- gathering softness, silliness, and unexpected wisdom along the way. With raw energy, wry humour and the stubborn softness of someone who has spent a lifetime feeling like a faulty blue tooth speaker trying to connect, she questions what’s innate, what’s inherited, and why everything seems to be “improving” faster than any of us can adapt. Connection, dislocation, loneliness, identity, social failure, and the strange hope that still glimmers beneath it all; this is a companion for anyone who has ever felt out of alignment with the world’s settings, and is still learning how to stay tender without falling apart.

The Museum of Unnatural Histories


Whiting Award 2025 Winner in PoetryThis extraordinary debut poetry collection by Dena'ina poet Annie Wenstrup delicately parses personal history in the space of an imagined museum. Outside the museum, Ggugguyni (the Dena'ina Raven) and The Museum Curator collect discarded French fries, earrings, and secrets—or as the curator explains, together they curate moments of cataclysm. Inside the museum, their collection is displayed in installations that depict the imagined Indigenous body. Into this "distance between the learning and the telling," Wenstrup inserts The Curator and her sukdu'a, her own interpretive text. At the heart of the sukdu'a is the desire to find a form that allows the speaker's story to be heard. Through love letters, received forms, and found text, the poems reclaim their right to interpret, reinvent, and even disregard artifacts of their own mythos. Meticulously refined and delicately crafted, they encourage the reader to "decide/who you must become."

Flowers and Insects, Some Birds and a Pair of Spiders


Forty years after it was first published, Ted Hughes's Flowers and Insects, Some Birds and a Pair of Spiders is presented in a beautifully redesigned edition with a new introduction by the nature writer Tim Dee. The sixteen poems gathered here brim and bristle with the life Hughes generates from the absolute attention he commits to whatever it is he is looking at. His knack for finding a language to animate its subject, without a trace of sentiment or nostalgia, singles out Hughes as one of the truly great poet-interpreters of the natural world. This edition gives full justice to the subtlety of the original watercolour illustrations, produced by Hughes's long-term collaborator and friend, the American artist, Leonard Baskin.

Prague in Thaw / Praha za času plujících ker


Básnická sbírka profesora Rio Preisnera Prague in Thaw (Praha za časů plujících ker) vyšla poprvé česky roku 1992 v nakladatelství Pražská imaginace. Šlo o první básnické dílo, které bylo vydáno v jeho původní domovině od chvíle, kdy ji v roce 1968 opustil. K napsání sbírky ho inspirovala jeho první návštěva vlasti po osvobození Československa ze sovětské hegemonie v roce 1990. Nakladatelství Munipress knihu připravilo v dvojjazyčném vydání, český originál je doplněn anglickým překladem Charlese S. Kraszewského, studenta R. Preisnera. Verše jsou psány náročným, náznakovým stylem, který připomíná Georga Trakla či T. S. Eliota, a představuje autorův způsob, jak se vypořádat s Československem v okamžiku, kdy se vynořovalo z pěti desetiletí komunistického útlaku. Nejde o dílo nostalgické, spíše o střízlivý a nezkreslený pohled na Prahu a na českou společnost a kulturu tak, jak je exulant po více než dvaceti letech odloučení znovu zakusil. Původně sbírka vznikla jako úvaha nad tím, jak „porobení“ poznamenalo Prahu, kterou autor miloval; dnes, s odstupem tří desetiletí české svobody, je však na místě číst ji jako východisko pro vlastní zamyšlení nad tím, jakou cestu Praha a Češi od osvobození přineseného sametovou revolucí urazili.

The World After Rain


‘How incandescent the language is, each line emitting light through the membrane of time and anticipated grief. The work has a rigorousness, the poet pushing through the ache of experience from the first to the last word.’ Dionne BrandIn her signature epic vision, Canisia Lubrin distills a radiant elegy for her mother along an interwoven and unresolvable axis of astonishment, belonging as much to history as to today. Grief, tender and searing, is the channel through which the poet refracts the realm of contemporary life to reveal the paradox of its private and public entanglements. This is poetry of haunting gravity and resonance, with meditations on love, time, and loss, at once meticulously far-seeing, interior and inexpressible.

I Have a Home, There Is a We


I Have a Home, There Is a We, whose original Swahili edition was in 2015 the first book of poetry to win the Safal-Cornell Kiswahili Prize for African Literature, brings the acclaimed verse of prolific Zanzibari poet, journalist, and cultural changemaker Mohammed Khelef Ghassani to English-language readers for the first time. The book explores the poet's life as a migrant in Germany: linguistic and cultural alienation, nostalgia, and longing for his homeland on the island of Pemba. These poems form a catalog of sorrow and love addressed to the family he left behind, to the children whose roots "he tore forcefully from the ground" in hopes of offering them a better life, and above all to the country he calls home, using the deeply resonant Swahili term "kwetu"—our place—named over and over again as Zanzibar. Utilizing the structured verse forms of traditional Swahili prosody, the collection is modern, unique, and innovative, speaking to a global diasporic experience even as it draws deeply on an idiom specific to the poet's tiny island home. A ripple of political defiance suffuses the poems as Ghassani positions himself against layered forms of oppression and marginalization both at home and abroad in this synthesis of love song, lamentation, and freedom declaration.

Dream Latitudes


I am drawing a map of distances. The swimmer. The sleeper. The dreamer. Another afternoon traipsing the incomprehensiblecorridors of the brain. Nothing uttered. Alia Kobuszko's poetry is as immediate as it is mysterious. She is unafraid of detonating form or trusting a quiet phrase, and saturates these poems with surreal and sensuous aspects. In this enchanting and piercing debut, strange horses gallop - embodying metamorphic freedom and power. The speaker becomes the rider, the horse itself and even the field, enacting how the poet inhabits and unanchors their subject so that 'girl and horse / stand still- / field runs through them.'

Renewal


Much admired by Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, the poetry of the St Lucian poet Irvin Desir is published here for the first time. Often visionary, these poems contain such images as “fireflies heave for heaven” and “you filled this cluttered room like a handful of clove”. Published in only a few anthologies during his life, this posthumous collection at last brings to our attention a voice too long unknown. Islander viiI shall see you through the cold shoreline where the wind carries and slides over the sandwherever we search death haunts us everywhere the distracted petals have goneour words fade, fade like mist over the mountain our words add to the silence like lifting dust.

Rarum : priesvitnosť


Verše Mily Haugovej sú aj v tejto zbierke fascinujúco konkrétne (sny, zážitky) i tajomne efemérne (abstraktá, rastlinná a zvieracia symbolika). Rarum – niečo vzácne a zriedkavé. Priesvitnosť – krehká kvalita toho, čo je vnímateľné iba pomaly a trpezlivo. Po prečítaní paradoxne pretrváva niečo, čomu nie je možné v úplnosti rozumieť – dá sa to však precítiť. Kniha ďalej prehlbuje autorkinu poetiku, je prístupná pre skúsené i začiatočnícke čitateľstvo, umožňuje opätovné strácanie a nachádzanie sa. Tvorba Mily Haugovej – našej azda najvýznamnejšej súčasnej poetky – sa pritom vrství ako letokruhy nielen v sebe samej, ale tvorí aj významný referenčný bod v kontexte súčasnej poézie v súvzťažnosti k modernejšie i tradičnejšie ladeným poetikám autorov a autoriek všetkých generácií.

Močál


Třetí básnická sbírka Martina Trdly Močál představuje výrazný posun od jeho dřívější „novinové poezie“ směrem k introspektivnímu a syrovému výrazu. Namísto vnějšího světa se tentokrát zaměřuje na krajinu vlastního nitra – temnou, rozbředlou a mnohdy nepohodlnou. V textech plných ironie, bolesti i černého humoru se Trdla nebojí pojmenovávat slabosti, prohry, závislosti a každodenní zmar bez příkras. Jazykem přesným jako tupý nůž z kalu duše vyřezává básně, které nechtějí líbit – ale chtějí být pravdivé. Močál je sbírkou hluboce osobní, ale zároveň neuzavřenou – každý čtenář v ní může najít odraz vlastní bažiny. V dnešní době přetvářky a filtrů působí její autenticita jako nečekané, ale o to potřebnější gesto.
