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. Výtvarné dielo použité na obálke akad. maliar Igor Benca

Judas Goat


Gabrielle Bates’s electric debut collection Judas Goat plumbs the depths of intimate relationships. The book’s eponymous animal is used to lead sheep to slaughter while its own life is spared, and its harrowing existence echoes through this spellbinding collection of forty poems, which wrestle with betrayal and forced obedience, violence and young womanhood, and the “forbidden felt language” of sexual and sacred love. These poems conjure encounters with figures from scriptures, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shapeshifting, spectral force; they question what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears. All the while, the Deep South haunts, and no matter how far away the speaker moves, the South always draws her back home.In confession, in illumination, Bates establishes herself as an unflinching witness to the risks that desire necessitates, as Judas Goat holds readers close and whispers its unforgettable lines.

The Green Month


Delightful new versions of the great Welsh medieval poet’s lyrics – intimate, urgent and timelessDafydd ap Gwilym, the pre-eminent poet of Wales, explored love, desire and the natural world with startling frankness and virtuoso wit. In a sequence freely adapted from Dafydd’s work, Matthew Francis brings him to life for the modern English-speaking reader: as he waits in the woods for his lover, ogles the girls in church or causes chaos during a midnight assignation. Plants, birds and animals are fondly invoked while weather and the elements - wind, waves, fog and ice - play their part. Passionate in his treatment of sexual themes, Dafydd is equally ready to make fun of his own susceptibility. The Green Month introduces an original and lovable poet who speaks freshly to us from deep in our islands’ past.

Parch


The poems in Menna Elfyn''s new collection offer a voice to those whose liberty or dignity have been undermined, seeking religious, linguistic and cultural tolerance for all, and not shying away from the effects of (in)humanity on our environment, histories and lives.In Welsh, ?parch? (the ?ch? is guttural) simply means respect. But it is also the common word for a chapel minister (a ?reverend?). Menna Elfyn?s collection explores the many ways in which respect can be expressed, as well as how our world can so often feel parched of simple kindnesses.Glimpses of parch in action reveal the best of who we are. Humour found in difficult times, solace in shared grief or steadfast defiance in the face of oppression. Following many years of campaigning, Menna Elfyn is moving towards her own sense of resolution as the Welsh language is now accepted and respected as an official language in Wales. For the first time in a Bloodaxe collection, she has translated or written many of the original poems in English and describes herself as a ?proud bilingual?.Menna Elfyn shares Herta Müller?s belief that ?holding one?s own language up to the eyes of another leads to a solid relationship, a relaxed kind of love?. This distils the essence of Parch: respect as refuge; the triumph of compassion over conflict.

Hometown and Other Poems


Divided into fifty-five sections, ‘Hometown’ is an extraordinary work in the long tradition of the Great American Poem. The author’s own compositions, interspersed with quotations from other famous writers and excerpts from historical documents and articles, including an old restaurant bill, create a living tapestry of the city of Denver from its pre-colonial days to its foundation and beyond, woven together by the poet’s unifying gaze and psychedelic imagination.Thirty years in the making, ‘Hometown’ was left unpublished at the death of its author, who regarded it as his most important work. Published here for the first time, alongside the rest of his poetry, including some uncollected pieces, this poem will restore Lyman Andrews’s place among the great American poets of the twentieth century.

Suburban Locust


I dare the lightning, take hold of its leverscranking out the weather while God is on business. I take on the responsibility without knowing the consequences,without knowing the thunder. Antosh Wojcik's anticipated debut, Suburban Locust is a wild ride of a collection born to be read in a single, breathless sitting. With compelling narrative cohesion and dark yet whimsical surrealism, Wojcik's poems drive us into the heart of an earthquake, within which a loveable, dysfunctional family battle against the elements of addiction and inherited trauma, their seemingly weatherproof bonds stretched to breaking point against an angry sky. Set across Texas, Warsaw and an unspecified English suburb, nonetheless this story feels biblical in its music and litany. It is visited by plagues (locusts, dealers, feds, choirs, wartime ghosts, sandy dudes, termites, bad neighbours, shark-headed behemoths, problematic astro-turf installers) and ablaze with the fiery glow of the apocalypse. An ingenious and irresistible read, from one of UK poetry's brightest talents. 'Like James Tate, but drunk' Roger Robinson

A Fool i’ the Forest


First published in 1925, and frequently compared to T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, A Fool i’ the Forest is a modernist’s poetic expression of his ongoing struggles with overcoming the trauma of military service in the First World War.Taking its title from Shakespeare’s phantasmagoric Midsummer Night’s Dream, A Fool surveys three aspects of one character – ‘I’, Mezzetin and the Conjuror – as they struggle, and ultimately fail, to find a way to reconcile their differences and live with one another.Enriched with a fascinating introduction and explanatory notes by leading Aldington scholars Michael Copp and Elizabeth Vandiver, this centenary edition seeks to place A Fool firmly back into the canon of postwar poetry, from which it has been missing for too long.

Realita sa stala skutočnosťou


Zmyslom reality je držanie sa čo najďalej od nej. Nečakajte teda žiadne ružové okuliare, ale okuliare všetkých farieb, s ktorými cez kaleidoskop nahliadnete na potkanie preteky, ktoré všetci vedieme medzi sebou. Keď vás toto všetko unaví, acid nacapený pod slovenským jazykom vás najprv rozosmeje absurdnosťami a potom vás bez varovania odvedie do snových, ľahko psychadelických medziskutočností, v ktorých sa všetky kúsky poznaného a prežitého dosadia na správne miesto.

A Violence


A reckoning with psychological and ecological crises from a poet whose work has been praised as “beautiful and riveting” (Los Angeles Review of Books)A poetic representation of PTSD and its evocative bewilderments, Paula Bohince’s mesmerizing new collection, A Violence, is written at inflection points: a waking from dissociation borne from a harrowing childhood; a breakdown; and a struggle toward wholeness by means of mystified recollection amid ecological disturbances. Praised for poems that “reward enormously upon first encounter, and only more so upon subsequent reads” (The Rumpus), Bohince is here alert to surprise, the enthralling image “rushing through such wreckage a brain becomes.” Contemplating vulnerability and resilience in the entwined human and natural worlds, with a voice precise and powerful, A Violence is a haunting collection that builds symphonically to recover a self “gone away,” where the ordinary is imbued with transcendental significance.
