Atom and Void
A collection of wry and fiercely intelligent sonnets from a widely praised poetAaron Fagan’s Atom and Void is a dazzling and haunting meditation on existence and impermanence. This collection of sonnets delves into the fragility of perception, the boundaries between self and other, and the ways language fractures and recombines to illuminate meaning. Drawing on influences as diverse as physics, art, and philosophy, the poems balance precision with abstraction, creating a space where the reader encounters the immediacy of experience alongside its inevitable fading. What emerges is a deeply personal yet universal reckoning with the nature of being—its joys, its terrors, and the unrelenting beauty of its transience. These poems do not seek to provide answers but to embody the questions that shape our lives. The result is a work that both disrupts and comforts, holding the reader in a delicate balance of wonder and disquiet. With its thematic range and lyrical precision, Atom and Void is an extraordinary contribution to contemporary poetry.
As Long As Trees Take Root in the Earth
A hopeful, music-infused poetry collection from Congolese poet Alain Mabanckou. These compelling poems by novelist and essayist Alain Mabanckou conjure nostalgia for an African childhood where the fauna, flora, sounds, and smells evoke snapshots of a life forever gone. Mabanckou’s poetry is frank and forthright, urging his compatriots to no longer be held hostage by the civil wars and political upheavals that have ravaged their country and to embrace a new era of self-determination where the village roosters can sing again. These music-infused texts, beautifully translated by Nancy Naomi Carlson and supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, appear together in English for the first time. In these pages, Mabanckou pays tribute to his beloved mother, as well as to the regenerative power of nature, especially of trees, whose roots are a metaphor for the poet’s roots, anchored in the red earth of his birthplace. Mabanckou’s yearning for the land of his ancestors is even more poignant because he has been declared persona non grata in his homeland, now called Congo-Brazzaville, due to his biting criticism of the country’s regime. Despite these barriers, his poetry exudes hope that nature’s resilience will lead humankind on the path to redemption and reconciliation.
Hrajku
Slávek Hamaďák debutoval v roce 2007 sbírkou Živý nedopalky. Nyní přichází s novinkou pojmenovanou HRAJKU. Jazyk v ní používá jako zbraň, ale i náplast. Humor má křivý, ale pravdivý. HRAJKU je civilní groteska, ironická modlitba a skřekem infekcí postižené duše. Klíčila v letech 2020–2023 v době, kdy svět dostával na solar dobře mířenými údery pandemie, války a digitálního bezčasí. Některé fráze, jména a výjevy mohou dnes znít absurdně. Syrově autentický záznam o tom, co jsme v těch letech žili – a přežili, to ale neoslabuje. Ba naopak – dělá z HRAJKU nadčasový deník, škrábaný bez kompromisu.
Od svého vyoutování nosím jen boty ve kterých můžu bojovat nebo utéct
Druhá básnická sbírka petyi stach zachycuje prožitky spojené s transgender coming outem a vnitřní i sociální tranzicí. Zachycuje cestu od uzavřené samoty k euforii z autentického projevení sebe sama, ke queer joy spojené se sebepřijetím, s pospolitostí komunity i se systémovým odporem.
Přestože jde o cestu postupného otevírání, neustále se na ní objevují zvnitřnělé pochybnosti, rozporuplné pocity, strachy, frustrace, vztek a společenské bariéry. Přes to všechno ale napříč sbírkou prochází naděje v lásku, blízkost a lepší světy, které jsou možné.
Vnitřní osvobození nakonec odráží i samotný jazyk, který se z úzkostné strohosti uvolňuje, stává se jasnějším, rozbujelejším a hravějším.
As When Waking
An exploration of poetic form, centering on the alphabet as both its medium and constraint. The poems of Daniel Schonning’s debut collection range from personal examinations of childhood suffering and loss of faith to deep observations of images and objects to the foreclosure of a family home, a father estranged by addiction, mallards on a frozen pond, flowering bindweed, and a door to the underworld. With all its component pieces, As When Waking aims to apprentice itself to the medium of letters, inviting readers to listen and learn from the systems and symmetries of alphabets. Schonning employs structural paradigms to explore themes of poetic lineage. Twenty-six of the poems in this collection are abecedarians, a form where the opening letter of each line advances through the alphabet, with the lines of the first poem proceeding alphabetically from A–Z, while those of the second poem move from B–A, and then C–B, all the way to Z–A. This structure is tied to Jewish mystic texts such as the Sefer Yetzirah, which probes the relationship between the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the world they inhabit.

From the poems of housemaids to the rhymes of kings, it's the history of Britain through the poems that people read, recited and loved.

I LOVE
In her second collection, award-winning poet and playwright Rosy Carrick presents a passionate, lyrical and unflinchingly intimate collage of ruptured memory, drowned childhood, irreducible violence, and the intoxicating chimera of inviolable desire.Experimental and playful, the poems dart across a fractured and eclectic terrain: from quantum mechanics, grimy London sex clubs and fridged women to blood retinal barrier corruption, haunted reservoirs and salted gastropods; from Baudrillard’s semiotics to the architectural aspirations of Elizabeth Bennet; from gurning infants to ecstatic glitter and misplaced canine arseholes; and always back to how it might be possible to love from under the rubble.
Onement Won
Following her acclaimed Grief Sequence, Prageeta Sharma''s newest collection, Onement Won, is at once a contemplation and a sharp critique. Having been twice widowed to cancer, Sharma questions the various relationships—familial, social, romantic, religious—that have shaped her identity.
Inspired by Barnett Newman''s Onement series as well as many texts including the Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita, Goethe''s Faust, and Audre Lorde''s The Cancer Journals, these poems explore the concept of oneness in Hinduism, Abstract Expressionism, and selfhood in an attempt at “onement with lyric certainty,” a way through ideas of prosody to a clearer sense of what is needed in freedom, suffering, and art-making. The result is a stunning work that invokes ancient wisdom into an understanding of self-care that is fiercely anticolonial and anticapitalist, while holding space for suffering as a site of transformation for us individually and collectively.
The Storm's Flora
Laura Wainwright’s debut collection is a powerful exploration of resilience in the face of ecological and human crises. Here, new life — whether in words, music, art, nature, or people — emerges from darkness and turmoil, and flourishes despite it. Natural worlds and relationships, containing the human within them, can be familiar but also strange, awe-inspiring, and beyond the confines of our typical narratives. The Storm’s Flora explores these complexities, while celebrating the particularities of place and the earth’s vivid beauty.
Common Disaster
A remarkable debut collection that chronicles the experience of anxiety and anguish in the face of COVID-19. As a front-line physician, M. Cynthia Cheung started writing poetry during the worst days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her remarkable debut collection, Common Disaster, chronicles these experiences. Confronting not just the coronavirus but also war crimes and the death of loved ones, Cheung shows us that the pandemic is only one of many disasters we hold in common. In poems that look to both the past and future, she takes a stand against the extinction of self and memory, challenging the violence of erasure. The period covered by the book is geologic and vast. It examines present-day evidence of ancient human activity and natural history, including the Lascaux caves, asteroid craters, tar pits, and Viking ruins. The poems include ghazals, thoughtful free verse, and work that takes up the page in reframing classical Chinese oracular texts to situate the pain of a doctor in crisis. As a physician-poet, Cheung asks us to see beyond the every day to the devastating truths about the human condition.
A Song Among the Stones
I am going further north, he saidI do not know what I will findperhaps I will not come backall I know is that I must seekthis somewhere with all my soulIn the 7th century, Irish hermit monks left the island of Iona and dared to cross an unforgiving ocean to the wild, unknown shores of Iceland. What did they find there, on the edge of their worl? nspired by this incredible journey, poet Kenneth Steven distilled their experience into this sequence of poems that are sparse and pared to the bone, suggesting simple fragments of story recorded by the monks after their return to Scotland. A Song Among the Stones has been taken and interpreted by numerous artists and musicians in Scotland and beyond, the latest of whom is Simon de Voil.
Painting over the cracks
Painting Over the Cracks is novelist Sophie Buchaillard’s poetry debut. Inspired by her life and a series of workshops she ran with survivors of abuse, this collection explores the relationship between unspoken shame and fraying family ties, and the healing power of expression, friendship, and community in overcoming trauma. Split into four chronological sections, the collection travels from the anxieties of a single mother to memories of buried traumas that lurk in corners of the mind, colouring every interaction to articulating the unspoken, strong from new friendships and rediscovered communities.

Kamil Peteraj sa aj v tejto zbierke rád hrá so slovíčkami, témou lásky – láska ako muž, čo dobre vie, ako chutí. Aj tá radostná, aj tá, z ktorej trhá hruď. Popri nových básňach do knihy zaradil niekoľko jeho veľmi populárnych a slávnych textov ako sú Atlantída, Balada o poľných vtákoch či Vyznanie.
Martin Augustín pripravil do knihy množstvo ilustrácií. Sám výtvarník sa netají obdivom k poézii Kamila Peteraja. Ako hlavný motív svojich ilustrácií si tentoraz zvolil ženu. Jeho ženy sú láskavé, milé, zmyselné, hrdé anjelice, ktorých protipólom sú vtáci, pávy ako symboly muža.
