Into the Hush
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD A PEN / JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD FINALIST'Wise, beguiling... a treasure and a beacon of a poet, whose indispensable body of work offers no less than a way to navigate this world' Sarah HoweA new collection and first UK publication from the Poet Laureate of the United StatesArthur Sze has long been renowned for his constellation of vision and generous imagination – able to hold the aspen leaf and the mountain range, the water droplet and the crashing surf in the same stunning poetic field. Turning his attention to habitat destruction, language extinction, mortality and so much more, Into the Hush sketches a world slipping into silence, asking what we lose to it, what emerges, and what can be held in its aperture. Sze draws together a startling array of imagery in these quietly forceful poems that render our complex universe with profound simplicity and clarity. Sze’s lyric voice – which at times inhabits the body of a jaguar and even an eraser – moves between chaos and stillness with supple agility, challenging our notions of traditional poetic forms such as the haibun, zuihitsu, sonnet and pantoum to break open new avenues of expression that speak to our fragmented world. Attuned to the underlying network that connects all things, Into the Hush charts a thrilling journey from silence into sound, from emptiness into the rich possibilities of existence.
Monologue of a Dog
“A Szymborska poem is always charming, wonderfully charming, charming as a small child singing, charming as a great pop-song lyric. But her poems are also, to use an old word, ‘deep,’ mysteriously so, about the very nature of existence.” —Adam Gopnick, the New YorkerFrom the Nobel Prize winner, a classic collection of witty and contemplative poems, featuring a foreword by Billy CollinsIn Monologue of a Dog, Wislawa Szymborska writes with her signature mix of intellect and humor about everything from love unremembered to keys lost in the grass, finding in the smallest moments a path to the vast questions of existence. What begins as a passing thought ends, in her hands, as an x-ray of the human condition. This bilingual edition, with translations from the incomparable Clare Kavanagh, serves as a perfect introduction for new readers and an essential companion for devoted fans.
Autobiografia Červeného
Autobiografia Červeného (Autobiography of Red) je jedným z najznámejších diel kanadskej literárnej hviezdy Anne Carson. Tento „román vo veršoch“ sa hrá s fragmentárnym dielom starogréckeho básnika Stesichora a pretvára ho do modernej podoby. V Stesichorovej poéme Herakles zabije okrídleného netvora Géryona, aby získal jeho stádo červeného dobytka. Carson si Géryona predstavuje po svojom: ako dospievajúceho červeného chlapca s krídlami, ktorý sa prvý raz zamiluje. Herakles vystúpi z medzimestskej linky na autobusovej stanici, vkročí Géryonovi do života a zlomí mu srdce. Autorka jedinečným štýlom plným intelektu a vtipu zachytáva prchavé okamžiky mladosti, keď sa stávame sami sebou. Autobiografia Červeného je kniha o láske, bolesti a umeleckej tvorbe.
Antediluvian
Written in part during the COVID-19 pandemic, the book’s speaker calls on an intertextual constellation of artists as they attempt to wade through agoraphobia, parse out their relationship with God, and navigate falling in love.
Prelínanie
Druhá zbierka poézie Bibiany Buchelovej je akýmsi vnútorným pokračovaním prvej zbierky, v ktorej autorka zároveň rozširuje a prehlbuje svoj poetický záber. Básne, ktoré sú intímnymi lyrickými reflexiami, sa okrem precíznej práce so slovom a zaujímavým pohľadom na možno bežné témy života, akými sú partnerské vzťahy, láska medzi mužom a ženou, vrúcny vzťah k deťom a rodine, vyznačujú krásnou symbiózou s krajinou, prírodou doma, na Slovensku, ale aj na cestách a prinášajú pozitívny čitateľský zážitok. To ale neznamená, že autorka vo svojej poézii nie je citlivá aj na temnejšie stránky života. S nesmiernou vnímavosťou zaznamenáva aj rodinné tragédie, smrť priateľky ako aj vlastné ťaživé emócie. Básne sú zrelou reflexiou, prelínaním všetkých vrstiev i farieb života, napísané básnickými prostriedkami, ktoré sa vynárajú nenútene a prirodzene, akoby rástli z vnútornej potreby autorky vyjadriť intímne nálady a vnútorné súvislosti.
The Planets
From Marginalian Editions comes a gorgeous reissue of celebrated poet and naturalist Diane Ackerman’s debut: a soaring ode to our solar system, planet to planet, blending science and imagination, astronomy and cosmology, as well as fantasy, satire, myth, and reflection. First published in 1973, The Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral introduced not only a splendid new poet but a whole new adventure in poetry. With bravura style, unbridled imagination, and a connoisseur's eye for precise scientific detail, Diane Ackerman’s debut brought us an unforgettable ode to each planet in our solar system, not to mention the moon, the comet Kohoutek, and the asteroid belt, as well as strange voyages to the stars, the bottom of the sea, through the human body, and into the mind. Diane Ackerman herself says: “I’ve always been baffled by people who write about nature only in terms of, say, junipers and cornfields, eschewing all things so-called ‘scientific,’ as if science were, per se, the spoil-sport of feeling. So wonderless a view of nature really doesn’t appeal to me.” The Planets is a rare fusion of art and science—one of the great poetic works of cosmic imagination.
Ithaca
Ithaca consists of sixty sonnets divided into two equal parts, “Ithaca” and “Gifts Reserved for Age.” In Homer’s Odyssey, Ithaca is the island home to which the hero returns after twenty years of war and perilous adventures. In Lehman’s “Ithaca” sequence, two phrases are strategically repeated, with variations: “Happy the man who . . .” and “What did he believe in?” In “Gifts Reserved for Age,” the restless traveler continues to recollect and make sense of his life. Ultimate questions are raised: Does God exist? Can art redeem reality and not just contrive ways to escape from it? What are the compensatory “gifts” that accompany growing old? Lehman, who has resided for many years in Ithaca, New York, does inventive things with the sonnet as a form and the sonnet sequence as the organizing principle of a unified book. Rich in allusion, not only to Homer’s epic but to a shelf of important writers and thinkers, Ithaca is a witty and erudite book for grown-up readers who look to poetry for inspiration, profundity, and intellectual stimulation.

Fear Less
The Pulitzer Prize–winning poet reveals how poetry is a powerful tool of connection and understanding in a fractured world
Drawing on deep passion and personal experience, former US Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith demystifies the art form that has too often been mischaracterised as “inaccessible”, “irrelevant” or “intimidating”. She argues that poetry is rooted in fundamentally human qualities innate to our capacities to love, dream, question and engage across diverse cultures and backgrounds. Lifting the veil on her own creative process, Smith shows us how reading and writing poetry allows us to confront life’s many uncertainties and losses, to build camaraderie with strangers and to understand ourselves. She grounds readers in the technical elements of the craft and provides close readings of the works of contemporary poets, alongside classic poems. By reimagining and re-examining the age-old art form, Fear Less is a warm invitation to find meaning, consolation and hope through poetry.

Bielou cestou si ma viedla
Výber z celoživotnej tvorby Antonia Machada (1875 – 1939), jedného z najsilnejších španielskych básnikov prvej polovice 20. storočia, prináša poéziu presvedčivej emócie a účinnej prostoty.
Popri melancholickej lyrike, v ktorej pokračuje v cykle reagujúcom na smrť mladučkej manželky, a neskorších básňach venovaných novej „zakázanej“ láske sa predstavuje viacrozmerným reflektovaním kastílskej krajiny, osobitne jej temnej tváre.
Temné rozmery jeho poézie akoby predznamenávali, že sa autor stane obeťou občianskej vojny.

The Bridge
Hart Crane’s modernist masterpiece The Bridge has steadily grown in stature since its 1930 publication. Once dismissed by influential critics as a noble failure, a view that hardened into conventional wisdom, it is now widely regarded as one of the major achievements of twentieth-century American poetry. The poem unites mythology and modernity to reckon with the promises, kept and broken, of American experience. The Bridge is challenging in the best sense, exacting and ultimately rewarding. Beloved yet often misunderstood, it threads indirect and finely grained allusions through period-specific references to 1920s life that can elude contemporary readers. Crane’s elaborate compound metaphors braid disparate sources, making the poem’s movement at times hard to track. Its topical and geographic markers call not only for identification but for explanation. Without specialized knowledge, much of it not readily available even online, many passages remain opaque. Until now, there was no single, convenient resource to help readers unlock Crane’s vision. This book is that guide. Its detailed, far-reaching annotations make The Bridge fully accessible, whether you are a scholar, a student, or a devoted reader of poetry.
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.
All of My Days
All Of My Days is the first collection of poetry from writer Kerri Cunningham, aka Murphy’s Sketches. Her poems have been shared far and wide across the globe as thousands of mothers found comfort and joy in her words. Now those poems and more are together in these pages. Whether you’re a new mum or your children are growing up fast, these poems will take you from those early days, to preparing for school and beyond. Celebrating the magic in the everyday moments, both the good and the bad days, they seek to bring mums together and unite them in the beautiful experience that is being a mother. Sitting alongside beautiful illustrations by Kerri, the poems in All Of My Days will make you smile and cry all on one page. You’ll want to share it with every mum you know.
Ethnology
Ethnology draws on the mystical cry for the dead of Cathy Galvin's Irish-speaking ancestors. Within an epic narrative she reclaims place, people and language, creating a bridge between our own times and a Connemara community on the margins of Europe. Drawing on classic forms within literary and oral traditions, Ethnology becomes a love song for Connemara, witness to vivid encounters: between the living and the dead and between the poets, folklorists and ethnologists who have written about the West of Ireland for their own agendas. In her first full-length book of poetry, fragility and strength are finely balanced, focused on the ruins of an island cottage built by her great-grandfather. Here, Cathy Galvin locates both mourning, humour and joy. The poems give a vivid, original voice to the tradition of keening, of honouring the loss of those we love.

Afterlife
Polly Clark’s poetry inhabits a world that is strange, unsettling, and edged with danger. Her debut, Kiss (2000), journeys inward, exploring the self with an unflinching gaze, before Take Me with You (2005) turns outward to question how we connect – with others, with the wider world, with the unknown. In these collections, her characters, both human and animal, speak in many voices, illuminating the moments when we are most alive – and most alone. Farewell My Lovely (2009) grapples with the price of survival, charting the experience of leaving one's life behind and returning as a stranger. By turns moving and darkly comic, these poems examine the ways we cling to who we were, even as certainty dissolves and the past slips beyond reach. This retrospective of her poetry opens with a magical new collection – also called Afterlife – in which there are no physical limits, nothing is stable and the world is distilled to its elements. The traumatic experience of rape transforms a girl into a tiger, and a tiger into a girl; a whale embraces both air and water until forced to inhabit only one by jealous fish. The poems grapple with the inexplicable nature of some experience, suggesting that we are most real in that mysterious space between living and dying. Polly Clark is an award-winning poet and novelist. Her first collection, Kiss, was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Her second,Take Me with You, a Poetry Book Society Choice, was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.
Noon
Two brothers wrestle, a bird lies in a young boy’s hand, an entire field lives within the eye of a needle. Noon is a sparkling debut from Birmingham-born poet Zain Rishi, exploring home, family and faith. From the heat of the school relay and his grandmother’s Kashmiri chai to the images of a young man kissing a city goodbye, these poems chart a coming-of-age journey across place, sexuality and family ties. Rich in its interrogation of language and inheritance across generations, Noon announces Zain Rishi as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.
History of the Child
History of the Child is a highly evocative exploration of childhood, memory, and imagination, blending personal and historical perspectives. The book’s themes include parenting, grief, nature, emotional recovery and connections to the past, guided by the idea of childhood as a transformative and rebellious space. The first of its four sections features poems about Katherine of Aragon, the Vestal Virgins, Stanley Spencer and Wallace Stevens, with a focus on grief, nature, and animals. ?The second, Book of Lullabies, steps closer to the theme of the child, with poems about memory, inwardness, climate change, sexuality in older age, and the natural world. ?The third part, History of the Child, is a journey back to Penelope Shuttle's own childhood, blending personal memories with imagined perspectives to explore psychological crises, emotional recovery, and the traumas of childhood. ? It introduces an ‘alternative girl child self’, inspired by Persian legends, by her late husband Peter Redgrove’s dream of such a girl (‘my death, and she is my soul’), and by a friend’s fanciful wish. The culminating fourth section is a playful sequence about a little table, inspired by her mother and her childhood. ? The table symbolises connection to her mother, who lived to be 100 years old, and their shared history. ?Penelope Shuttle's History of the Child is guided by themes of memory, imagination, foreboding, magic, history and humour, and seeks to articulate the essence of ‘being’ through fiery language and elemental imagery. ? She draws inspiration from Donald Winnicott’s concept of the ‘potentive space’ where play, fantasy and reality intersect.
