Everything Everyday


Everything Everyday is a poetic journal of the year that charts winter through to autumn in a richly textured sequence of diary-poems, lyric fragments and a crown of sonnets. Each month’s entry weaves together mythic figures – Tahlequah the mourning orca, Brigid’s mountain dance, Sister Icarus’s fragile flight and Beira’s shore vigils – with the unfolding chronicle of contemporary grief and protest. Readers move from January’s frozen harbour and political flashpoints into spring’s ritual planting of ‘lemon-drop’ seeds, summer’s drum-driven rallies and smoky vigils, and autumn’s oil-slick swans and ash-borne snowdrops. The collection’s formal innovations mirror its thematic urgency: bracketed interjections pulse like heartbeats, dated stanzas resonate like journal entries, and the season-by-season structure creates a mythic ledger of solidarity and hope. Lavery’s work becomes both witness and archive—where personal confession and public ritual converge in an unflinching testament to collective mourning, unbroken resilience, and the ember of promise that refuses to cool. Each poem is an unflinching exploration of memory and identity in an era defined by both loss and possibility. Bold, uncompromising, and deeply resonant, Everything, Everyday invites you to confront the delicate art of living—and loving—in a world that is as beautiful as it is unpredictable.

Cynefin


Reimagine our relationship with the natural world through the Welsh poetic tradition. At a time of biodiversity loss and climate grief, we need to reset our relationship with the natural world. Cynefin helps us hear the voices of people down the centuries who have, through poetry, expressed a different way of connecting with the living world around us. Carwyn Graves explores how the Welsh poetic tradition offers a different view of nature and connecting to our place in the world, and demonstrates its power to help us address the challenges we face. Find fresh perspectives from themes of grief and loss mediated through snow and the cuckoo’s song, to ecological sensibilities in medieval poems and the generosity of the water that drives the water wheel. In a thousand years of poetry we see the natural world portrayed not as a pristine realm but a human home; bittersweet as well as welcoming. Above all Carwyn invites us through these poems, to encounter the living world - in seagulls and sheepflocks, a lake or wheatfield - not in the abstract but in all its sparkling specificity

Sklená huta


Rôzne miesta rozprávajú rôzne príbehy, stačí rozhrnúť zem a čítať. Kdekoľvek sa pozrieme, nájdeme jazvy po dotyku s dejinami. Tri básnické skladby Jána Púčeka obsiahnuté vo zväzku Sklená huta vyrastajú z konkrétnych miest v Malých Karpatoch a Strážovských vrchoch, na ktorých zanechali stopy nielen veľké dejiny, ale aj konkrétne práca sklárskych či drevorubačských komunít. Prelínajú sa v nich dokumentárne fakty, tradované mýty, fragmenty ľudských príbehov i vlastná skúsenosť autora. Sklená huta, Stará hradská i Údolie sú skutočné miesta, ktoré môžeme nájsť na každej mape, zároveň sú to však aj univerzálne metafory životného priestoru, do ktorého človek vtlačil svoju stopu a tá bujnie, alebo sa v priebehu storočí úplne stráca.

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.

A vital, genre-defying collection for a world in search of liberation and healing.

Behind the State Capitol: Or Cincinnati Pike


With the original remaining copies destroyed in a 1982 arson fire at the Fag Rag/Good Gay Poets offices, a beloved cult classic returns to print for the first time in five decadesAlready known as a "poet''s poet," John Wieners (1934–2002) moved to Boston''s Beacon Hill in 1972, where he was involved with anti-war and gay liberation movements and organizations devoted to the rights of people with mental health conditions. Out of this milieu emerged Behind the State Capitol, described by its author as "Cinema decoupages; verses, abbreviated prose insights." It is the record of a poet whose life has been shattered by poverty, drug addiction and mental illness. Wieners creates a complex schizo-analysis of language, capitalism, incarceration and state power, while reflecting on unpopular themes of aging and loneliness in the gay world.Considered by many to be his poetical masterpiece, the book was met variously with indifference and outrage when it was published in 1975. In 1982, most remaining copies of the book were destroyed in the Fag Rag/Good Gay Poets arson. Available in print for the first time in 50 years, this revitalized edition contains new afterwords by Wieners'' friend James Dunn and the poet''s biographer Robert Dewhurst.

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.'
