Firespitter
A long-awaited, comprehensive collection of renowned poet and performance artist Jayne Cortez’s poetry.Like the jazz rhythms that inspired and punctuated her practice, Jayne Cortez improvised her way through and across disciplines, bridging poetry and performance with music and the visual arts to create a unique body of work. Consciously rupturing the boundaries between art and politics, Cortez’s practice uneasily fits within literary movements of the 20th century, residing everywhere and nowhere between the Black Arts Movement, Surrealism, feminism, and early performance art. As intersectional as it is interdisciplinary, her work is consistently visceral and fearless, acting as a powerful expression of collective rage on behalf of the disenfranchised and dispossessed. In the words of historian Robin D.G. Kelley, “her poetry was never ‘protest’ but a complete revolt, a clarion call for a new way of life.”
William Blake: Selected Poems
''To see a World in a Grain of Sand''And a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour''William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake''s poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable ''prophetic'' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake''s poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.
Gypsy Ballads
First published in 1928, Federico García Lorca’s collection of Gypsy Ballads (Romancero gitano) marked his first major publication, and the beginning of his rise to fame. Depicting life in his native Andalucía, and the Romany peoples who lived there, it takes motifs of the countryside into its view, describing the night, the sky and the moon alongside more universal themes like life and death.Written in a stylised version of the countryside ballads that proliferated at the time, the Gypsy Ballads propelled Lorca to overnight fame, and he soon became counted amongst Spain’s finest poets. Later in his career his name became synonymous with the theatre, but this new edition of the Gypsy Ballads returns the reader to where it all began. Presented here in a smart new translation, this edition is the perfect place to discover Lorca the Poet.
The Infernal Garden
In The Infernal Garden, Gregory Leadbetter’s poetry leads us into dark and verdant places of the imagination, the edge of the wild where the human meets the more-than-human in the burning green fuse of the living world. This liminal ground becomes a garden of death and rebirth, of sound and voice, in poems that combine the lyric with the mythic, precision with mystery.Responding to the intricate crisis in our relationship to our planet and the life around us, the garden here assumes a haunting, otherworldly aspect, as a space of loss, grief and trial, which nonetheless carries within it the energies of regeneration and growth. At the heart of this bewitching book is the force of language itself – at once disquieting and healing – through which we are drawn to the common roots of art, science, and magic, in exquisite poetry of incantatory power.
So What
A bristling, invigorating new collection from the eminent American poetFrederick Seidel declares ‘I’m not as old as I used to be. / I’m getting young.’ In So What, he speeds across the island of Manhattan on his racetrack-only Superbike, hurtling into the tenth decade of his life and the sixth decade of his extraordinary career. But the path from youth to old age has not been straightforward. With a disarming combination of acuity and playfulness, the poet confronts his vulnerability while using his artfulness as a form of subversion. Rather than contemplating a return to childlike innocence, he writes, ‘I explode with rage and age.’ In doing so, he summons up a tidal surge full of shotguns and wristwatches, late-blooming love and sex, and stark glimpses of American life. At its crest stands the poet, looking over all this wreckage and creation, and he proclaims: so what.‘[A]s vigorous, insightful, moving and disturbing as his work has ever been . . . We need poets’ blessings, but Seidel’s work has never been the place to find them. Instead, he offers something else we also need: poems that won’t let us look away.’ New York Times‘Genuinely outrageous . . . he prizes uncomfortable truth-telling and has a blasé attitude to accepted pieties and the causing of offence… He is a poet who links his compromised life and self to history, politics and the public sphere.’ TLS‘So What energetically decries the spectre of death and the grinding indignities of illness and age facing the 89-year-old poet, while skewering the failures of the American empire and the west more widely . . . Seidel remains the toweringly enigmatic, ludic and at times offensive provocateur, yet his lyric abilities with image and line never lose their power’ Rebecca Tamás, Guardian best recent poetry

Western
Trampská romantika, poutnictví „postapokalyptického kmene" v obytných vozech, stejně jako odcizená práce pozdního kapitalismu a muž pozdního středního věku coby lyrický subjekt tvoří Škrabalův topos a kairos pro básnickou řeč, která sází na často anekdotickou věcnost a sebeironii. Sbírka Western je originální autorskou poezií s osobním ručením, gestem vnitřního smyslu a naděje oproti předpokladům.
Stará a nová blues
Písně a verše související s blues a s dalšími formami jazzu, s nimiž se autor seznamoval od mládí až do konce života. Tyto texty vznikaly nejen z podnětu melodie či hudebního motivu, ale od sklonku 50. let některé jazzové a bluesové prvky inspirovaly autora při hledání nových básnických postupů.

Zlatá tečka
Poslední tvorba amerického básníka Gregoryho Corsa (1930 - 2001), která čekala na své vydání přes dvacet let. Básně, uspořádané editory Raymondem Foyem a Georgem Scrivanim poupravují u českých čtenářů zavedený obraz umělce jako autora humorných a ironických básní (za všechny např. "Manželství") a představují jej jako vážného, sebezpytného básníka v předtuše vlastní smrti. Ironie nezmizela, jen velmi, velmi zhořkla.
Předmluva Raymond Foye.

Pod střechou se věší řeč
Sborník přináší práce sedmnácti účastníků třetího ročníku přehlídky poezie, jež se uskutečnila v říjnu roku 2023. V průběhu programu se nejen četlo a recitovalo, ale mimo jiné i vystavovalo, a proto v almanachu vedle poezie a občasné prózy otiskujeme barevnou ukázku z kolekce plakátů slovenských hostů festivalu – Hogwash kolektívu, jejichž díla skvěle ladila s atmosférou festivalu, ale ladí i s tím, co se děje za okny venku i v oknech počítačového prostředí.

Én, a város
Mi lenne, ha a lelked egy város lenne? Egy hely, amely tele van elhagyatott utcákkal, leomló falakkal vagy éppen fényárban úszó terekkel?
Az "Én, a város" egy önismereti kaland, amelyben az író-költő könyörtelen őszinteséggel tárja fel belső világát. Ez nem egy kényelmes utazás - ez egy ostrom alatt álló elme harca önmagával, ahol a szorongás a tűzhányó, az önszabotázs a romboló vihar, és a megváltás talán csak egy sötét sikátor mélyén vár. Készen állsz arra, hogy belépj ebbe a városba?
The Collected Poems
''a Greek gentleman in a straw hat, standing absolutely motionless at a slight angle to the universe'' E. M. ForsterE. M. Forster''s description of C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) perfectly encapsulates the unique perspective Cavafy brought to bear on history and geography, sexuality and language in his poems. Cavafy writes about people on the periphery, whose religious, ethnic and cultural identities are blurred, and he was one of the pioneers in expressing a specifically homosexual sensibility. His poems present brief and vivid evocations of historical scenes and sensual moments, often infused with his distinctive sense of irony. They have established him as one of the most important poets of the twentieth century.This volume presents the most authentic Greek text of the 154 authorized poems ever published, together with a new English translation that conveys the accent and rhythm of Cavafy''s individual tone of voice. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Plody torzných polí
Strhujúca poetická výpoveď štvrtej básnickej zbierky autorky naliehavo oslovuje a rezonuje v srdci. Neutíchajúci vír lásky, krútňava myšlienok v hlbinách duše i spoločenské turbulencie – to všetko sú prejavy živototvorného torzného pohybu, ktorý sa prejavuje všade – v nás i okolo nás. Básne ako plody rôznych foriem torzných polí si zachovávajú základné vlastnosti tohto podnecujúceho pohybu – hĺbku, dynamiku a naliehavosť.
Meruňky Donbasu
Básnická sbírka ukrajinské autorky. Za svou tvorbu získala několik ukrajinských a mezinárodních ocenění, mimo jiné Literární cenu Vasyla Symonenka. Meruňky Donbasu, autentický výrazný hlas, který vykvetl ve stepi, fatálně poznamenané těžbou uhlí a válkou. Hlas, který Ljuba Jakymčuk (1985) propůjčuje těm, jež nejsou slyšet: horníkům a dělnicím, anonymním obětem průmyslu a válečného konfliktu. Starým ženám a malým dětem, zemřelým i těm, co se nenarodili. Vytváří fantaskní světy, jimž není cizí magie, byť je často černá jako uhelný mour, který lze vydrhnout jenom s kůží.

Khosrow and Shirin
A tragic epic love story by one of the greatest medieval Persian romance poets, in a modern-verse English translationBased on historical characters of the seventh-century Iranian court and written 850 years ago, the narrative poem about Khosrow and Shirin shares a shelf with the most intensely romantic classic stories, from Tristan and Isolde to Layla and Majnun to Romeo and Juliet.The love between an Iranian prince (Khosrow) and an Armenian princess (Shirin) is at the centre of this tumultuous tale in which the powers of politics and warfare intertwine with no less powerful forces of erotic desire and the quest for personal and spiritual fulfilment.Dick Davis''s translation has captured the energy and poetry of Nezami’s original in modern verse. Khosrow and Shirin will enchant both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new audience for Nezami’s masterpiece.
