Grey Time
To live is to lose, to grieve is to be human. Part elegy, part lament, part love song; Julia Webb''s fourth collection Grey Time is a powerful examination of what it is to love and lose, of our relationship with both grief and the dead. Exploring the many facets and nuances of loss, Webb explores what happens before and after the sudden death of a loved one and how our relationship with them changes over time as new secrets are revealed and old hurts heal.This book is not defined by death, however, as these refreshing, evocative poems study and witness the myriad losses of a lifetime. Julia Webb turns her forensic eye on the complexity of unresolved relationships; on what is said or not said, how people behave under duress, how violence can creep into our lives, as well as exploring her own recently discovered neurodivergence. Grey Time is a revelatory collection that takes bold leaps, binding the strange and surreal to the everyday – to make possible a place where a one mother turns owl, and another mother will teach her son how to fly.
Love Letters and Pocket Knives
In Love Letters and Pocket Knives, J.J. Celli opens the window to her soul, inviting us to take a close and intimate look at the raw and unfiltered moments. Through evocative imagery and heartfelt storytelling, these poems explore the myriad shades of love from the euphoria of new beginnings to the bittersweet ache of farewell. In this autobiographical collection, each poem reads like a mini-memoir, weaving together the threads of trauma, intimacy, love, and resiliency. These poems stand strong with brave vulnerability confidently confronting those experiences in life that haunt us so we can quit ghosting ourselves. As the title suggests, Love Letters and Pocket Knives explores the delicate dance between tenderness and toughness. From the gentle caress of a love letter to the sharp cut of a pocket knife, we are reminded it is this beautiful complexity and balance that continues to encourage these human hearts to love.
Ariel
It is sixty years since Ariel was first published. This heritage edition restores Berthold Wolpe’s iconic jacket and reproduces the original distinctive typesetting in celebration of the enduring importance of a collection that contains many of Sylvia Plath’s best-known poems.Written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963, the poems are as expressive of joy as they are of desolation. The remarkable combination of artistry and intensity that was recognised on this volume’s first publication established Plath as one of the most original and gifted poets of the twentieth century.‘If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded. . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity. . . the book is a major literary event.’ A. Alvarez, Observer
Jabez Incarnate
Jabez Incarnate is the debut poetry pamphlet from Nigerian-British artist Joladé Olusanya. Written in the wake of spiritual reckoning and personal transition, the collection explores the burdens of inheritance, masculinity, faith, memory, and belonging.Olusanya’s poems travel between London, Lagos, and New York, where familial duty and the weight of culture clash and harmonise. Rooted in the language of the everyday and the epic, Jabez Incarnate is a sustained meditation on lineage, distance, and what it means to carry names, promises and absences.Through striking lyricism and cinematic frames, Olusanya captures moments of soft resistance – men at barbershops, prayer in public, grief on public transport – evoking a sense of a person trying to navigate who he is, and who he must become.
Highway Cottage
Highway Cottage weaves the story of a strange homecoming. A young poet travels to the heart of the English countryside – back to the West Country village where he grew up. Descending into the valley where the small riverside community still resides, he finds himself within a dreamlike landscape, peopled by uncanny figures: drone operators and hunters; half-familiar friends; local historians, and braying councillors trying desperately to oust a community of Travellers. Hovering between reality and folklore, the locale is at once idyllic and in decay; the visitor is both unsettled and soothed by it. Slowly, we start to sense that both villagers and poet might be under threat – not just from the future, but from the past.This book-length sequence of poems represents a ground-breaking artistic achievement by acclaimed poet Ralf Webb. Blending the eerie musicality of children’s rhymes with echoes of traditional balladry and free verse, the collection swells to an extraordinary chorus. With great clarity and affection, but not a trace of sentimentality, Webb conjures a precise vision of a rural community, surfacing the deep and urgent tensions – personal, political, and environmental – that run through Britain today. The result is a unique portrait of contemporary country life, enchanting and unnerving in equal measure.
Harbour Doubts
Bebe Ashley''s prizewinning second collection charts the poet''s efforts to qualify as a British Sign Language interpreter. Intershot with enquiries into the nature of language as it is spoken and signed, and the process of leaving and finding home, Harbour Doubts is a collection that tangles with the burning desire to communicate in the isolation of a late capitalist, post-pandemic world. It''s also a love letter to the delights of linguistics and language, a three-dimensional exploration of words and the body. Bringing together meditations on language as mediated through sound, sign, vision, and film, this exciting sophomore collection cements Bebe Ashley''s reputation as a fearless experimenter.
Something New
Until recently, a wedding was no place for reinvention: everything from the location to the outfits to the language of the ceremony was decided by our particular cultures, religions and social expectations of gender and domestic roles; and of course, many of us were unable to get married at all. Now gay marriage is legal in Britain; heterosexual couples can have civil partnerships; we can get hitched in a yurt or a cave or on a rollercoaster. But the old traditions die hard, and despite these apparent new freedoms, the word ‘wedding’ still retains so many connotations, controlling our imaginations in ways that can feel alienating or limiting. When it comes to the ‘wedding poem’, even a Star Trek themed do, with guests in bumpy skull-caps, can still translate the same old Shakespeare sonnet into Klingon. This anthology aims to shake that up, featuring poems you won’t find on any ‘lists’ in your frantic Google search. Alternative poems for alternative weddings, be they small, huge, camp as Christmas, hilarious, glamorous, shot-gun, a third wedding held in a nursing home, or the low-key but profound culmination of a forty-year love. If you’re looking for a non-cringey wedding poem, or want to be reminded of the multiplicity of love, this is the book for you.
Spočítaj mi môj dážď
Keď nový deň príde, no ja odídem,
odídem na druhý modrý svet,
nechám ti na vankúši kvet,
kvet ti mňa pripomenie.
Keď neotvorím ráno svoje oči,
keď neuvidím ranné slnko,
nechám ti moje pero,
pero mojich básní.
Takto sa prihovára čitateľovi /či čitateľke?/ v svojom debute, básnickej zbierke Spočítaj mi môj dážď autor Dávid Dzimko. Jeho verše prezrádzajú citlivosť a aj skrytý smútok básnika, tajomstvá pocitov a nálad. Máme možnosť tieto tajomstvá odhaliť, keď sa začítame do jeho knihy.
Hodina medzi dvoma psami
Debutová zbierka Igora Grossmana prezrádza, že na scénu slovenskej literatúry prichádza zrelý básnik s mnohými životnými skúsenosťami, ktoré odovzdáva cez básnické slovo svojským, nezameniteľným a originálnym spôsobom. Viditeľný je presah do hudobnej sféry, reprezentovaný piesňovými textami. Prirodzená rytmickosť, ako aj na debutanta skvelé zvládnutie princípov viazaného verša z jeho zbierky robia knihu, ktorú sa oplatí zobrať do rúk. Sú to verše, ktoré vás zasiahnu svojou intimitou a zároveň nenápadným súznením s pocitmi čitateľa.

End of Empire
From a prize-winning poet whose work ''points to an unfathomably bright future for the canon'' (Danez Smith), a stunningly lush collection about desire, mythology, and our fraught and ecstatic relationship with the natural world. A collection as remarkable for the force of its feeling as for the range of its vision, END OF EMPIRE explores personhood, and especially Black womanhood, within an ecological framework. Inspired by the language and landscape of the poet''s rural Kentucky hometown and the ways that inherited religious and political narratives shape our relationships with our surroundings and ourselves, these poems reckon with the ways the speaker, their body, and their natural and ideological surroundings continuously remake each other. Formally dynamic, emotionally resonant, and rich with biblical, mythological, and historical allusions, these are elegant, impeccably crafted pieces that evoke the fearsome power of nature and of the tangled, sensual self.

It guides us through all the weather we may face, from the stormy heartbreak to the foggy mental space to the sunny other side. Climate reminds us to embrace it all.
The only constant in life is change, and that is a beautiful thing.
Putovanie do Ikónia
Ján Maršálek (nar.1.2.1965) je autorom množstva časopisecky publikovaných príspevkov: básní, glos, esejí, recenzií. Knižne vydal niekoľko úvahovo ladených diel, v ktorých sa venuje témam časovým i nadčasovým (Cesta k bráne, Kristus prichádza, Spoločnosť bez svetla, Útek z Babylonu). Svoju doterajšiu básnickú tvorbu zhrnul do zbierok: Finta v žite (spolu s Petrom Chorvátom, 1993), Cesta z kruhu(2001), Medzi nami(2001), Privolávanie rána(2008), Priečny rez(2012).
Putovanie do Ikónia predstavuje poéziu ako sestru meditácie a modlitby, ako cestu hľadania a odkrývania krásy, obohacujúcej a očisťujúcej naše bytie. Básnik vychádza z ticha a mlčania, aby vydal svedectvo o svojej viere, o tom, čo považuje za dôležité, aby ,,vyložil slovo pre dom“ a splnil si tak svoju básnickú povinnosť. Verše sú sprevádzané ilustráciami Petra Chorváta-a v tomto spojení sa vydávajú na púť k čitateľovi.
Má vlast?
Báseň – poéma, Má vlasť? je posledným, nie celkom dokončeným dielom Karla Kryla.
Karol Kryl, autor a interpret nadčasových piesní, jazykovo vynaliezavý básnik, ale predovšetkým nekompromisný komentátor vecí verejných, sa v omto diele pokúša vyrovnať so svojimi pocitmi.
Rozpad Československa, situácia po r. 1989, nepochopenie publika a jeho dlhoročná túžba po návrate tak vedie k zničujúcemu záveru – moja vlasť už nie je….
Kniha je doplnená krásnymi ilustráciami Igora Cvacha, priateľa Karla Kryla.
Díky dvěma jazykům se neztratíme v překladu
Básnický proud mezi češtinou a polštinou. Jeden břeh, jedna řeka, jedna chvíle. Pro jednou máme jeden druhého. Téma domova, téma míst. Je to něco vzadu. Dávná vzpomínka, která se nezhmotnila. Jazyky a těla smýváme pod vodou, abychom se nepodvedli. Aby nám stačila jen ona, učíme se nedotýkat. Aby nám stačilo, že druhý existuje. Jednou tady, navždy jinde. Falešní přátelé, zrádná slova. Přijdeme, odejdeme.
Kniha vznikla na autorově rezidenčním pobytu ve Wrocławi v rámci projektu Second city.

Sing a Black Girl’s Song
I am gonna write poems til I die and when I have gotten outta this body I am gonna hang round in the wind and knock over everybody who got their feet on the ground. In the late 1960s, Ntozake Shange was a student at Barnard College discovering her budding talent as a writer, publishing in her school''s literary journal, and finding her unique voice. By the time of her death in 2018, she had scorched blazing trails across countless pages and stages, redefining genre and form as we know them, each verse, dance, and song a love letter to Black women and girls, and the community at large. In Sing A Black Girl''s Song, we meet the young Shange, learn the moments that inspired for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, travel with an eclectic family of musicians, and sit on "The Couch" opposite Shange''s therapist. We read, in their original form, the literary rebel''s politically charged verses from the Black Arts Movement era alongside her signature tender rhythm and cadence that capture the minutia and nuance of Black life.This new posthumous collection, including never-before-seen unpublished essays, plays, and poems, is a long-lasting gift from this seminal Black feminist writer, one of the fiercest and most highly celebrated artists of our time.EDITED BY IMANI PERRY
Deník haiku 5
Nejnovější Deník haiku by mohl se svými staršími bratry říct (a připomenout Karla Poláčka): „Bylo nás pět.“ Přáli bychom si slyšet, jak kterýkoli z nich přidá otázku: „A kolik nás ještě bude?“
Ne, nebuďme neskromní. Kvintet je krásný orchestřík. Ale věřme, že nezůstane u něj. Ostatně víra, ta je v Čepelkových haiku všudypřítomná.
Naopak opět ubylo žen, když už ani líbání nezabrání poznání, kam svět uhání. Leč – přestože jsou oči, které neřeknou nic, ty její ho zvou do vinic. A autor se nebojí kráčet úzkou stezkou, třeba soutěskou, jen když s hezkou Terezkou.
Toho, kdo dokáže vychutnat jeho haiku, netrápí ideály časem přejeté. Nahlédne spolu s ním do záhad, jež připravil nám Had. A pochopí, že tento tvůrce nepatří mezi hejna básníků toužících jen po svém pomníku.
Ano, můžeme uznat, že knihy jsou jen nespočetné pihy na tváři světa. Ale nebyla by bez pih fádní? Buďme vděční, že Miloň Čepelka okrášlil tvář světa celým souhvězdím pih. Je to dar, nikoli samozřejmost. Dar pro nás, že můžeme jeho knihy číst a těšit se na další. A dar i pro něj, že k němu nepřestala slétat inspirace nejen ve formě haiku.

Protocols
An urgent, poetic exploration of power, memory, belief, and the dangers and possibilities of language. PROTOCOLS: An Erasure transforms the world’s most influential antisemitic document, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, into an erasure poem exploring essential questions of power, history, and language. By redacting words from the original document, Molnar created a book-length poem that breathes space and light into a text dense with hatred. She patiently uncovers the questions buried within the source text: What is the true nature of power, and how is it tied to a fear of the unknown? How can language, weaponized and eroded, also be a tool for healing? And how can silence help us reckon with history and shape the future? Accompanying the poem, a lyric essay excavates the poet’s deep personal connection to the source text, weaving personal and collective history by traversing former concentration camps, immigrant communities in New York City, and remote desert wildernesses, and posing new possibilities for a less deterministic, more spacious and peaceful world.
