To All the Women I've Ever Loved


To All the Women I’ve Ever Loved is a heartfelt love letter to the divine feminine and all the women who carry its flame, from bestselling poet Billy Chapata. Through poetry and prose, Billy Chapata—bestselling author of Velvet Dragonflies and Flowers on the Moon—lays flowers at the feet of the divine feminine, expressing deeply held gratitude and appreciation for the lovers, mothers, sisters, friends, healers, and teachers who have made his life all the more beautiful and full by shining their light on his heart, some for a lifetime, some for a chapter, and some for only a moment.   With Billy’s signature care, To All the Women I’ve Ever Loved serves as reflections on a life spent in the shadow of great women from whom he learned not only about love but about life, connection, personal growth, and how to be a man worthy of a good woman’s love. The lessons aren’t always easy, and some relationships won’t survive, but the love lives on in the memories, prayers, and poems that fill these pages.   This is for her, this is for them, this is for you.

Afterburn


'Lucid, tender and humane . . . One of the most formally agile and compassionate poets of our age’ Fiona BensonHere you are, on the balcony,the sea serenading you,the sun with its armful of light. In Afterburn, Blake Morrison returns to poetry, his first calling, to offers scenes from his own life and the lives of others. In psychology, 'afterburn' refers to the time before a past event is assimilated – an idea that resonates through these poems (which themselves linger after reading) about memory and our attempts to articulate, shape or contain it. Throughout the collection, not least in two extraordinary sequences – one about his sister, the other about Elizabeth Bishop – the poet sees with new eyes the turning points in a life's accidental course. What holds his wise, touching, melancholy yet joyful poems together are the small intimacies that bind us to others, under time’s lengthening shadow: ‘you moved too fast for me to catch you / and so did the years.’Playful and charming, sometimes rakishly so, Afterburn nevertheless reveals an open, and vulnerable, heart. ***'Distils the insights of a seasoned memoirist into images that linger long after the final page' Julia Copus'A master of the sonnet . . . I’m taking Afterburn to my desert island' Hugo Williams

A Lockdown Diary


When the Covid lockdown was imposed in 2020, Bob Ward, having had his boyhood shaped by WWII, foresaw that this would have profound effects upon community life. As an elderly man living in a rural town, there was little he could do, but he felt that this was a time to bear witness to the challenges, from the mundane to the heart-rending. By way of making a commitment to being open to whatever the experience might bring, he began to write short verses, often several on one day. He kept this up for ten weeks to create a mosaic about life under siege by an invisible force. The outcome was not simply a collection of poems, but an historical record to be set alongside other accounts of a period in our country’s life which brought significant social change. By publishing this book, the author seeks to honour all those who succumbed during the pandemic, and also those who accepted the risks of trying to save them.

Čítam, čím som bol


Už od svojho debutu bol Łukasz Jarosz, ktorý nemal ašpirácie stať sa literátom, so svojím jednoduchým a pritom mytologickým jazykom vnímaný ako solitér v kontexte mladej poľskej poézie so svojim autobiografickým príbehom, ktorý je rozpovedaný skutočne a pravdivo, cez prizmu iniciačných skúseností – zamilovanie, sex, narodenie dcéry, rozvod, smrť blízkych. Prvý slovenský výber jeho poézie predstavuje básnika súčasného života v malopoľskej dedine, v tradičnej katolíckej rodine, básnika, ktorý na rozdiel od svojich rovesníkov neopúšťa tento svet, aj keď ho prežíva s plným vedomím smrteľnosti, pozorujúc otca, ktorého život mal žiť. Tento život, ktorý číta, môže byť pre nás aj vzhľadom na kultúrnu aj teritoriálnu blízkosť nielen príťažlivý, ale aj rozpoznateľný a veľmi skutočný.

All We Are Given We Cannot Hold


All We Are Given We Cannot Hold, Robert Fanning’s fifth collection of poetry, bravely traverses wide vistas of personal and universal terrain, exploring coast and horizon for what holds us and for what we cannot hold. Exploring boundaries of love, identity and desire, of marriage and family, of human compassion and enmity, of what is given to us and what we make, the journey ends with elegies for the poet’s mother, looking through her death toward what in us is boundless, toward where the infinite begins. For fans of Dylan Thomas and Theodore Roethke, this is a lyric collection not to be missed—a core sample from the middle of life, with all of its comings and goings and grievings.

Night breaks apart, like pomegranate seeds in my palm


Aakriti Kuntal wields language like a blade and a balm, carving out poetry that is urgent and unafraid to ask what it means to exist. What does it mean to exist within language—to shape it, and in turn, to be shaped by it? In Night breaks apart, like pomegranate seeds in my palm, Aakriti Kuntal crafts poems that unravel at the edges of self and myth, where language is neither home nor escape, but a threshold to something more elemental. Her verses move like water rolling and sifting through sediment, shifting between dream and flesh. Through intimate confessions and stark observations, she confronts the absurdity of suffering, the weight of the body, and the vast, unknowable machinery of the universe. Each poem resists easy meaning, instead offering raw honesty: language as both wound and salve. For readers drawn to the introspective and the experimental, Kuntal’s poetry echoes the emotional depth of Ocean Vuong and the intellectual play of Anne Carson. This collection is for those who seek poetry not as answers, but as an experience—visceral, and unafraid to press against the limits of being.

Letters of the Alphabet Go to War

This slim book bears great weight.

44 Dotykov


Kniha 44 Dotykov je napísaná o skutočných ľudských nehmatateľných hodnotách, o Láske, nehe, úcte človeka k človeku, samozrejmostiach, na ktoré každodenne zabúdame, ktoré sú najhlbšou podstatou Života, ako i samotného bytia, jak jedinca, tak i spoločenského celku, o MIERI v nás i svete ,o každodenných maličkostiach, ktoré len tak prechádzame, akoby nikdy neexistovali, by naše srdia napĺňala dobrota, nie dnešnej doby temnota, aby národy bez vojen národmi zostali, aby v úcte sme Život čo nám Boh dal sme mali. Nezaplavovali si mysle bludami, mali silu, tú pravú ľudskú, čo v našich srdciach je, nájsť Života svojho koľaje a nebáli sa i iným pomáhať, rozsvietiť tú temnotu a kým ešte máme ten ČAS nezaháľať, ctiť TÚ MILUJÚCU MATKU ZEM, kým nezhorí života jej pochodeň. A ÚPRIMNE JU MILOVAŤ, nielen všetko mamonom DRANCOVAŤ. Tak naučíme otvoriť srdcia i schovať pretvárky masky, jak deti čisté, v náruči domova, čo hladí nám s oporou vlásky...
