Shade is a place
Shade is a place meanders east west along Charlottesville''s Downtown Mall, seeking ''a Black sense of place'' at the pace of stressed shade and street trees, the mall''s architectural history, and the speaker''s ongoing questions and reflections. The collection of poems is a moving invitation to open one''s attention by looking up, down, and always within. Through lyric walking poems (''tree walks'' and ''shade walks'') and Basho-style travelogue, Shade is a place unfolds as much through arboreal life as through one''s inner life - sometimes alone, sometimes with others, and always among turning trees.
whitewards
This poetry collection masterfully weaves themes of identity, resilience, and the search for meaning against the backdrop of an endless winter.
Katarína Kucbelová's whitewards is a haunting and deeply moving sequence of poems that unfolds in a stark, snowbound landscape where winter seems endless. Three unnamed figures struggle to find their way through a snow-covered mountainside, grappling with uncertainty, unspoken fears, and the weight of questions they can barely put into words. Framed as a series of brief fragments and longer passages that use a range of narrative and cinematic techniques, the collection explores themes of identity, survival, and the search for meaning in a time of global crisis-whether political, environmental, or technological. Yet amid the darkness, Kucbelová finds light in storytelling itself, offering it as a form of solace, a way to break through loneliness, and a means to endure. The beauty of her images stimulates and inspires, acting as an antidote to the bleakness of the world. This stunning collection of poems explores identity, survival, and the power that storytelling possesses to bring light even to the bleakest landscapes.
MEMORY
Dorothea Lasky’s Memory is a cycle of ‘poet’s essays’ stirred by two profound questions. What constitutes personhood and consciousness? What memories get lost, and why?Lasky’s inspired investigation of the forces that form our lives and deepest senses of ourselves ranges across three dimensions of memory: ancestral, personal and poetic. In her singularly clear voice, she enters into their mysteries to return with an expansive collection of essays that traverse the universal and the particular. Memory reflects on the everyday and the emotional, history, trauma and charged sites of collective reminiscence, such as the moon landing. Other pieces address the other side of memory: her father’s experience of Alzheimer’s, asking what’s left where memory is absent, and what’s ‘real’ beyond the horizon of death. The book closes with ‘Time, the Rose, and the Moon’, an ars poetica exploring the ancient symbol of the Ouroboros as a figure for the nonlinear processes of time, memory and art. In tribute to Bernadette Mayer’s Memory, Lasky reveals memory to be huge and haunting, as she accumulates impressions that challenge the very possibility of fixed meaning.

Lantana or, the Indissoluble Exhalation
By the time of his death at twenty-nine, bruno darío had already left a surprising and indelible mark on Mexican poetry with Lantana or, the indissoluble exhalation, a trilogy comprising the three full-length books he published in his lifetime. By turns sardonic and lyrical, scathing and irreverent, the hallucinatory sequence centers on the relationship of a young man (the Inconsolable) and an older woman who unexpectedly takes her own life (Lantana/Anfitriona). Across the three books, darío seamlessly code-switches between registers and genres: soliloquies from people, places, and things; the Inconsolable’s notes, poems, and letters; the discourses of Lantana’s buried corpse as gravity pulls her deeper into the soil. Lantana is a kaleidoscopic assemblage of texts that experiments with centuries of poetic tradition and firmly establishes darío as one of Mexico’s most daring poets.This bilingual edition, featuring a biographical translator’s introduction by Kit Schluter, marks the first appearance of darío’s complete trilogy in a single volume.
My Love Is Water
At a house party with as many antipsychotics as party drugs, Danilo—bakla, schizophrenic, and heartbroken—is tracing the disintegration of a recent relationship. Dancing and stumbling with his Filipina nurse friends, Danilo traverses a Chicago apartment filled with gay ghosts and broken Tagalog. Outside the window, the lake is too big and crashing.In a hybrid of drama and poetry, Rob Macaisa Colgate writes in rigorous and experimental verse to upend our understandings of desire, race, disability, and care: “That’s so like me, to treat my body / like a gun: either he doesn’t want / to touch it or uses it to make me / stay. I knew he would run.”
Brink
Brink opens with its title-poem and it stays on the brink of various worlds and conditions throughout. Most crucial is the brink between life and death, each of which is seen from the perspective of the other as in the great five-part sequence ‘Republic’, showing how death is interwoven into life. But, precarious as the brink is, the unyieldingly sympathetic foundation of these poems in the reality of family and immediate perception is wholly redemptive. Ferriter’s is a world aware of Rilke’s beauty and terror; Art, particularly music, offers consolation for the fragility and terror of the world in Bosnia or Afghanistan or Civil War Kerry. There are great, redemptive elegies for Shane McGowan, Sinead O’Connor and Seamus Begley.
The Nightmare Sequence
The Nightmare Sequence is a searing response to the atrocities in Gaza and beyond since October 2023. Heartbreaking and humane, it is a necessary portrait of the violence committed by Israel and its Western allies.Through poetry and visual art, Omar Sakr and Safdar Ahmed capture these historic injustices, while also critiquing the role of art and media – including their own – in this time. Born of collective suffering and despair, their collaboration interrogates the position of witness: the terrible and helpless distance of vision, the impact of being exposed to violence of this scale on a daily basis, and what it means to live in a society that is actively participating in the catastrophic destruction of Arabs and Muslims overseas.With a foreword by Palestinian American poet George Abraham, The Nightmare Sequence is an insightful work of testimony that also considers how art is complicit in Empire. This transcendent book invokes the power of poetry and art to shift hearts and minds; it will serve as a vital record in decades to come.
Formaldehyd
Svébytné textové útvary sbírky Formaldehyd vybízejí k tomu být čteny znovu a znovu, vždy jinudy a jinak, jako by se snažily, aby jim bylo dobře porozuměno, zároveň se však důsledně vyhýbají jakékoli jednoznačnosti a stabilitě. Mobilizují intelekt i smysly čtenáře, po vzoru avantgardistů jej činí spoluautorem, nepodbízejí se. Provokují každého, kdo chce mít všechno jasně nalajnované. A přece jsou jasné velmi – mimoběžně a zcela po svém: přes veškerou otevřenost, ba dokonce právě díky ní, představuje tato sbírka hutnou reflexi světa, jenž zjevně zešílel.
Tales of Love, Madness and Death
An extraordinary writer whose work has long been woefully neglected in English translation, Quiroga''s tales – and the life of the writer behind them – are a fever dream of morbidity and horror. Frequently compared to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, this avant-garde collection is staggeringly modern in its content, and is suffused with the themes and settings of his later works.Quiroga''s first published short-story collection, Tales of Love, Madness and Death is presented here in a brand-new translation, and also includes his lauded tongue-in-cheek ''Ten Commandments for Short-Story Writers'', readying some of the great writer''s finest work for a new generation of readers.
The Minotaur’s Daughter
Poems from a new Slovak voice reminiscent of Rilke and Sharon Olds.
An evocative collection by Slovak poet Eva Luka, The Minotaur's Daughter seamlessly melds the human and natural worlds, weaving motifs of mythology, nature, and personal freedom into a tapestry of vivid imagery and profound emotion. The poems traverse settings from Japan to mythic landscapes, exploring the complexities of sexuality, desire, and transition.
Central to Luka's work is the theme of resistance-against societal pressures and psychic harm. Her poetic voice defies artistic conformity, merging human and animal identities to challenge gender norms and explore mutable identities. Through this innovative fusion, her poems capture both the terror and beauty of existence, drawing parallels to Rilke's metaphysical explorations while grounding her work in the pantheistic and protoplasmic. Journeying through darkness and light, The Minotaur's Daughter reveals an unwavering commitment to artistic and personal truth, establishing Luka as a formidable voice of resistance in contemporary European poetry.
Winter & Christmas Poems
This beautiful volume of winter and Christmas-themed verses will be a hugely welcome addition to the George Mackay Brown canon. The poet and novelist lived and worked all his life in Stromness on Orkney: the islands being the sole inspiration for the huge and immensely rich body of work that he left behind at his death in 1997. Many of Mackay Brown''s poems are set in the winter months and we have made here a selection of some of the most evocative. Seamus Heaney wrote of him: ''George Mackay Brown has added uniquely and steadfastly to the riches of poetry in English: his sense of the world and his way with words are powerfully at one with each other. The book has Orcadian woodcuts by the artist Kath Littler, including a cover illustration ''Hoy Hare''.
Leaning Against Time
Longlisted for the Jhalak Poetry Prize 2026This is the first substantial selection of poems by SuAndi, whose work - as performer, writer for stage and arts curator - has recently been celebrated by the award of the Benson Medal by the Royal Society of Literature, of which she is an honorary fellow, for services to literature across her career, which recognised her poems' fierce, vividly powerful and dramatic depictions of women's lives - in Manchester, the city she grew up in - and of Black communities and the lives of those whose voices are not often heard, even now, in contemporary British literature. In this selection, the rhythms of speech and performance echo off the page. Though she is as at home with the dramatic monologue as the lyric and the ballad, SuAndi's poems defy easy categorisation and make visible on the page a remarkable trailblazing writing career.
Ugly Europa
Snaha spojiť sa. Uprostred tak trochu rozpadajúceho sa kontinentu, začarovávania sveta, katastrofických geopolitických scenárov, okultúr a ozvien (o)kultúrnych prúdov. Od flámskych Animaliers, cez slovenskú avantgardu a rakúsku rapovú scénu vstupujeme naspäť do súčasného srdca Európy.
Papcunova poetika pripomína tempo a štýl Instagramového photodumpu, ktorý mimovoľne prechádza do heréz a trubadúrskych piesní vhodných na pohmkávanie si doma v sprche, alebo v nočných taxíkoch. Bez potreby vedieť spievať, alebo mať hudobný sluch. Alebo je to iba v inotajoch zapísaný watchlist?
Dinosauři v ulicích
Antologie současné americké poezie
Naposledy u nás vyšla antologie moderní americké poezie v roce 1989. Výbor Dítě na skleníku se rychle stal vyhledávanou a oblíbenou knihou. O překlad se tenkrát postaral Jaroslav Kořán a přinesla jména jako John Berryman, John Ashbery nebo Charles Bukowski. Poezie sice není masovou záležitostí, nicméně po pětatřiceti letech cítíme, že tu něco významného chybí. Kolik známe současných amerických básníků? Co jsme od nich četli? Nová antologie zpracovává nejsoučasnější jména tamní literární scény: vévodí Ada Limón, básnířka, která má v současnosti titul US Poet Laureate amerického Kongresu, následována jmény jako Francesca Bell, Dana Gioia či Ilya Kaminsky. Vydání antologie, jejímž hlavním editorem je Jan Zikmund, je literární událostí a přínosem pro všechny zájemce o světovou literaturu.

Poems from an Attic
'...Without surprise
I see him now in evil company.
A wicked face - but oh those eyes could charm -
Heart, sudden heart, don't beat me to my knees.'
Long hidden in an attic, vivid and revelatory poems shine a new light on the life and loves of Iris Murdoch.
*As seen in the Guardian*
**With an introduction by Booker-shortlisted author Sarah Hall, and an essay from the editors.*
In the dusty attic of Iris Murdoch's Oxford home lay a battered, black chest. In 2016, when the chest was finally opened, Murdoch's life in poems was revealed.
Renowned for her fiercely intelligent novels and groundbreaking philosophy, Murdoch was one of the great writers of the twentieth century. Yet she is also known for her equally radical life - intense friendships, relationships with both men and women, and an open marriage - about which much has, often controversially, been written. Now, her tightly wrought and vivid poems reveal a new, deeply personal account in Murdoch's own voice. They range over the preoccupations closest to her heart, from the state of Ireland to memories of a first love lost in the Second World War.
Murdoch kept her poems private or addressed them to specific individuals. This did not affect the attention she paid to her craft. Always 'obsessed' with poetry, her technical skill is clear even in the musicality of the early pieces, maturing in the extraordinary, impassioned cycle 'Conversations with a Prince' and in the liberation of free verse.
Above all, these are masterful poems about love; there is no writer who reveals its secrets quite like Iris Murdoch. These are essential poems for those who, like her, think deeply about romance and friendship, jealousy and commitment, and about all the shades of love in our lives.
Maryville
From the T. S. Eliot and Polari Prize-winning author of C+NTO & Othered Poems comes an innovative collection exploring the scars, hopes and potentialities of dyke counterculture and the queer underground.
With a vividly sketched cast of characters, award-winning poet Joelle Taylor uses the Maryville butch bar as a lens through which to consider the underground histories of queer London. The violence and pain of oppression and the beauty and intimacy of community are rendered in awe-inspiring high definition in a collection as filmic as it is familiar. A hybrid chronicle, magic trick, prayer and insurrection, Maryville conjures ghosts back to their bodies, a community to their feet.
Oceánska samota
Vydanie publikácie z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia.
Azory sú stiesnené svety, vanie tu atmosféra ostrovnosti, melancholický duch, týčia sa tu múry osamelosti a samoty. Byť ostrovanom je posadnutosť, miesto je obkľúčené prstencom oceánu a jedinou cestou von je horizont. Z deviatich ostrovov, z najzápadnejšieho územia Európy, nám posiela svoje posolstvá deväť básnikov Azorských ostrovov.
