Devil's Piece


In Devil’s Piece loss, absence, mental illness and pain are examined with a lens so clear and lucid, the heart aches. Yet in that clarity, there is a savouring of the smallest things and a permeability to love and life that creates songs of what might have been dirges. There is no dressing up of reality, no pretence that everything is well, but in these fearless, precise poems there is transformation. An exquisite collection.

Prague in Thaw / Praha za času plujících ker


Básnická sbírka profesora Rio Preisnera Prague in Thaw (Praha za časů plujících ker) vyšla poprvé česky roku 1992 v nakladatelství Pražská imaginace. Šlo o první básnické dílo, které bylo vydáno v jeho původní domovině od chvíle, kdy ji v roce 1968 opustil. K napsání sbírky ho inspirovala jeho první návštěva vlasti po osvobození Československa ze sovětské hegemonie v roce 1990. Nakladatelství Munipress knihu připravilo v dvojjazyčném vydání, český originál je doplněn anglickým překladem Charlese S. Kraszewského, studenta R. Preisnera. Verše jsou psány náročným, náznakovým stylem, který připomíná Georga Trakla či T. S. Eliota, a představuje autorův způsob, jak se vypořádat s Československem v okamžiku, kdy se vynořovalo z pěti desetiletí komunistického útlaku. Nejde o dílo nostalgické, spíše o střízlivý a nezkreslený pohled na Prahu a na českou společnost a kulturu tak, jak je exulant po více než dvaceti letech odloučení znovu zakusil. Původně sbírka vznikla jako úvaha nad tím, jak „porobení“ poznamenalo Prahu, kterou autor miloval; dnes, s odstupem tří desetiletí české svobody, je však na místě číst ji jako východisko pro vlastní zamyšlení nad tím, jakou cestu Praha a Češi od osvobození přineseného sametovou revolucí urazili.

I Have a Home, There Is a We


I Have a Home, There Is a We, whose original Swahili edition was in 2015 the first book of poetry to win the Safal-Cornell Kiswahili Prize for African Literature, brings the acclaimed verse of prolific Zanzibari poet, journalist, and cultural changemaker Mohammed Khelef Ghassani to English-language readers for the first time. The book explores the poet's life as a migrant in Germany: linguistic and cultural alienation, nostalgia, and longing for his homeland on the island of Pemba. These poems form a catalog of sorrow and love addressed to the family he left behind, to the children whose roots "he tore forcefully from the ground" in hopes of offering them a better life, and above all to the country he calls home, using the deeply resonant Swahili term "kwetu"—our place—named over and over again as Zanzibar. Utilizing the structured verse forms of traditional Swahili prosody, the collection is modern, unique, and innovative, speaking to a global diasporic experience even as it draws deeply on an idiom specific to the poet's tiny island home. A ripple of political defiance suffuses the poems as Ghassani positions himself against layered forms of oppression and marginalization both at home and abroad in this synthesis of love song, lamentation, and freedom declaration.

The Whole Earth Is a Garden of Monsters / Toda La Tierra Es Un Jardin De Monstruos


Winner of the 2025 Ambroggio Prize This award-winning bilingual collection intertwines the lives of a Renaissance painter and a modern migrant worker, offering a fresh perspective on art and migration. In this highly imaginative work, the lives of the northern Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450–1516) and an imagined contemporary migrant worker named Juan Coyoc, later known as Juan DomÍnguez, run in parallel as they mirror each other across languages, time, and continents. By comparing and at times intertwining these two poetic narratives, the book explores themes of art, migration, narco-violence, family, spirituality, and the idea that every human being represents all humanity at any moment in history. Both Hieronymus Bosch and Juan DomÍnguez become relatable and intimate figures, part of our own story. Written in simple, sharp language, the book employs surprising imagery and a novel structure to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, while examining the intricacies of the human condition—from the life of Saint Anthony to the violent acts of narcos across Central America and the U.S.-Mexico border. With formal sophistication and philosophical depth, this work enriches the tradition of poetry about both migration and art, contributing to the literary heritage of Mexico and the United States over the past several decades.

Coda


Experimental lyric and narrative poetry that brings together philosophy, theology, and humor.   The nameless narrator of Coda attempts to trace the origins of linguistic and perceptual differentiation by experimenting with contemporary lyric and narrative forms. Moving between extravagant prosody and obsessive disquisition, Seidenberg’s poetry works to reconfigure conceptual imperatives found throughout philosophy and theology. With a focus on the structure of memory and the decadence of the body, Seidenberg describes the epistemological regress of desire, intention, knowledge, and discernment.   Seidenberg brings together the language and concerns of figures including Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Wittgenstein, alongside elements of raucous humor drawn from the tradition of Rabelais, Beckett, Lispector, and Sterne.

Even Time Bleeds


A vibrant and compelling bilingual edition of poems by the acclaimed Mexican writer Jeanette Lozano Clariond, translated by Pulitzer Prize–winner Forrest GanderEven Time Bleeds is a revelatory selection of the work of Jeannette Lozano Clariond, a major contemporary Mexican poet known for her sensuous lyricism and philosophical gravity. Translated and introduced by Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Forrest Gander, this volume gathers poems from across Clariond’s career and presents the English translations and the original Spanish texts on facing pages. Whether writing about science or Romanticism, childhood or the Chihuahua Desert, ancient Mexican myths or the pandemic of Mexican femicides, Clariond displays a complex self-consciousness that captures much about contemporary identity in Mexico and beyond. Born in 1949 into a Lebanese family that emigrated to Mexico, Clariond has spent much of her life traveling between Mexico, the United States, and Spain, and she writes about varieties of exile and the fearsome complexity of the US–Mexican border with rare insight. Even rarer: she gives voice to her own interiority in a way that is accessible and piercing, as though her true country is inside of each reader.

The Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley


The latest volume of the acclaimed and magisterial Hopkins Press edition of Percy Bysshe Shelley's poetry, covering the years 1818 to early 1820, the first phase of Shelley's Italian period. "You talk Utopia," says the worldly Count Maddalo, reproaching the idealistic Julian in Julian and Maddalo. Inspired by conversations conducted on horseback near Venice between the two notorious exiled poets, Shelley and Byron, this poem was among the first of the masterpieces that Shelley wrote after moving with his family in March 1818 from England to post-Napoleonic Italy. The fourth volume of the Hopkins Complete Poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley covers the years 1818–19 and part of 1820, when Britain was convulsed by popular agitation for the reform of Parliament and stifled by repressive laws against free speech. Among its other contents are The Cenci, an indictment of tyranny, domestic and political, probably the most actable of Romantic dramas; The Mask of Anarchy, the "greatest poem of political protest ever written in English" (too inflammatory to be published at the time); Peter Bell the Third, a brilliant satire on Wordsworth; the fiery sonnet "England in 1819"; an eclogue for women's voices (Rosalind and Helen); playful, sophisticated songs ("Love's Philosophy") and sad verses ("Stanzas, Written in dejection"). Shelley's publications received slashing reviews from politically motivated critics, who attacked his character and principles but acknowledged his poetic gifts. He broadened his scope and composed the most politically engaged poems of his maturity. To quote a Victorian editor, he "ceased to be a subject of Time, and became a citizen of Eternity."As in previous volumes, meticulously edited texts are accompanied by discussions of the poems' composition, the influences they reflect, their publication, reception, and critical history, and detailed records of textual variants. Appendixes range from Mary Shelley's editorial notes to jottings by Shelley drawn from a hitherto unrecognized source for The Cenci. Readers will find in volume four original research, fresh readings, new contexts, and discoveries—hallmarks of this acclaimed edition. Volumes 5, 6, and 8 are in preparation.

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.

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.

Nekromantik


Zbierka Evy Luky Nekromantik potvrdzuje špecifickú poetiku autorky, ktorá je v slovenskej literatúre ojedinelá najmä vďaka svojej obraznosti. Tvoria ju nielen originálne motívy a postavy z rastlinnej a zvieracej ríše či mytologické a hybridné postavy, ale aj jazykové novotvary, ktoré poetka používa s takou samozrejmosťou, s akou pred nami vyrastá jej jedinečný fikčný svet. Výjavy, v ktorých sa lyrická hrdinka ocitá, alebo ktorých je svedkom (účinne sa pracuje aj s perspektívou a gramatickými rodmi), pôsobia snovým a halucinačným dojmom. Pri hlbšom pohľade majú však svoju logiku a ich dešifrovanie odkrýva tie najhlbšie zákutia ľudskej psychiky.

The Complete Poems


Famous for seminal poems such as ‘Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night’, ‘And Death Shall Have No Dominion’ and ‘A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London’, Dylan Thomas was the author of a substantial body of poetry, which he began writing as a teenager and continued to expand until the end of his short and troubled life.This is the most complete edition ever published of Dylan Thomas''s poetry. The texts are based on the first published editions of the poems or on manuscript notebook versions. All of his Swansea Grammar School poems are here reproduced, many of them reprinted for the first time since their original appearance in the student magazine. For a precocious genius such as Thomas, they are important as they show his early interest in the ludic aspect of language and his rapid development into a more serious poet. The book contains over a thousand notes, with textual variants.

Rarum : priesvitnosť


Verše Mily Haugovej sú aj v tejto zbierke fascinujúco konkrétne (sny, zážitky) i tajomne efemérne (abstraktá, rastlinná a zvieracia symbolika). Rarum – niečo vzácne a zriedkavé. Priesvitnosť – krehká kvalita toho, čo je vnímateľné iba pomaly a trpezlivo. Po prečítaní paradoxne pretrváva niečo, čomu nie je možné v úplnosti rozumieť – dá sa to však precítiť. Kniha ďalej prehlbuje autorkinu poetiku, je prístupná pre skúsené i začiatočnícke čitateľstvo, umožňuje opätovné strácanie a nachádzanie sa. Tvorba Mily Haugovej – našej azda najvýznamnejšej súčasnej poetky – sa pritom vrství ako letokruhy nielen v sebe samej, ale tvorí aj významný referenčný bod v kontexte súčasnej poézie v súvzťažnosti k modernejšie i tradičnejšie ladeným poetikám autorov a autoriek všetkých generácií.

Autobiography of a Performance


This co-authored work focuses on five performances developed by Blue Pieta, a multidisciplinary artist, director, dramaturg and performer and Bhanu Kapil, a poet, between 2022 and 2025. A public notebook of working scores and performance writing, AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A PERFORMANCE contains analytic depictions of shared time experienced during performance, notes on dramaturgy and applause, and thinking towards performance as a mode of inter-generational healing (borderwork). This hybrid collection studies performance as a place both unknown and emergent, the rough sketch that''s always incomplete, carried over to the next performance, and always in the company of radical others of many kinds. Both writers also change roles during the course of a performance, a mode of autobiography that most closely resembles mutation. A dramaturg is also an artist, a dancer, the poet of the work. A poet stands up from the table where they are seated to enter the domain of gesture and movement. Pieta and Kapil decompress an interoceptive approach to poetry, memory and ritual awareness: scenes that can''t be written, but only staged.

Burning the Ghost Light


“We all have a stage, but what happens when the lights go out?” — A poetic exploration of the masks we wear, and the truth that lies beneath.Burning The Ghost Light is a striking new poetry collection that invites readers into a world where theater and life intersect. Through four carefully crafted acts—the collection unpacks the roles we play in our relationships, whether with our parents, our lovers, or even the reflection in our own mirrors. Inspired by the dramatic elements of the stage, the collection features a cast of characters, dialogue, and vivid theater imagery, creating a reading experience that feels both introspective and performative. The poems delve into the ways we perform for others without even realizing it, and how that performance shapes our identities over time. What happens when we strip away the masks we've worn for so long? What truths are left behind when the lights fade and the curtain falls? With themes of mental health, the loss and rediscovery of love, coming-of-age realizations, and the imperfect nature of family, Burning The Ghost Light is for anyone who has ever wrestled with the complexity of being human. Blending the deeply personal with the profoundly universal, this collection speaks to those who find themselves constantly straddling the line between authenticity and expectation and will stay with you long after the final act.

Non-Prophet


Winner of the Claire Harris Poetry Prize Finalist, Lambda Literary Award (LGBTQ+ Poetry)Raw, reverent, and bursting with searing vulnerability, Non-Prophet canvases the electric tension between devotion and doubt to gods both personal and ubiquitous, and reflects on the natural and built worlds in their claims to the sacred. Winner of the inaugural Claire Harris Poetry Prize, Qurat Dar’s bold debut collection explores what it is to grapple with faith that’s “just another language you’re losing, or one you never learned to speak.” Weaving through the boundaries of language and form, Non-Prophet meditates on things “just mundane enough to be holy / just holy enough to be mundane” — the death of a bird, the cries of mid-nightmare prayers, the misplaced shame of what it is to bleed. Dar’s poems both rage and reconcile, holding gently the pieces of a fractured identity.
