Sudden Light
Much of Sudden Light, Irish poet Enda Wyley’s 6th collection of poems, takes place in the centre of her native Dublin where the poet lives. Views and glimpses of the immediate city, both as foreground and background, as well as interactions with its inhabitants, comprise the daily exchange of life and create the sense of a present moment balanced on the city’s various layers of personal and shared history. Many of the poems respond to a wide range of paintings, from Janet Mullarney to Luca Signorelli, and photography is also an inspiration as if memory were a kind of picture-taking or -making – the job of the passing poet to observe, to record, and to move on.
Storm Damage
Storm Damage weaves personal, historical and mythological threads to create a book that recognises and celebrates the power of words, not least in times of personal and collective challenge. Whether charting the events of her own family life or responding to records in Dublin’s North Inner City Folklore Collection, the poems and songs contained here have the shadow, and occasionally the light, of history cast over them. For a book in which the word ‘home’ makes frequent appearances, Cullen’s world is never closed but always open to the outsider, the less fortunate and the downtrodden. Health concerns give Storm Damage an added resonance, but Cullen’s power is as a singer of hurts – and of salves – beyond the merely personal, and in this energetic and engaged new work, she takes to her role with a persuasive and light-footed passion.
New York Trilogy
An American long poem in three sections by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Peter Balakian that moves between decades of tumultuous life in New York City and explosive parts of the Middle East. In an inventive, elliptical language, New York Trilogy explores one man’s journey from the late 1960s to the twenty-first century, as he moves through a series of experiences centered in New York City and the surrounding New Jersey Palisades. Throughout this long poem in three parts, the protagonist’s life is impacted by historical events including the Armenian Genocide, the bombing of Hiroshima, the Vietnam War, the AIDS epidemic, the attacks of September 11th, the US war in Iraq, and the climate crisis. Comprised of three multi-sequence poems originally included in Peter Balakian’s collections No Sign, Ozone Journal, and Ziggurat, the sections of New York Trilogy come together to form a poetry that embraces interior and aesthetic experiences, celebrates human intimacy, and bears witness to history. The historical power and psychological depth of Balakian’s work expands on the tradition of the American long poem with a lyrical narrative that weaves intimate personal moments into the vastness of shared history.
The Poems of Seamus Heaney
‘More than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of.’ John CareyThis is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaney’s poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Human Chain (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a selection of unpublished material chosen by the poet''s family.It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the ‘lyrical beauty and ethical depth’ cited by the Nobel committee: poems ‘which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.’Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this the essential volume for admirers of Heaney''s work.‘Heaney’s voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself.’ Helen Vendler‘His is “closeup” poetry – close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does.’ John Banville‘These poems find – in the dowser’s gift and the child’s perception of the world – images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded. . . Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety.’ Jamie McKendrick‘For Heaney, there were marvels enough in this world, and never mind the next. Ordinary objects and places – a sofa, a wireless, a satchel, a gust of wind, the sound of rain – were sanctified.’ Blake Morrison
Gyengédség
A bálna nem motívum paradigmatikus indulása után második verseskötetében Zilahi Anna az emberi érintkezés és megismerés határait, természetes és mesterséges eszközeit, lehetőségeit és vakfoltjait kutatja tovább. Mit is jelent önmagán túl a megszólítás, az odafordulás, az elhallgatás, vagy éppen a visszhang? Ahogy egyik versében írja: „egymás szavait visszhangozzuk, így válunk magunk is visszaverődéssé.”
De hol húzódnak az én vagy a te természetes határai? Zilahi Annát a beszéd és a csend lélektana és akusztikája érdekli. Empatikus humorral és következetes játékossággal mutatja meg azt a szerteágazó természeti rendszert, amelynek az ember – hiába hiszi, hogy az irányítója, sőt megteremtője – legjobb esetben is csak a részese. Hol a másik közel engedése, hol az én eltávolítása nyit új perspektívákat, így lesz a figyelem és a gyász mellett a címadó gyengédség is a könyv fontos motívuma.
A képzőművészként is alkotó Zilahi Anna verseiben tükröződik a művészetközi érdeklődés: a képversek mellett zenei utalásokkal is találkozhatunk a kötetben, amely az archaikus és a posztmodern végpontjai között, éppen a múltunk kultúrtörténeti leletein keresztül nézve, a bizonytalan, félelmetes, helyenként mégis káprázatos jövő horizontja felé pillant.
Dad Vs Dad (2nd Ed)
Slipcase 2nd edition of this delightful, moving VERVE Poetry bestseller.In November 2021, Helen Mort’s father had two life altering strokes.Dad vs. Dad is an account of the aftermath of those strokes. In this hardback multi-media pamphlet length collection, Helen Mort combines lyric poetry with visual-text pieces involving erasure poetry made from working with one of her father''s favourite chess books. The effects of a stroke and stroke recovery are documented through the language of strategy and struggle.‘In chess, a move requires a response (until it doesn’t, like the game of life). Check. Check mate. Erasing elements of an existing text, I set arbitrary rules for myself. There is an arrangement here, a sequence, an attempt to find a pattern. Grappling with a text is easy. Grappling with your own altered body and brain is hard. These pages do not reflect my dad’s experience of stroke or my mum’s experience of supporting him in ongoing recovery. They are just a series of movements. They take the time they take (until time takes them).’ – Helen, in her introduction

Square Baw
Square Baw is a collection of football poems that not only covers personal experience, but takes a deep dive into the history of the Scottish game itself, and thereby goes to the heart of Scottish masculinity.''Hamish’s love of the beautiful game shines like a floodlight in this beezer of a collection. He effortlessly combines the punchy, gallus fever of the terraces with this tender, lyrical, homage to football’s past. A master of language, a poet secure in his craft, the Bankies Bard has done it again!'' Julie McNeil, Poet, author of We Are Scottish Football and co-editor of A Most Unsuitable Game
Básně a nebásně
Je až neuvěřitelné, jak se verše v knize Básně a nebásně shodují s barevnými ilustracemi Josefa Velčovského. V knize je jich celá galerie, vytvářejí prostor, ve kterém se Žáčkovy básně bezpečně pohybují jakoby ve svém vesmíru. Rozum a cit v nich dosahují rovnováhy, i když žádnou chvíli nejde vrátit zpátky. Nevrátí se láska, radost nebo sláva a nelze pozdržet ani pocit štěstí, ale můžeme se také bránit návratu tragédií, zloby a bezbřehého smutku, když budem dny, které ještě přijdou, brát jako svátky. A na to je potřeba mít kuráž a osvobodit se.
Hlasy spoza hraníc
Tretia básnická zbierka Dušana Šutaríka Hlasy spoza hraníc predstavuje zmenu v jeho doterajšej poetike a posun od prvých dvoch kníh Neviditeľný terén a Správa o fiktívnej monarchii.
Nové básne sú priamejšie, myšlienkovo zovretejšie a kriticky, ale aj s čiernym humorom sa vyrovnávajú s viacerými problémami súčasnosti. Tematizujú technokraciu, byrokraciu, digitalizáciu, virtuálnu realitu, umelú inteligenciu a s nimi súvisiace odľudštenie. Zbierka vytvára zvláštny, v mnohom bizarný až dystopický svet, ktorý je odrazom našej súčasnej spoločnosti a vyjadruje znepokojenie nad jej možným budúcim smerovaním. Zároveň si kladie otázku, aké miesto v tomto svete má poézia ako taká.
Autor v knihe do istej miery ustupuje od abstraktného, snového ladenia predchádzajúcich zbierok. Siaha po jazyku úradných zápisov, protokolov, byrokratických nariadení, ale aj vnútorných monológov. To všetko s cieľom nájsť básnický výraz, ktorý by sa neuzatváral do seba, vzťahoval sa k dnešnému svetu a zároveň bol otvorený viacerým interpretáciám.
Magadh
Winner of the Sahitya Akademi AwardMagadh, Shrikant Verma’s masterpiece, was first published in Hindi in 1984 and is widely regarded as one of the most important works of modern Indian poetry. A chorus of narrators – commoners, statesmen, nameless wanderers – pieces together the histories of ancient cities and kingdoms on the Indian subcontinent, their rise to splendour, their decline and eventual fall. In poems that are stark and urgent yet arch and richly allusive, Verma lays bare their tales of corruption, guilt, ignorance and arrogance. Rahul Soni’s landmark translation stays faithful to the spare, haunting, incantatory cadences of the original, revealing how startlingly prescient and relevant Magadh remains today.‘Forty years after, these poems are more relevant than ever, telling of power’s hollow victories, the peculiar burden of joy, how sorrow finds us wherever we may hide.’ Jeet Thayil
Goose
Poems that retrace unconscious lines of thought and flight to write a new history of the tar sands
Tracing words the way a tracker moves across land, Goose collects hand-copied details from Northland Trails, a book of self-illustrated short stories, poems, and essays about the Athabasca region authored by “father of the tar sands” S. C. Ells. At turns cheeky, sharp-witted, and grave, Melanie Dennis Unrau’s poems explore extraction and the relationship between humans, non-humans, and the land, resulting in an act of irreverent, deconstructive literary criticism.

Piate koleso
Ak máme hovoriť o najvýznamnejších vynálezoch ľudstva, nemožno sa nepristaviť pri kolese. Samo osebe je dokonalé. Nič z neho nevytŕča a nič mu nechýba. Avšak vynájsť ho nebolo ľahké. Platón hovoril, že základné stavebné kamene sveta sú hranaté a moderný výskum túto jeho domnienku potvrdzuje. Dôkaz si môže každý opatriť sám. Stačí udrieť do steny kladivom a potom sa lupou pozrieť na výsledok – praskliny v omietke budú hranaté, nie okrúhle. Objaviť kruhy v prírode sa dalo iba na hladine v podobe prchavých spomienok vody a odvekej Luny na nočnej oblohe. Nuž, ale kto mal čas pri všetkých tých stresoch evolúcie dívať sa dole alebo hore? V prvom rade inžinieri, ktorí koleso skonštruovali a zbohatli na ňom. A, prirodzene, chudobní básnici, ktorí o kolese odjakživa skladali básne. Trebárs aj o tom piatom. Lebo aj ono je dokonalé. A môže byť aj rezervné.

Earth Prayers
‘Carol Ann Duffy is the most humane and accessible poet of our time’ - GuardianThe wonders of nature have inspired poets for centuries, stretching far back beyond the Romantics. Beautifully curated by Carol Ann Duffy, the poems in Earth Prayers span widely across time, but in their moments of joy, empathy or difference, even the earliest poems reveal a concern for the welfare of our planet. Duffy brings these early eco-poems into conversation with contemporary voices writing into the environmental crisis, and through this dialogue sounds a clarion call to cherish and defend the planet while we can.From John Clare to Lucille Clifton to Kathleen Jamie, the poets collected in Earth Prayers speak at times as stewards and ambassadors of the earth, at others in anger at those who would exploit nature, or to question their own part in its decline. And the earth speaks back: in Stephanie Pruitt’s ‘Mississippi Gardens’ the soil bears witness to the worst of human history, while in ‘Poem’ Jorie Graham relays the earth’s plea: ‘remember me’.To encounter nature, these poems tell us, is to be humbled, to have our own smallness magnified by the presence of the sublime. Earth Prayers is a testament to the immense beauty of the natural world, and a challenging reminder of our place in ‘the living skein / of which the world is woven’.
