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.

The Empire of Forgetting


A powerful exploration of life and death, illness and grace, wonder and beauty, in the posthumous collection from one of our greatest contemporary poets John Burnside's last collection of new poems gathers around a single theme - mortality - and draws on his faltering health and earlier glances with death, creating a powerfully moving exploration of memory, forgetting and the seven ages. Here, as always, there is a clear-eyed curiosity; a sense of wonder at the beleaguered natural world and its endless mutability - its hidden beauty, often suddenly disclosed - and a deep faith in its old gods. Burnside was always as much a spirit-guide as a poet, and here, in the Empire of Forgetting, we are never far from a fresh alertness to the world, to epiphany - a sudden, spiritual manifestation. There is a sense, too, in these last poems, of a man having found a 'dwelling place' - a sense of rest and peace and settlement with the world. A state of grace.

Szívdesszert


„Ha nő lennék, azt szeretném, ha Varró Dani szerelmes lenne belém :-) Legalábbis a versei alapján. Távolról, ismeretlenül is. Rímesen, kedvesen, dadogósan túlbeszélősen, cseten, esemesben. Fontosnak érezném magam. Varró Dani kötete azt a kis csodát képes nyújtani, hogy az olvasó ezeket a szerelmetes verseket olvasva egyszerre érezheti magát felnőttnek és gondtalan kamasznak. Szeretsz, szeretlek, mily’ reménytelen, írja Nemes Nagy Ágnes megdöbbentő soraiban. Varró Dani meg mintha hozzátenné: ebben a reménytelenségben van ám valami játékosság is! És tényleg. A kötet versei bizonyítják. Az meg szinte mellékes is, olyan természetes, hogy bámulatra méltó formai bravúrral és biztonsággal megírt versek ezek, régóta nem látott, gondtalan játékkal megkomponált képversek és szimpatikus önkényességgel megbontott sorok és szabályok. A szíved az enyémmel nem kompatibilis, írja Varró Dani. Igen, ez az egy, amin még a kivételes tehetséggel megírt versek sem segítenek.” Jónás Tamás

Mulholland Dive


“It was the year us girls had a feminine desire to go missing,” Vanessa Roveto, acclaimed author of bodys, begins her book within the remnants of a car crash, fragmenting identity, grief, and heart.Beginning with the death of daddy, the “I” soon meshes with whatever and whomever she comes into contact with—strangers, actors, a Covid crush. She absorbs these people and objects, dispersing them into the Southern California landscape, the Uncanny Valley, warping time and naturalizing dreams.Documenting a period of both global and personal loss, Roveto crafts a book-length poem that weighs heavier than the Ego in L.A. Splintering Self between Other and palm trees in the summer heat, Mulholland Dive spins a Lynchian setting within a feminine eruption of alluring language, fluked romance, and the aftershocks of grief.

Kosti


Napříč básněmi, které jsou místy holanovsky enigmatizujícím světem, se utváří svébytný časoprostor, v němž je jednak reflektována dějinnost člověka, jeho jistá historická podmíněnost a tragédie nietzscheovského nekonečného opakování, jednak je zde reflektován i člověk současnosti, který se skrze nákupní tašky, květované ubrusy, či dokonce skafandry oné věčnosti brání.

The Gallows Songs


A collection of dazzling, playful, and linguistically inventive poetry by one of Germany''s finest writers, in a classic translation that honors the author''s amazing verbal acrobatics.Christian Morgenstern?s The Gallows Songs are some of the most delightful and imaginative creations of twentieth-century German poetry. Composed originally after an outing Morgenstern took with his friends to Gallows Hill near Potsdam, these lively, puckish poems envision Gallows Hill as a fantastical world populated with fabulous animals, bizarre mechanisms, and some truly unruly punctuation.Morgenstern felt that people often used their familiar language unthinkingly, without ever pausing to marvel at the glorious arbitrariness of words. Through poems chock-full of irresistible wordplay and unabashedly exuberant rhymes, he invites us to meditate?but also to med-it-nine and med-i-ten?on all the incidents and accidents of language that make the world of words so vibrant.True to the spirit of Morgenstern?s linguistic mischief, Max Knight?s translation sparkles with uncommon wit as it reinvents in English Morgenstern?s daring verbal acrobatics, and is itself a feat of poetic genius.

In the Hollow of the Wave


In the Hollow of the Wave, the second collection by Nina Mingya Powles, examines orientalism, art and artmaking in a time of ecological crisis. Influenced by the lives of women artists, and combining textile art, collage and poetry, these precise, remarkable poems reflect on the material of living, the thread of stories and memories held within fabrics and garments.Through museum and gallery spaces, Powles examines creation and craft as a radical act of love, reclamation and resistance to the shadow of colonial legacies and attitudes. Engaging with the work of artists such as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Yayoi Kusama, Etel Adnan and the fashion designer Guo Pei, these poems rework the notion of ekphrasis into something elemental and tactile, to find new ways of rendering shifting places, languages and selves; a thriving tapestry of nature and life in full and vivid colour.
