Poézia. Torzo


Je báseň, ktorá vás pohladí. A báseň, ktorá vám exploduje v rukách. Michal Habaj píše, ako keby sa svet končil – a možno sa už naozaj končí. Kruté, halucinogénne, apokalyptické, pornografické a mystické. Kde sa sex stretáva s koncom kapitalizmu. Kde sa ľudstvo predáva na aukcii za jedno kliknutie. Kde aj svätci defilujú na móle. Poézia Michala Habaja. Jej čítanie vás nezachráni. Ale aspoň budete vedieť, čo vás zabíja. (Giulio Frangioni, redakcia STC) Po desiatich rokoch od vydania doteraz poslednej, doma i v zahraničí oceňovanej básnickej zbierky Caput Mortuum, prichádza autor s novou básnickou knihou Poézia. Torzo. Michal Habaj opäť ponúka básnicky originálny obraz nášho sveta plný znepokojujúcej imaginácie osnovanej okolo takých tém ako sú krása, sexualita, komodifikácia, identita, technológie, budúcnosť človeka a sveta či existenciálne otázky. Na ďalšej rovine zbierka reflektuje proces transformácie a reinterpretácie umeleckého diela. Michal Habaj (1974) básnik a literárny historik. Vydal básnické zbierky 80-967760-4-5 (1997), Gymnazistky.

An Unfamiliar Place


In mid-fourteenth-century Japan, amid decades of civil unrest caused by a violent rivalry over imperial succession, three men embarked on journeys that would lead them to reimagine their world: the second Ashikaga shogun and general Yoshiakira (1330–1367), the Buddhist lay priest Sokyu (ca. 1350), and the statesman Nijo Yoshimoto (1320–1388). All three shared elite social status, political connections, and a deep engagement with poetry. Yoshiakira traveled from Kyoto to Sumiyoshi Shrine in Osaka to pray for poetic skill; Sokyu left his home in Kyushu and wandered for three years across Honshu, visiting sites celebrated in traditional waka poetry; and Yoshimoto, after fleeing an attack on his home in Kyoto, found refuge in distant Ojima and comfort in composing poetry surrounded by "the scene of an unfamiliar place." Their memoirs, written within a decade of each other, offer important insights into how their worldviews—formed by centuries of canonical literature and court traditions—were increasingly challenged by their encounters with new situations and territory, landscapes they would capture from perspectives of absence and erasure. An Unfamiliar Place examines how these three traveler-poets used both literal and metaphorical "unfamiliar places" as sites of expressive power, to not only explore novel ways of existing in and moving through the world, but also reassess their assumptions about the social and cultural significance of geographic space.

Ak vieš o čom hovorím


Emocionálne ladené spomienkové skice a nekrológy v básnickej zbierke Martina Prebudilu, najmä v jej prvej časti s názvom Maliari básnici a iné svety, majú očarujúcu atmosféru melancholického básnenia opojeného krásou i múdrosťou, vzdialenou z hľadiska času, ale aj bližšou z hľadiska prežívania, neraz smutnou, no vždy nádejnou vo svojom lyrickom obsahu, vnútri tajomnej inšpirácie, ktorú môže poskytovať aj smútok, aj trpkosť minulých chvíľ, nenávratne vzdialených. V cykle Ak vieš o čom hovorím sa čitateľa dotkne závan domova, sebahľadania, sebareflexie, sebaanalýzy na pozadí vzťahov s inými. Momenty jemnej erotiky, záblesky strachu i porozumenia, odtiene smrti a milovania, úlomky našich snov a zmarených túžob, samoty a ľúbostného vzťahu. V poézii Martina Prebudilu ide predovšetkým o vzťahy, o vzájomné dotyky, o spolu­ nažívanie a najmä o spolu­ prežívanie, o začiatok a koniec života, o Boha, o lásku.

Leaving the Shore


“Poetry is the voice of the soul, and in this beautiful collection, Colette Lafia brings us into the joys and sorrows of life, revealing how God''s enduring love is present in all we experience.” —Richard Rohr, author of The Tears of Things Poems and related practices for a more contemplative life. Leaving the Shore is a collection of poems with the intent of creating contemplative experiences for readers. The author has added guided Lectio Divina (sacred readings) and writing/journaling prompts, so that readers can pray and reflect with the poems. Each poem is about some aspect of living the spiritual path: the desire to reach beyond what we know, the longing to step into the Divine Mystery, and the commitment to live in an intimate exchange of love with the Holy. An experienced spiritual director, Lafia draws on her commitment to the contemplative life. These poems are an expression of contemplation in action as they explore the Holy in moments of daily living: within a marriage, while assisting a loved one dying, in the creative act of painting, and more. They are inspired by writings of the mystics, in particular Mechthild of Magdeburg and St. John of the Cross, and suffused with surrender, love, and awe. They invite the reader into prayer, self-reflection, and seeing their own lives as sacred texts.

Collected Poems and Other Verse


''sense too definite cancels yourindistinct literature''Stéphane Mallarmé was the most radically innovative of nineteenth-century poets. His writings, with their richly sensuous texture and air of slyly intangible mystery, perplexed or outraged many early readers; yet no writer has more profoundly influenced the course of modern poetry - in English as well as in French. In both form and content, his poems created new ways of conveying existential doubt, fragmentation, and discontinuity. This is the fullest collection of Mallarmé''s poetry ever published in English, and the only edition in any language that presents his Poésies in the last arrangement known to have been approved by the author. Apart from verse, it includes all the prose poems and the unique, unclassifiable Un Coup de dés... (A Dice Throw...). The lucid, wide-ranging introduction and invaluable notes help an understanding of this astonishing poet''s work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Poetry of Emily Dickinson


Four volumes of Emily Dickinson’s memorable and moving poetry are collected in this aesthetically appealing edition.The Poetry of Emily Dickinson is a collection of pieces by 19th-century American poet Emily Dickinson, who insisted that her life of isolation gave her an introspective and deep connection with the world. As a result, her work parallels her life—misunderstood in its time, but full of depth and imagination, and covering such universal themes as nature, art, friendship, love, society, mortality, and more. During Dickinson’s lifetime, only seven of her poems were published, but after her death, her prolific writings were discovered and shared. With this volume, readers can dive into the now widely respected poetry of Emily Dickinson.

Water to Water


In 2009, prompted by the Israeli siege of Gaza, Palestinian American poet Deema Shehabi and Jewish American poet Marilyn Hacker started a correspondence. It took the form of responding to each other''s poems. They resumed their poetic dialogue by email after Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023. Their project involved an alternating call and response between them in the tradition of the Japanese renga form, each poet picking up a word, phrase, or image from the poem preceding. The result is a fascinating poetic conversation. The two poetic voices are beautifully meshed together, so that it actually reads as one long poem. The poetry is rich in vivid imagery, leaving lasting impressions along with the emotions it evokes-such as the feelings unrest and exile. While television and social media present images of the world''s reaction to this genocide on the surface, this book offers an intimate glimpse into the thoughts of these two poets wrangling with the devastation and fallout. WATER TO WATER: Gaza Renga is a dignified celebration of humanity in and among atrocities. Although triggered by events in Gaza, it weaves in other conflicts past and present. Through its pages, the words transcend differences, linking individual voices into a collective expression of grief, hope, and defiance. It reminds us that even in devastation, poetry can bear witness, ignite healing, and inspire compassion and connection.

Collected Poems


SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALCOTT PRIZE'Her poetry stands unsurpassed in its popularity and technical accomplishment - there's no better contemporary writer of forms such as the triolet - and in the wit, acuity and seriousness of purpose with which she shows us what it is to be human.' GuardianThis volume comprises the full poetic works of one of our wittiest, most beloved writers, and includes many previously uncollected poems. When Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis was published in 1986, Wendy Cope became that rarest of creatures: a celebrated poet who was also a best-seller. Her artful combination of insight and wit made an extraordinary impact in poems that cocked a gentle snook at the pomposity of a literary world hitherto dominated by men. Through four further collections, Cope has continued to delight her readers while finding a whole new generation of enthusiasts when her poem 'The Orange' went viral. Together these poems catalogue the desires and fears that underlie our ordinary existences - love and heartbreak, disappointment and a hard-won capacity to find happiness, even if only in the form of a poem.. In their profound attention to and encapsulation of the everyday, these poems serve to make our own lives the more remarkable and memorable. Collected Poems celebrates a lifetime's achievement by a poet who has been original and distinctive from the very start, and provides the perfect accompaniment to the trials, tribulations and joys of our all too human lives. This collection also features Nick Garland's original illustrations for The River Girl (1991). 'Her poetry stands unsurpassed in its popularity and technical accomplishment - there's no better contemporary writer of forms such as the triolet - and in the wit, acuity and seriousness of purpose with which she shows us what it is to be human.' Rishi Dastidar, Guardian'We can love Wendy Cope's words . . . for the rhymes they reveal but also for the sad truths they speak.' Adam Gopnik, New Yorker 'One has to go back to Byron to find a poet as consistently witty, wide-ranging and technically outstanding as Cope.' Los Angeles Review of Books'We need not wonder at Wendy Cope's continued, wide appeal. She writes poems that people want to read, and this is how poems survive.' Literary Review'Wit and heart? Cope's fans should rest assured there are enough gems here with both.' Telegraph 'Wendy Cope's real strength lies not in charm or insight (she has buckets of both) but in the pitch-perfect exactitude of her writing.' Sunday Times'Her poems are moving, memorable, funny, clever; they alert readers to what it means to be human.' PN Review'Any book of [Cope's] work is a national treasure chest ... her work has, with care and precision, given us pathways to negotiate the world ... Her Collected Poems is as human as an embrace.' Ian McMillan, BBC Radio 4's The Verb

Dobrou noc, Vincente

Ve sbírce se cyklí několik ústředních motivů, Irsko, oceán, Vincent van Gogh a keramika. Básně jsou plné líčení a barevných metafor, a přitom zůstávají syrové a pokroucené jako stromy z Van Goghových obrazů. Citlivě je doprovázejí akvarelové ilustrace, které vás ještě více vtáhnou do snového světa.

the heart is a holding


the heart is a holding is a visceral journey through birth, life and death cycles across personal, intergenerational and ancestral time. A journey to call in states of repair and collective liberation. These words call us into relationship, inviting us into the role of witness, to set intention and feel into the echoes and desires of Freedom. Lateisha speaks into the waves, currents and somatic archive of the runaway, the fugitive, the marooned ones to help them return to their dreams and no longer shoulder the traumas of erasure. Each poem, text and world-building script is ritual, meditation to alchemise pain, loss and grief as intimate reflections of love, anger and hope through the medicine of connection.

The Long Take


Shortlisted for the Man Booker PrizeWinner of the Goldsmiths Prize Winner of The Roehampton Poetry Prize Winner of the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction‘Bold, brilliant . . . this is as poignant and visual as classic film noir’ - Ian Rankin‘An incredible achievement’ - Irvine Welsh‘This book will shift something in your soul’ - Elif ShafakWalker is a D-Day veteran with post-traumatic stress disorder; he can’t return home to rural Nova Scotia, and looks instead to the city for freedom, anonymity and repair. As he moves from New York to Los Angeles and San Francisco we witness a crucial period of fracture in American history, one that also allowed film noir to flourish. The Dream had gone sour but – as those dark, classic movies made clear – the country needed outsiders to study and dramatize its new anxieties. While Walker tries to piece his life together, America is beginning to come apart: deeply paranoid, doubting its own certainties, riven by social and racial division, spiralling corruption and the collapse of the inner cities. Robin Robertson’s The Long Take is the story of a good man, brutalized by war, haunted by violence and apparently doomed to return to it – yet resolved to find kindness again, in the world and in himself. Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

Something about Living


Something About Living is the brilliant third collection from acclaimed poet Lena Khalaf Tuffaha. It explores Palestinian life through the lens of language, revealing a legacy of obfuscation and erasure. What happens when language only permits ongoing disasters to be packaged neatly for consumption and subsequent disposal? Searing with insights from the perspective of a Palestinian in diaspora, Something About Living refuses to cede ground to nihilism and apathy, taking the reader through the difficult landscape of hope and futurity in the midst of an interminable, uncertain, and often devastating present.

82nd Division


THE POEMS IN 82ND DIVISION, written in various poetic forms such as the villanelle, sonnet, blues poem, duplex, ode, and dramatic monologue, among many others, are collectively a love song to the author''s native Nigeria-a former British colony. In the book, whose title poem chronicles the lives of West African soldiers who fought alongside the British in World War II, Aderibigbe examines his homeland''s colonized past with brutal clarity and striking musicality, and considers how this past continues to shape every facet of his life and contemporary Nigerian life-be it the holidays that are celebrated, the preferred language of interaction among peers and friends, how a mother expresses love to her child, or the type of movies and snacks consumed. Beyond its thematic unity, lustrous language, and formal virtuosity, this sparkling collection is tied together by Aderibigbe''s graceful exploration of the humanity of the people, landscape, and histories that populate the book''s pages.

Mary Barnard


The most comprehensive collection of writing by award-winning US poet, renowned translator of Sappho, and trailblazing archivist Mary Barnard. Born in the Pacific Northwest, Mary Barnard (1909–2001) struck up correspondence with Ezra Pound in 1933, won Poetry magazine's prestigious Levinson Award in 1935, and moved to New York City the following year. There she met Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams, who proclaimed her writing emblematic of "what we have been about all these years." This fully annotated volume makes available Barnard's complete poems for the first time, along with a robust selection of her translations and prose. Most well-known for her bestselling Sappho and her influential role as the inaugural poetry curator at the University at Buffalo, Barnard was a "second-wave" modernist and "late" Imagist whose regionally grounded writing also anticipated later eco-poetry. The volume's editor, Barnard scholar and biographer Sarah Barnsley, situates Barnard's work within these broader literary and cultural currents. Previously unpublished poems appear alongside Barnard's essays on her creative practice and friendships, illuminating the career, oeuvre, and ethos of this pivotal yet still underappreciated twentieth-century figure. With a foreword by Mary de Rachewiltz (author of Ezra Pound, Father and Teacher) and afterword by Barnard's literary executor Elizabeth J. Bell, Mary Barnard is essential reading for poets, scholars, and translators.

A Grain of Sand in Lambeth


In A Grain of Sand in Lambeth, poetry becomes a lens through which to explore the complex, visionary world of William Blake. Drawing on Blake’ s own rejection of tradition and his relentless quest to challenge the boundaries of art, Geoffrey Babbitt confronts the tensions between genius and convention, life and death, light and dark. Each poem in this collection inhabits a moment of Blake's life, offering a vivid glimpse into his unique perspective - a perspective that rejected the normative for the transformative power of imagination. From his visionary watercolors to his provocative views on oil painting, these poems draw readers into Blake's world, where reality and the unseen converge in prismatic intensity. A Grain of Sand in Lambeth is an invitation to experience the world through Blake's eyes - a world where imagination reigns supreme and art is a living force.
