Francouzské básně


První ucelený český překlad Rilkeho francouzských básní doplněný vysvětlivkami a komentáři v synoptickém vydání. Přeložil a komentáři vybavil Miloš Kučera, obraz na obálce Vladimír Véla. Rilke je výsostně básníkem německého jazyka. Složil stovky německých básní a jaksi mimo i přes čtyři sta básní ve francouzštině. Část z nich přeložil například Vladimír Holan. Náš překlad vychází ze Sämtliche Werke (Bd. II), které opakovaně vydával Rilke-Archiv pod vedením Ernsta Zinna (konkrétně z vydání Insel Verlag, 1987). Rilkovy francouzské básně nejsou žádným rozmarem, ale svého druhu jeho dalším, už posledním vrcholem, či alespoň stoupáním k němu. Pro veřejnost i většinu fanoušků, rilkologů a badatelů jsou současně ale neznámým dílem.

Átváltozások


Nincs természetesebb és maibb római költő, mint Ovidius. Nincs alapvetőbb léttapasztalat, mint az átváltozás. A költői világteremtés és az emberi megismerés vágya lázad a káosz ellen, mely egyszerre fenyegetés és kihívás, pulzáló alapanyaghalmaz és végső megnyugvás. A költészet szavakból és zenéből teremt világot, a teremtett világ pedig értelmezésre váró költészet. Ovidius nagyszerű teremtő és zseniális értelmező, az átváltozások filozófusa, a szellemesség és a történetmesélés mestere. Metamorphoses (Átváltozások) címen ismert, tizenöt énekes műve a szerző középső alkotói korszakának terméke, feltehetőleg Kr. u. 1 és 8 között keletkezett. Az európai kultúra egyik alapműve.

Hlas pro opuštěné duše


Otisk dívky bloudící mlhou vlastních myšlenek. Verše, útržky a příběhy o bolesti, kráse i o tom, co zůstává, když všechno kolem zmizí. O tom, když se rozpouštíme v melancholii jako déšť v kalužích. Z ticha zrozená podaná ruka. Připomínka, že i když bloudíte, nejste sami.

All That Refuses to Die


Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African PoetsAll that Refuses to Die is a poetry collection that interrogates the present conditions of Africans through a historical lens. Michael Imossan moves into historical spaces such as museums and sites of enslavement, touching artifacts that hold meaning, and asking, Where was Africa? Where is Africa now? And what has changed? The Biafran War that claimed three million lives, though declared over, still has its lingering effect on Nigeria and Nigerians. Congo, though free of King Leopold and the exploitation of cotton, is still not free of other kinds of exploitation, nor is Uganda. Though the slave trade has ended, African bodies are still found in the Sahara Desert and in the Atlantic Ocean. All that Refuses to Die is a collection that brims with stories and memories that evoke as well as provoke. As he moves through historical places, the poet compares the past with the present and finds that nothing has really changed.

Nespatřené myšlenky


Nespatřené myšlenky jsou tichým křikem duše, která touží být vyslyšena. Otevírají prostor těm, kdo se cítili sami nebo neviditelní uprostřed světa. Každý zápis je zrcadlem – někdy krutým, jindy laskavým. Pro ty, kdo se hledají. A pro ty, kdo se konečně rozhodli cítit.

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.

Sonnets


A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Shakespeare's immortal poems with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon. Love sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love. Some appear to be written to a young man, some to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.

Later Life Letter


'A really remarkable, deeply moving book' RICHARD CURTIS'Utterly direct . . . The poems are passionate yet controlled, simple in form and sparing of imagery' FINANCIAL TIMES'Luke wright and this time it's personal. But seriously, a highly original idea, expertly carried out' JOHN COOPER CLARKE'I was bawling from the first page and gulped it down in one swift swallow' HOLLIE MCNISHWhat is a later life letter? Written by a child's social worker to be opened at an appropriate age, it details their journey from birth to adoption. When Luke Wright received his as a teenager, he didn't think much of it. But now, married to a social worker and seeing the care she takes with these letters, he re-examines his own past - and the life he might have had. Should he feel close to the biological brothers he knows only through social media? Do his beginnings in a notorious tower-block estate counteract the privilege of a sheltered suburban upbringing? How grateful should he be to adopted parents who are - in the end - simply parent? n this memoir in poetry, no emotion is simple or expected. Wright writes with pinpoint honesty, teasing out the nuances of family, memory and belonging, and illuminating the gaps in the familiar beats of an adoption story. 'When it comes to poetry, performing and family Luke Wright is a lifer. Read this book' LEMN SISSAY'Made me laugh, cry, think and shudder' PETE DOHERTY'Intimate and universal, epic and singular. Beautifully written' JOELLE TAYLOR'A genius poet - funny, profound, life-changing' JOHANN HARI

Only Sing


The never-before-published poems of one of the great American poets, edited and introduced by Shane McCrae. Only Sing is a continuation of John Berryman's vast project The Dream Songs. These 152 never-before-published poems are an expansion of this epic of the American twentieth-century psyche. In the voice and figure of Henry - riddled with desire, self-loathing and a permanent sense of being odds with the world - Berryman created, in the words of McCrae, 'a hero for a disenchanted nation'. Berryman never saw these dream songs in print but he was content that if they ever appeared, it would 'be up to the reader to fit those poems in among the published ones'.

plastic


Set during a single twelve-hour night shift in a factory, plastic is a book-length poem exploring the life of the industrial worker turned poet. Bringing together memoir, ekphrasis and satire, Bplastic is based on Matthew Rice’s experience working in a plastic moulding factory for ten years. Illustrating alienated twenty-first-century Irish labour in poetic form, plastic engages with the inflictions and implications of a ‘post-industrial’, ‘post-Troubles’ society, all while weaving in depictions of factory work from literature, film and the visual arts. Time-stamped to highlight the claustrophobia of the worker’s experience, this is a poem about feeling a calling while being submerged in the world of menial labour – making plastic airplane parts by night, making poetry by day, uniting what Jacques Ranciere calls the ‘labourers in love with the intellectual nights’ and those ‘intellectuals in love with the toilsome and glorious days of the labouring people.’ plastic’s evocation and lucidity moves with grace through working class realities and hopeful imaginings.
