Uprostřed konce


Libor Prudký je znám jako sociolog. Teprve v pozdním věku se začal věnovat poesii, sbírka Uprostřed konce, v pořadí třetí, je dílo vyzrálé a neobvyklé. Konečnost života, účtování, vnímání Boží přítomnosti a blízkosti smrti jsou témata, která nejenže nerezonují v soudobé české poesii ale byla vytlačena i z běžného života.

Howl


Drawn from fifty years of experimental, ground-breaking verse, this selection, in Ginberg's words 'summarizes what I deem most honest, most penetrant of my writing'.

Intensely personal and incandescently brilliant, Howl and Other Poems is a core Ginsberg text, and celebrates 'Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!'

PORTAL


Tracy Fuad’s second collection of poems, PORTAL, probes the fraught experience of bringing a new life into a world that is both lush and filled with gloom. A baby is born in a brutalist building; the planet shrinks under the new logic of contagion; roses washed up from a shipwreck centuries ago are blooming up and down the cape. PORTAL documents a life that is mediated, even at its most intimate moments, by flattening interfaces of technology and in which language—and even intelligence—is no longer produced only by humans. The voices here are stalked by eco-grief and loneliness, but they also brim with song and ecstasy, reveling in the strangeness of contemporary life while grieving losses that cannot be restored. Through Fuad’s frank, honest poetry, PORTAL vibrates with pleasure and dread.

Menagerie Street


Menagerie Street is a striking debut poetry collection inspired by Thrutopia, a movement where we move through future difficulty, in hope without being naive. Formally playful and emotionally generous, Hilary Watson’s poems move between humour and gravity, attentive to animals, landscapes, queer desire, bodies, and forms of kinship that resist easy definition. This collection is full of wit, tenderness, and formal invention. Alive to the ethical pressures of a precarious world, this debut asks how we live, love, and act together, offering poems that are by turns funny, unsettling, and quietly exhilarating.

Průstřely na nočním nebi


Než se Ocean Vuong celosvětově proslavil románem Na Zemi jsme na okamžik nádherní, byl především básníkem. Jeho debutová sbírka je směsicí křehkosti a síly. V básních, které čerpají z válečných zkušeností, kulturní rozpolcenosti i osobních ztrát, autor hledá jazyk pro lásku, bolest, paměť a touhu. Jeho verše jsou obrazné, hudebně laděné, a přitom nekompromisně tělesné – dokážou být něžné i surové v jediné větě. Vuong s citlivostí i odvahou zachycuje, jak se historie vpíjí do života jednotlivce.

Odviate časom


Pri čítaní veršov tejto zbierky sa čitateľ ocitne: Na lúke poľných kvetov. Nad mestom. V doline pod gotickými vežami tatranských štítov. Ale i hlboko v mrazivom tichu polárnej krajiny, kde tancujú hviezdy na zelenej oblohe. Je to pre čitateľa kľúč, aby mohol vstúpiť do autorovho sveta poézie.

Eating Air


Steam rises from bowls of noodle soup, tender steaks are seared in butter, sand-roasted chestnuts are shared from a paper bag. Suyin Du Bois's Eating Air is a mouth-watering book of poems about food, belonging and connection. Charting a journey across cuisines and continents, these poems carve into the author’s dual Chinese-Malaysian and Belgian heritage and food’s enduring role in our cultural, familial and personal histories. From the low stools of Penang’s kopitiams to the bright lights of London’s Chinatown, Eating Air is a love song to food and a poignant catalogue of its profound capacity to serve up memory, language, and longing.

The Never Was


A poetic celebration embracing our unfinished, imperfect, and authentic selves.The Never Was is a deeply personal return from bestselling poet Tyler Knott Gregson. Known for his intimate typewritten verse, Gregson turns inward with raw honesty, reflecting on identity, diagnosis, and the quiet beauty in the incomplete.  Prompted by a late-in-life autism diagnosis, Gregson revisits a series of poetic fragments—unfinished lines once cast aside—that now reveal themselves as essential expressions of his neurodivergent experience. Interwoven with new poems, these pieces form a deeply human tapestry of vulnerability, self-discovery, and grace.This is a book for anyone who has felt unseen, misunderstood, or like they didn’t quite fit. The Never Was is a celebration of the imperfect, a testament to the healing power of art, and a reminder that even the fragments can hold a whole world.

The Adept


In a cold, hard city, Chresta and Eran are searching…Interrogating their story in lyric poetry, The Adept examines the frequent disconnect between urbanites living side by side and the dangerous power relations in unorthodox belief systems — colloquially, cults and the cult-like. Our protagonists wrestle with their need for engagement in a world of increasing isolation via home offices and online fora. With the metaverse just around the corner, Chresta and Eran encounter callous users preying on the disenfranchised alongside, potentially, offerings of something profound — a sense of belonging in an increasingly fragmented world.

Hell Yeah


Hell Yeah, Rachelle Toarmino’s highly anticipated second collection of poems, is an intimate, ecstatic examination of the wonders of common speech. As automatic and wholehearted as a hell yeah between friends, the poems interject into various sites of the interpersonal—from a work email and doctor’s office to a long-distance call and Yahoo! Answers rabbit hole—to measure the strange, mundane, and ancient ways we relate and respond to one another. In an alternating rhythm of logic and lyric, doubt and doubling down, Toarmino regifts plain and inherited language to arrive at a theory for familiarity and something like faith: how we know what we know and why we share what we know. With curiosity, generosity, oddball intellect, and charm, Hell Yeah captures that gut impulse to feel yes, say so, and sing it.

Rope


Language is the labyrinth we're enmeshed in, and any line of exploration we think is leading us out only adds a further strand to the entanglement. Rope presents an alluring and provocative array of insights as it follows a mind on the move, ever curious and restlessly making connections. Nuggets of wisdom, snippets of anecdote and choice quotations are collected here, signposted by suggestive shoulder notes. Together they form a kind of contemporary commonplace book, accumulating with associative loops and echoes. Across three prose sections, Maurice Riordan knots together strands including scientific inquiry, colour theory and AI, philosophy, ethics and psychoanalysis. There are instructive revelations about the art of poetry, about all literature - whether the 'folly of literary ambition' or the 'sinuous garland of plagiarism' - gleaned from a lifetime of reading and writing. The middle section delves into the author's personal history, evoking a childhood in rural Cork - 'I was born into a horse-drawn candlelit world' - and a 'new self' forged in fatherhood. Riordan is an intimate and jocular narrator throughout, calling upon everyone from Shakespeare to Schrödinger, Sappho to Siri in the shaping of these piquant and unforgettable discoveries.

Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta


Po úspešných a vypredaných básnických zbierkach Striptíz, Na!, Básničky pre domáce paničky, Večný pocit nedele a Dom, vydáva slovenská poetka Mirka Ábelová novú básnickú zbierku. Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta patrí k jej najosobnejším a najsilnejším knihám. Slovenská poetka Mirka Ábelová prichádza so svojou šiestou básnickou zbierkou s názvom Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta. Nová kniha jednej z najvýraznejších osobností súčasnej slovenskej poézie preniká do najtemnejších vrstiev ľudskej psychiky a skúma, ako trauma z detstva formuje naše prežívanie, vzťahy aj schopnosť hovoriť o bolesti. Kniha je rozdelená do dvoch častí – Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta a Život vo zvláštnom svete. Kým prvá zachytáva postupné odhaľovanie traumatického zážitku, druhá sa sústreďuje na osobné a vzťahové básne o snahe prežiť v „novovzniknutom zvláštnom svete“. „Zbierka Mirky Ábelovej sa stáva silným svedectvom o tom, ako žiť ďalej a vyrovnať sa s momentom, ktorý navždy zmenil tvár nášho sveta. Autorke sa podarilo zachytiť nesmierne komplexnú skúsenosť, ktorá v sebe nesie telesnosť, pamäť aj priestor, a práve tým naplno odhaľuje svoje poetické majstrovstvo” Marek Debnár

Noty samoty


"Chvíľa, raz pred šťastnými očami a raz plnými bolestí, nedáva na výber ich želaniam ani sile. Možno sa bojím, že zaniknú ľudia a že zabudnú vyslovovať slová ľudskosti. Ťažko zmeniť osud i preskočiť prekvapenie akokoľvek cnostný by bol náš život. No viem, že aj v najťažších chvíľach trápenia pomôže ľudské slovo. Ak to nevznikne, zanikne život." Denisa Stanislavová
