Hlinený zošit
Niekde medzi Uložou a Uložou, na miestach, ktoré predstavujú životný priestor média, prostredia a jeho sprostredkovateľa, existuje vzťah ustupujúceho autora s rozvoľneným, hravým jazykom, ktorým sa miesto rozširuje a dotvára. Knihu je možné čítať ako prepis – prenesenie záhrady a okolitých lesov na obydlie, nepatrný moment na večnú ikonu, básnika Erika na čitateľa Jakuba, a napokon, Uložu na Uložu.
Queries on Death, the Infinite and Irrational Numbers
‘Beneath the sharp social satire lurks a psychological insight, a sensitivity to a profound cultural inheritance’ – The TimesIn 2023 the Forward Prize-winning poet John Stammers was struck by a sudden and life-threatening health crisis which brought him to the verge of death. By some miracle he survived and was able to return to the poems he had been writing which now, inevitably, took a darker turn. Queries on Death, the Infinite and Irrational Numbers is the book that was stopped in its tracks that day and which subsequently focused in pursuit of the words that might contain and question such experience. Central to this enquiry is the Grand Guignol humour of ‘Death Songs’ – a sequence born of his hospitalization and transcribed in its aftermath. Stammers is a frank and clear-eyed witness on the nature of death and its concomitants, drawing variously on Berryman’s famous work and on a wildly surreal hallucinatory experience that can accompany extreme bodily crises. Set around ‘Death Songs’ are poems of technical surprise alongside those of candid tenderness; poems that consider love and love-making within a wider emotional and intellectual context. Here are epistemological meditations that nonetheless preserve the ‘essential gaudiness’ of poetry; and elegies for artist friends that consider the ephemeral nature of fame and charisma. More than ever before, Stammers brings a philosophical dimension that raises the stakes from the purely literary into the genuinely metaphysical. Queries on Death, the Infinite and Irrational Numbers marks the bravura return of one of contemporary poetry’s foremost stylists. ‘A frame of reference ranging from the scabrous to the desolately chic, as if Tristan Corbiere were trying to get over an affair with Angelina Jolie’ – Clive James on Interior Night
V objatí srieňa
Po debute Časovaná správa sa Viera Herczeghová predstavuje čitateľom svojou druhou básnickou zbierkou V objatí srieňa. Hranice jej empatie sa v tomto opuse ešte bližšie primkýnajú k dôležitým otázkam v živote jednotlivca. Srieň – symbol chladu v arzenáli prírody je ľahko prenosný aj do medziľudských vzťahov, odcudzenia a hľadania konfrontácie človeka s realitou, so svetom a s básnickým subjektom.
Sonety
Shakespearove Sonety predstavujú nový kompletný preklad jedného z najväčších skvostov svetovej lyriky, Shakespearových Sonetov (154 sonetov v rozsahu 2 155 veršov); k nim je priradený preklad básne Milenkin nárek (329 veršov), ktorý vyšiel spolu so Sonetmi aj v prvom, tzv. kvartovom vydaní v r. 1609 a štruktúrne i tematicky na ne nadväzuje. Preklad dopĺňajú podrobné poznámky a vysvetlivky v rozsahu 500 rukopisných strán, ktoré majú ambíciu čitateľom pomôcť zorientovať sa v interpretácii sonetov a ich mnohých kontextov tým, že zhŕňajú názory editorov jednotlivých vydaní a shakespearológov od 17. st. až podnes. Kniha obsahuje aj kalendárium života a diela Williama Shakespeara, doslov a zoznam použitej literatúry. Zbierka sonetov s témou priateľstva a lásky je nepochybne jedným z najväčších klenotov svetovej poézie, ktorý aj po štyroch storočiach znie živo a súčasne. Majstrovské zvládnutie kráľovskej básnickej formy, originálna obraznosť, metaforika a dráždivá tajomnosť sú už po stáročia silným lákadlom pre milovníkov poézie.

Nektár
V poradí jedenásta básnická zbierka od Jána Martona, kultového avantgardného básnika zo Svitu.
Povedali o zbierke Nektár:
"Jankova zbierka nám v tomto povrchnom konzumnom svete dáva nádej, že poézia a umenie ešte stále žije, že hĺbka ducha trpezlivo vyčkáva na hladné a zvedavé duše po poznaní, po nahliadnutí za oponu. Básnici boli pre mňa vždy fascinujúci myslitelia srdcom, gentlemani, ktorí kašlú na to, aká je doba a držia sa svojich spôsobov; pripomínajú nám tak skutočné hodnoty veľmi diplomatickým spôsobom. A konkrétne v týchto básňach všetkým ženám Janko láskavo pripomína a vyvracia domnienku, že „všetci muži sú rovnakí“. Je to veľmi osviežujúce."
Barbora Švidraňová – herečka a speváčka
"Janove básne ma dostali – vedia prekvapiť, sú nežné aj odvážne zároveň, plné lásky, ktorá sa nezmestí do tradičných metafor. Každý verš dýcha obrazmi, čo sa striedajú medzi jemným humorom a tichým smútkom, medzi každodennosťou a vesmírom. Raz hravé, inokedy bolestne úprimné, dokážu spomaliť svet, otvoriť v nás dvere a vpustiť dnu svetlo, dotyk i otázky. Pre mňa je táto zbierka malým priestorom, kde sa dá znovu veriť v krásu slova a v cit, ktorý nepozná pózy."
Vlado Krausz - textár, skladateľ a výtvarník

Boh zlomil palicu
Si hladina v mojej krvi
a ja úctyhodne ustupujem.
Tváriš sa,
že Zem starne.
A ona dochne
na nedostatok zeme.
V tebe sa mi drieme.
Počúvam Hnilicu.
Boh zlomil palicu,
keď oceán vytekal
ako naivný potok.
Niekam do ďalšej cudzej tváre.
Bola tma, keď sa skončil mier.
Už si spomínam
Svet bol zovretý
ako hrdlo obesenca,
von zúril život
a ja som hľadal druhý kúsok.
Seba.
Už si spomínam,
vietor praskal ako suché lístie
a tvoje oči sa leskli
mojimi.
Dlho som si myslel,
že je to kométa zatúlaného pôvodu
alebo iný odraz môjho lesku.
Mýlil som sa.
Bola si to ty.
Máš šaty a krásne vlohy
Si taká krásna,
až Bohu mrzne internet.
Slnko si zlomilo kľúčnu kosť
a hviezdam sa tiež
nejako rýchlo zapaľujú lýtka.
V nebi bude bitka.
Kto ti skôr pošle prvý sen,
ako počítaš slnečnice
a vlak okolo píska ako
opitý rozhodca v ôsmej lige.
V Kubachoch alebo v Barcelone.
Ktovie, čo je hore?
A čo tam pod matičkou Zemou.
V dole baníckeho potu,
vraj čert predáva zlotu.
Ale ja som anjel a ty taká krásna,
už ťa iba napísať.
Máš šaty a krásne vlohy,
hodíš sa mi do prvej slohy.
Aj do refrénu, a vlastne všade.
Budem ťa hľadať v prvom rade.
Budem stáť
a písať prstom na oblohu tvoje meno.
Potom sa zobudím
a bude už veľmi neskoro.
Na všetko.

Leucippe and Clitophon
''Her mouth was like the bloom of a rose, when the rose begins to part the lips of its petals. As soon as I saw, I was done for...All my dreams were of Leucippe.''Achilles Tatius'' Leucippe and Clitophon is the most bizarre and risqué of the five ''Greek novels'' of idealized love between boy and girl that survive from the period of the Roman empire. Stretching the capacity of the genre to its limits, Achilles'' narrative covers adultery, violence, evisceration, pederasty, virginity-testing, and (of course) an improbable happy ending. Ingenious and sophisticated in conception, Leucippe and Clitophon is in execution at once subtle, stylish, moving, brash, tasteless, and obscene. This new translation aims to capture Achilles'' writing in all its exuberant variety. 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.
Láska na počkanie...
LÁSKA NA POČKANIE..., je v poradí už autorova 18. knižná publikácia, celkovo však iba v poradí 8. básnická zbierka. Ako to už v poézii býva a podľa autora aj má byť, je výrazom pohľadu na súčasný svet, ale z pohľadu už skúseného človeka. Autor vo svojich básňach nepopierateľne čerpá z osobne nažitého, ale aj zo súčasného diania v spoločnosti. Vo svojej poézii bez zábran poukazuje na chyby, ktorých sa vedome, či nevedome, dopúšťame vo vzťahoch, vo vzájomnom súžití a v prístupe k životu. Na problémy však iba nepoukazuje, ale zároveň, práve cez poéziu, ponúka aj vlastné východiská, pričom lásku a vzájomné porozumenie stavia vždy a za každých okolností, na prvé miesto. Ako človek a básnik iba dúfa, že aj cez jeho umelecké slovo si to raz a konečne uvedomíme všetci, teda aj tí, ktorí si myslia, že ich života sa poézia nijako netýka!
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.
Songs of Innocence and of Experience
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright, In the forest of the night, What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
This elegant hardback pocket edition of Songs of Innocence & of Experience reproduces the complete collection in its original illuminated manuscript form, with Blake's full-colour illustrations and decorative borders surrounding the poems. For clarity, each poem is faced by a transcription of the poem and the whole collection is prefaced by an introduction to William Blake and to this particular work.
Part of the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, this edition is luxurious presented with gold cover accents, gilded page edges, ivory pages and patterned endpapers, creating a stylish way to enjoy this classic poetic work.
ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Ornate Classics are beautifully bound editions of iconic literary works across history. These compact, foil-embossed hardbacks are printed using deluxe ivory paper and make the perfect gift.
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Among the beautiful and striking illuminated books etched and printed by William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell stands out. Written in 1790 at the beginning of the French Revolution, it represents Blake’s first attempt to create a new system of art, poetry and philosophy, declaring himself on the side of the devils in a world that was being turned upside down. While perhaps lesser known than his Songs of Innocence and of Experience, it has strong echoes throughout pop culture, and is arguably more influential on later generations of writers, thinkers and even musicians, from Aldous Huxley drawing on it as a key text to opening the doors of perception, which in turn gave The Doors their name, through to figures as diverse as Salman Rushdie, Benjamin Britten, Olga Tokarczuk and Keith Haring. Blake’s writing and art immediately draws the reader into a fantastical and surrealist landscape, where the protagonist converses with angels who have thrown their lot in with revolutionary hell, or chats with prophets and devils about the nature of God, the universe and everything. ?The gloriously illustrated edition, which opens with a poem, and takes the form of prose thereafter, is both a spirited satire on religion and morality, and expresses Blake's essential wisdom and philosophy. Produced as a beautiful facsimile, with a new, illuminating introduction, this is a special and thought-provoking gift book.
Saints of Little Faith
The energies animating Saints of Little Faith, Megan Pinto’s electrifying debut in poetry, are a forceful quiet, a loud stillness, the caesura between a lightning strike and the sound of thunder. Everywhere, the speaker sees the numinous power of language, the incipience of things to come, even a kind of catastrophic grace in desolation and destruction — as if within the terrain of her own obsession, she recognizes the familiar, ever-changing seasons. Fierce and intimate, this poet’s meditative transformations engage with South Asian experiences of addiction, domestic violence, and mental illness, refusing to ignore narratives treated as unspeakable and overlooked by the English canon. Mapping the collision of abuse, psychosis, and rage, Pinto sees beyond them, buoyed by an inscrutable but abiding faith in the holiness of life itself, in a cold God nevertheless capable of gentleness. Once, “desire was an arrow, but now desire / is the field.” Pinto presides over this expanse, deciding, “I have three choices: to drift through life / anesthetized, to soften. . .” In that unspoken “or,” the merciful lacuna of that ellipsis, reside the lyrical mystery and medicine that feed this astonishing collection and strengthen resolve, both ours and the speaker’s: “The lake looks frozen, but it is not.”
The Thing About Falling
From Grammy award-winning spoken word artist and poet Tarriona ‘Tank’ Ball, comes a powerful second collection of poetry about falling out of love and into a renewed sense of self. After getting “vulnerable AF” on her 2021 book tour, Tank realized she was truly ready to move on from her first love. In The Thing About Falling, she writes about that experience as well as what followed—a period of shallow comfort, followed by a much deeper transformation. Organized in sections that follow the author from heartbreak to rebound to new love, the poetry that flows is an honest, witty, and effortlessly charming account of one woman’s journey back to herself. For the teenage reader facing their first heartbreak or the thirty-something looking for the strength to risk love again, The Thing About Falling is a heartfelt reminder that, love is always worth the fall.
Goatsong
The ancient Greek word for tragedy (????????) is a compound of goat (??????) and song (???). In Phoebe Giannisi''s Goatsong, the seam that connects human and animal, myths and history, is the body.In Giannisi’s language, life obeys myth. A man places a screaming cicada in his mouth, reminding us of a scene from Plato’s Phaedrus, where Socrates claims cicadas to have been humans who became entranced by the invention of singing, and didn’t stop to eat or drink. When the goddess Thetis dips her newborn son, Achilles, into the River Styx to protect all but his famous heel where her hand grips, we’re told ‘the place of the mother’s grip / is the mark of death.’ Adjacent to the mythical setting is the material, where the rumination of goats, their digestive cycle – chewing, swallowing, then recalling food back into the mouth to be reconsidered – begins after weaning, and is lain alongside how we think: ‘from the moment of separation / from the mother / they ruminate.’ In these lyric enactments, all is transformative and transformed; territories of land, the body and history are blurred, and nothing is still.From Homer to Donna Haraway, Derrida to state archives, klephtic ballads and rebetiko, to Parmenides and Giannisi’s dog, Ivan, the many human and animal voices of Goatsong form an incantatory lyricism and layered engagement unique in literature.
A Bright and Borrowed Light
A gorgeous collection of poems exploring womanhood, sisterhood, love, loss, and longing, for people who find catharsis in poems, or people who have always wanted to read poetry, but don?t know where to start.?How little / love is. How worth everything.? Such is the central theme of Courtney Kampa?s sharp yet tender ?Skin and Other Weapons,? one in a collection of beautiful, intimate poems examining the little shared experiences that make us human. Courtney herself was the kind of person who made life better just for knowing her, and though she tragically passed in 2022, her work carries her brilliance and light forward. While Courtney is no longer here, her husband Will Anderson notes that converting readers to poetry was one of her greatest joys, and this collection will make a convert of any reader.Courtney wrote for the girls she was raised with and the women she was raised by. She wrote for herself?which is to say, she wrote for so many of us. In ?Cartography,? a group of friends dissects the end of a relationship with a woman who, through the telling, becomes ?meaner now, and / more beautiful.? In ?The Rules? she writes ?I don?t believe in girlhood. I don?t believe / we are ever small, or ever don?t know what it is / we shouldn?t know,? challenging the sweetness and innocence constantly attributed to little girls who live in a world that is neither sweet nor innocent. In ?The Cool Kids,? the speaker, desperate to belong but horrified by what her peers require of her, wonders ?if this is what it feels like / to be pinned down by the sky.?Individually, each of these poems feels like advice from a friend who knows you deeply and provides a sense of comfort and validation. Taken as a whole, the collection tells a larger story of growth?of the love and loss involved?and learning how to exist in the world. As accessible as they are transcendent, these poems will leave readers feeling as if they have been ?anointed with a bright and borrowed light.?
Namanlagh
I guess I must have been in two mindsabout the new dayas the daylight godsbegan to march in straight linesgoing I don’t know wherefrom ‘The Spare Room’In his first collection for more than a decade, Tom Paulin revisits themes of place, occupation, conflict and legacy, primarily in the context of his native Northern Ireland. Stories and memories, even histories, are shown to be both frail and persistent, troubling and vital. There is a powerful austerity in play as he sets aside the rhetorical force and linguistic dazzle for which he is renowned, to speak simply of later life and the losses it brings: ‘if only some idea / could find its way / through enemy territory / then I’d at last begin / to look up at the sky.’ As outward-looking as ever, he also includes here intimate and resonant versions from Brecht and Ronsard, and from the contemporary Palestinian poet, Walid Khazendar.‘To say the [Fivemiletown] was one of the best books of the Eighties isn’t enough: it is one of the best books I know, or for that matter, am capable of imagining . . . what British or Irish poet was doing anything like this?’ Michael Hofmann, London Review of Books‘Tom Paulin is among the best of a great generation of Irish poets.’ Sunday Telegraph‘Paulin often creates the illusion that the poem is being made up as he goes along. Spontaneity is difficult to pull off in poetry but it is a Paulin forté. The casualness is only possible because of the absolute control of form, each poem a windbreak for his words . . .’ Kate Kellaway‘[Tom Paulin''s] short, punchy poems are characterised by their ability to evoke images through the smallest details, or through sudden shifts of register ... Mr Paulin''s poems fight against lazy uses of language ... in Love''s Bonfire Mr Paulin demonstrates the strength that comes with saying less, not unlike relying on only a spark for warmth.’ The Economist
Tamesis
Tamesis, a lyrical journey along the River Thames, where water, history and humanity interlace in both intimate and expansive verse composed by Edmund Hall, a lifelong sailor and volunteer RNLI lifeboatman. Hall's verses capture the river, not as a postcard but as a living, breathing force - by turns majestic, dangerous, and tender. His poems flow from Oxfordshire tributaries to London's tidal reaches, weaving together personal experience, urban memory, and ancient echoes of the river's role in shaping lives. With a foreword by Sir Ian McKellen, this collection places the Thames within a cultural and emotional landscape that feels at once timeless and contemporary. Hall's verse, at times reflective and elegiac, at times raw with grit and immediacy, recalls the everyday realities of service on the lifeboat as much as it celebrates the beauty of a sunset on Barn Elms Reach or the stillness of Sonning's trout pools. The river here is never mere scenery - it is character, companion, and witness. The book is illustrated with hand-drawn images inspired by the poems. Illustrated by Gary Partridge, a Coldstream Guards veteran turned artist, Tamesis pairs the words and emotions of the verses, with a series of unique images inspired by them.
What Now Is Now Is Now
A selection of poems that blend raw imagery with experimental forms, offering a vivid exploration of the body, language and shifting identities. Nóra Ružicková’s poetry merges bodily experience with linguistic experimentation, evolving from self-reflection to an exploration of the complexities of gender and Central European identity. Her work deftly weaves personal narratives with political and social commentary, forging poems that are both intellectually provocative and deeply embodied. This selection spans nearly 25 years, tracing her work from a late-millennium debut to her latest, most socially engaged collection, which explores novelty within the grand narratives of modern history and critiques humanity's obsession with progress. Through her poems, she challenges the boundaries of language, blending physicality with abstraction through a combination of potent imagery and philosophical reflection. Her poetry treats the body as a space where meaning is simultaneously created and dismantled, probing themes of identity, existence and the instability of interpretation. By experimenting with materiality, bodily experience and the ever-changing mediascape, Ružicková captures the complexities of contemporary human life and dissolves the divide between language and physical reality. In its concluding section, the selection confronts pivotal historical moments and humanity’s relentless pursuit of progress, making for a powerful, thought-provoking engagement with the present.
