Pri čítaní veršov tejto zbierky sa čitateľ ocitne: Na lúke poľných kvetov. Nad mestom. V doline pod gotickými vežami tatranských štítov. Ale i hlboko v mrazivom tichu polárnej krajiny, kde tancujú hviezdy na zelenej oblohe. Je to pre čitateľa kľúč, aby mohol vstúpiť do autorovho sveta poézie.

Tree of Knowledge


A poet watches the limbs of a eucalyptus tree get sawed off: the image persists, recurring across poems of art, language, selfhood, memory, and lossJoan Mitchell said, When I talk about love, I mean loving a tree. When I talk about love, I mean loving where a tree used to be.Men assess the eucalyptus tree growing on the poet''s street; a crane arrives. The sound of a chainsaw rings in the air and branches begin to fall. This tree-cutting haunts the poet, and refracts across the remarkable work collected in Tree of Knowledge as Chang turns her thoughts to artists such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell and Hilma af Klint.Roving, evocative, and intricate, Tree of Knowledge is rooted in Victoria Chang''s crystalline voice and generous, probing gaze, and by certain images ? trees, a hanging figure, a branch, fingertips, a briefcase ? that resurface like apparitions.

Notes / Notas


''One of the greatest poets the world has today.'' —José Saramago, Winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in LiteratureThis bilingual edition makes Juan Gelman’s hauntingly beautiful poetry collection, Notes / Notas, available to English-speaking audiences in its entirety for the first time.Originally published in 1979, Notas / Notes was composed in exile, following the 1976 military coup d''etat in Argentina. This period of state terrorism resulted in the disappearance of writers, comrades, and Gelman’s own son.With a deep appreciation for Gelman’s masterful linguistic play, translators Afsari and Tandeciarz channel the force of his poetic testimony against the real violence of dictatorship.Interweaving reflections on revolution, loss and memory, Argentina’s poet laureate conjures forth a sense of hope in the wake of inconceivable suffering.

Eating Air


Steam rises from bowls of noodle soup, tender steaks are seared in butter, sand-roasted chestnuts are shared from a paper bag. Suyin Du Bois's Eating Air is a mouth-watering book of poems about food, belonging and connection. Charting a journey across cuisines and continents, these poems carve into the author’s dual Chinese-Malaysian and Belgian heritage and food’s enduring role in our cultural, familial and personal histories. From the low stools of Penang’s kopitiams to the bright lights of London’s Chinatown, Eating Air is a love song to food and a poignant catalogue of its profound capacity to serve up memory, language, and longing.

The Never Was


A poetic celebration embracing our unfinished, imperfect, and authentic selves.The Never Was is a deeply personal return from bestselling poet Tyler Knott Gregson. Known for his intimate typewritten verse, Gregson turns inward with raw honesty, reflecting on identity, diagnosis, and the quiet beauty in the incomplete.  Prompted by a late-in-life autism diagnosis, Gregson revisits a series of poetic fragments—unfinished lines once cast aside—that now reveal themselves as essential expressions of his neurodivergent experience. Interwoven with new poems, these pieces form a deeply human tapestry of vulnerability, self-discovery, and grace.This is a book for anyone who has felt unseen, misunderstood, or like they didn’t quite fit. The Never Was is a celebration of the imperfect, a testament to the healing power of art, and a reminder that even the fragments can hold a whole world.

The Adept


In a cold, hard city, Chresta and Eran are searching…Interrogating their story in lyric poetry, The Adept examines the frequent disconnect between urbanites living side by side and the dangerous power relations in unorthodox belief systems — colloquially, cults and the cult-like. Our protagonists wrestle with their need for engagement in a world of increasing isolation via home offices and online fora. With the metaverse just around the corner, Chresta and Eran encounter callous users preying on the disenfranchised alongside, potentially, offerings of something profound — a sense of belonging in an increasingly fragmented world.

Hell Yeah


Hell Yeah, Rachelle Toarmino’s highly anticipated second collection of poems, is an intimate, ecstatic examination of the wonders of common speech. As automatic and wholehearted as a hell yeah between friends, the poems interject into various sites of the interpersonal—from a work email and doctor’s office to a long-distance call and Yahoo! Answers rabbit hole—to measure the strange, mundane, and ancient ways we relate and respond to one another. In an alternating rhythm of logic and lyric, doubt and doubling down, Toarmino regifts plain and inherited language to arrive at a theory for familiarity and something like faith: how we know what we know and why we share what we know. With curiosity, generosity, oddball intellect, and charm, Hell Yeah captures that gut impulse to feel yes, say so, and sing it.

Rope


Language is the labyrinth we're enmeshed in, and any line of exploration we think is leading us out only adds a further strand to the entanglement. Rope presents an alluring and provocative array of insights as it follows a mind on the move, ever curious and restlessly making connections. Nuggets of wisdom, snippets of anecdote and choice quotations are collected here, signposted by suggestive shoulder notes. Together they form a kind of contemporary commonplace book, accumulating with associative loops and echoes. Across three prose sections, Maurice Riordan knots together strands including scientific inquiry, colour theory and AI, philosophy, ethics and psychoanalysis. There are instructive revelations about the art of poetry, about all literature - whether the 'folly of literary ambition' or the 'sinuous garland of plagiarism' - gleaned from a lifetime of reading and writing. The middle section delves into the author's personal history, evoking a childhood in rural Cork - 'I was born into a horse-drawn candlelit world' - and a 'new self' forged in fatherhood. Riordan is an intimate and jocular narrator throughout, calling upon everyone from Shakespeare to Schrödinger, Sappho to Siri in the shaping of these piquant and unforgettable discoveries.

Stepmother


''Euripides said "better a serpent than a stepmother." For a moment, you like the idea of being a single line, winding around everything you touch. A vine.''''Brave, graceful and absolutely vital - Mort shoulders away the old trope of the stepmother and replaces her with a host of humane women'' SARAH HALL, author of HelmWhen a new relationship casts poet Helen Mort in the role of stepmother, she embarks on a personal quest for understanding; moving across verse and personal essay, from fairytale to modern blended family.Turning a bold and inventive gaze on this neglected dimension of female experience, these are candid dispatches from the shifting terrain of the modern family. As playful as it is moving, STEPMOTHER radiates Mort’s signature empathetic warmth, but with the bite of truth.Mort interleaves ravishing fragments of lyric essay with gothic flights into verse that draw us deep into the woods of upon-a-time, and back, changed, into the now. Groundbreaking and transformative, tender and uncompromising, STEPMOTHER has much to teach us about female power and the fear it still provokes, our openness to change, and the surprising shapes love can take.''I was enchanted by her blend of generous lyric and furious cultural critique. A spell for seeing differently’ CLARE POLLARD, author of THE MODERN FAIRIES

Leaves of Grass


Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a clarion call to his country's people to join together in the "crowning growth of the United States". Its patriotic zeal made him a symbol of democracy in his country long before he achieved fame there as a poet.The intense emotion of Whitman's verse celebrates the regenerative power of nature and the immortal divinity of the human soul. His passionate beliefs are evident throughout this volume - in the radical "I Sing the Body Electric"; the patriotic "I Hear America Singing"; and the romantic "As if a Phantom Caress'd Me".This collection (the so-called "deathbed" edition of 1892) represents the culmination of Whitman's life's work and contains more than 400 poems.

Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta


Po úspešných a vypredaných básnických zbierkach Striptíz, Na!, Básničky pre domáce paničky, Večný pocit nedele a Dom, vydáva slovenská poetka Mirka Ábelová novú básnickú zbierku. Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta patrí k jej najosobnejším a najsilnejším knihám. Slovenská poetka Mirka Ábelová prichádza so svojou šiestou básnickou zbierkou s názvom Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta. Nová kniha jednej z najvýraznejších osobností súčasnej slovenskej poézie preniká do najtemnejších vrstiev ľudskej psychiky a skúma, ako trauma z detstva formuje naše prežívanie, vzťahy aj schopnosť hovoriť o bolesti. Kniha je rozdelená do dvoch častí – Záznam o vzniku zvláštneho sveta a Život vo zvláštnom svete. Kým prvá zachytáva postupné odhaľovanie traumatického zážitku, druhá sa sústreďuje na osobné a vzťahové básne o snahe prežiť v „novovzniknutom zvláštnom svete“. „Zbierka Mirky Ábelovej sa stáva silným svedectvom o tom, ako žiť ďalej a vyrovnať sa s momentom, ktorý navždy zmenil tvár nášho sveta. Autorke sa podarilo zachytiť nesmierne komplexnú skúsenosť, ktorá v sebe nesie telesnosť, pamäť aj priestor, a práve tým naplno odhaľuje svoje poetické majstrovstvo” Marek Debnár

Noty samoty


"Chvíľa, raz pred šťastnými očami a raz plnými bolestí, nedáva na výber ich želaniam ani sile. Možno sa bojím, že zaniknú ľudia a že zabudnú vyslovovať slová ľudskosti. Ťažko zmeniť osud i preskočiť prekvapenie akokoľvek cnostný by bol náš život. No viem, že aj v najťažších chvíľach trápenia pomôže ľudské slovo. Ak to nevznikne, zanikne život." Denisa Stanislavová

Nesejde na tom


Básnicky debutovat na konci sedmého decennia obnáší mimo jiné i to, že si můžete dovolit téměř cokoli, ale vy to dělat nechcete, nepotřebujete, nemusíte. Moci a nemuset, moudře už nevědět, co se ví, mít nadhled a pěstovat vtip, jichž nejde nabýt jinak než odžitými roky, tvoří ale jen jednu linii prvotiny Michaela Třeštíka. Originálně vystavěné vzpomínky na uplynulé střídají postřehy o současnosti, zamyšlení nad smyslem tvorby a definicemi poezie, haiku o tom, o čem haiku mohou a nemusejí být.

Ešte


Všetky cesty vedú... domov, do vlastnej duše, k láske, k svojmu okoliu, k životu... Básnická zbierka Marty Harajdovej E š t e v tridsiatich siedmich básňach prezentuje práve to ešte: ešte viac života, ešte viac lásky, ešte viac porozumenia, pokoja, harmónie; ešte menej smútku, nedorozumení, trápení. Citlivé lyrické básne skúsenej poetky dokážu na malej ploche vyjadriť veľmi veľa emocionálnych poryvov a prežívaní autorky, ktorá vníma detaily života ako celku. Neoddeľuje vnútorné prežívanie človeka a život prírody, vníma ich ako jeden celok, čo dokazuje aj spontánne a veľmi prirodzené umiestnenie básní o prírode medzi básne o ľudskom živote. Názov E š t e vystihuje obsah a hĺbku všetkých básní: hoci sa vo svojom živote kĺžeme aj po menej bezpečných povrchoch nedokonalostí a strastí, potrebujeme život ešte viac a viac. Pretože nám dáva možnosť byť sami sebou v našej prirodzenosti. A či to využijeme, je na nás.

Two Appearances After the Resurrection


McCrae’s latest collection considers the nature of perception and experiments with form and punctuation.   This is a book about perceiving and being perceived. The various subjects of these poems are viewed by an artist, a devil, a soul floating out of a body it had inhabited, a god fed up with her husband’s infidelities, and a father whose young child has COVID-19. The poems of Two Appearances After the Resurrection are haunted by the question of what one ought to do with their perceivability. After a decade of publishing poems almost exclusively utilizing no punctuation aside from the slash, Shane McCrae began including semi-regular punctuation in his 2023 book, The Many Hundreds of the Scent. He continues that project in Two Appearances After the Resurrection. Here, he further explores the consequences—especially the rhythmical consequences—of the change. Throughout these poems, McCrae perceives and implicitly considers his own shifting approaches to writing.
