Předměstí nebe


Předměstí nebe je sbírka poezie zakořeněná v krajině, těle a paměti. Básně Marty Kocvrlichové vyrůstají z konkrétních situací, ticha všedního dne i z hlubších vrstev prožívání, v nichž se osobní zkušenost přirozeně prolíná s mýtem, přírodou a duchovními motivy.

Krajina, rodinný život, ženská zkušenost, rituál i stínové stránky bytí zde nejsou tématy k výkladu, ale prostory k prožití. Sbírka nabízí soustředěné čtení pro ty, kdo hledají poezii jako způsob vnímání světa.

A Year of Last Things


With A Year of Last Things, acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje returns to poetry, looking back on a life of displacement and discovery'My life always stops for a new book by him' JHUMPA LAHIRI'A generous, moving book' GUARDIANBorn in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived there since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world – describing himself as a 'mongrel', someone born out of diverse cultures. Here, rediscovering the influence of every border crossed, he moves back and forth in time, from a childhood in Sri Lanka to Moliere’s chair during his last stage performance, from icons in Bulgarian churches to the Californian coast and loved Canadian rivers, merging memory with the present, looking back on a life of displacement and discovery, love and loss. As he writes in the opening poem:Reading the lines he loveshe slips them into a pocket,wishes to die with his clothesfull of torn-free stanzasand the telephone numbersof his children in far citiesPoetry – where language is made to work hardest and burns with a gem-like flame - is what Ondaatje has returned to in this intimate history.

Appeasements


'That was yesterday / Those were my hands / That was yesterday / When the future came...' Yves Nedonsel - born in Normandy in 1947 - was a poet of time and out of keeping with his time. His first book, Remugles, was published in 1974. He then fell silent for decades, turning his attention to the study of transhumance paths and the cultivation of a vineyard in his adopted home of Provence. Yet he continued to revise his poems and compose new ones, creating a body of work remarkable for its intensity, its feverish rhythms, and its grim humour. In 'Autopsy of a Week', 'Summerhill', and 'In Quarantine', the speaker rails against the cant of the contemporary world, yet the language is electrified by the stuff of this world: 'the future is shrink-wrapped', and 'the cheapjack shines / mesmerising to memorise...' By turns profane and profound, Nedonsel's poems give voice, as he himself writes, to 'a voiceless cry torn to shreds by writing'. Appeasements is the first selection of Nedonsel's poems to appear in English. The book also includes a translator's note about the poet and the poetry, as well as several of Nedonsel's letters. Alex Andriesse has translated into English works by Chateaubriand, Paul Lafargue, Cristina Campo, Roberto Bazlen and Jacques Dupin, amongst others. He is an associate editor at New York Review Books.

The Distance of a Shout is a profound and gorgeous collection by an indispensable poet of our time, and proof of why miraculous poetry endures.

Ticho, ktoré hovorí nahlas


"Táto kniha nevznikla preto, že by som mala všetky odpovede. Vznikla v momente, keď som ich prestala hľadať mimo seba. Je to osobná výpoveď o tichu, ktoré bolí, o tele, ktoré kričí skôr než myseľ, a o odchode, ktorý nebol slabosťou, ale vyslobodením. O vzťahu, ktorý ma ničil potichu. O úzkosti, pochybnostiach a hanbe, ktoré sa nenápadne stali súčasťou každodenného života. A o návrate k sebe a k vlastnej hodnote. Pre všetkých, ktorí sa niekedy báli nadýchnuť, stratili sa vo vzťahoch, ktoré ich oslabovali, a hľadajú domov nie vonku, ale v sebe."

The Gaucho Martin Fierro and Martin Fierro's Return


'Some verses flow on out of menlike headstreams course through a canal. The same holds true for mine, old pal-though I can't say they're worth a lick,they still pour out of me real quick,like sheep escapin' a corral.'José Hernández's long narrative poems The Gaucho Martín Fierro (1872) and Martín Fierro's Return (1879) relate the often harrowing story of a gaucho's misfortunes against the backdrop of Argentina's nation-building a few decades after its independence from Spain. The first poem relates Martín Fierro's forced conscription, the hardships of irregular military service, and his desertion, followed by the discovery of his home and family gone upon his return, murder, and life as a fugitive from the law among the same tribe he was earlier drafted to exterminate. The second continues the narrative, taking in an epic singing contest against an itinerant musician, and culminating in Fierro and his sons going their separate ways in an attempt to live out lives of peace under assumed names. G. J. Racz provides the first metrical, rhyming translation into English in almost a century. Considered classics of Latin American literature, the works embrace the psychology of their oppressed 'common man' protagonist while depicting the larger sociopolitical forces slowly marginalizing his once vibrant cohort of skilled horsemen, itinerant cowhands, and modest livestock ranchers.

the witch doesn't drown in this one


In this one, the witch doesn’t burn or die or drown. In this one, she rages.In the witch doesn’t drown in this one, celebrated poetess amanda lovelace revisits the titular voice behind her 2018 bestselling collection the witch doesn’t burn in this one.

Material Witness


Material Witness, Edward Ragg's sixth collection, bears witness to all manner of materials: from botany, bower birds, diving bell spiders, rock formations and coral reefs to a Nazi-stamped photo of the poet’s mother as well as Dante’s Divine Comedy and the Las Meninas paintings of Velázquez and Picasso. In three sections — ‘Scenes’, ‘Acts’, ‘Aftermaths’ — Material Witness reveals an interlinking architecture, constructing a poetry profoundly wedded to the physical universe and variously concerned with love, family history, the natural world, even the simple act of stirring a cup of tea. This is a poetry that conjures in all senses ‘the strange companionship of materials’.

Becoming Wetland


As the global ecological crises deepens, fire and water, elements that bring warmth, life, become increasingly threatening as we hold our breath, the earth burning and drowning. In Becoming Wetland Yvonne Baker dives into the existential menace of a world whose waters have lost rhythm and balance. But we are never in the realm of the didactic. This watery world is one of sorrow and questions, of images so precise and clear we feel them as our own. With her gift for making connections, between heart and world, between events and objects that could go unnoticed and the ripples of their impact, Yvonne Baker skilfully takes us ‘into the waters / of the reedbed as it sinks into darkness’ where we find the lost objects of ordinary, inundated lives. And in a central sequence we move forward through time, looking back on ourselves through the eyes of those still to be born to find, ‘a reminder of the years when we still had hope.’ But back in the present, that hope has not failed, if only we will listen and accept the blessing on those of us, all of us, ‘caught / between the ochre heat, the black rain.’ Timely, poignant and beautiful, from a poet whose writing warns, comforts and invites us to feel deeply.

Devil's Piece


In Devil’s Piece loss, absence, mental illness and pain are examined with a lens so clear and lucid, the heart aches. Yet in that clarity, there is a savouring of the smallest things and a permeability to love and life that creates songs of what might have been dirges. There is no dressing up of reality, no pretence that everything is well, but in these fearless, precise poems there is transformation. An exquisite collection.
