Sweeney as a Girl


Jaki McCarrick''s debut poetry collection opens with the title poem which recasts the crazed king of Irish legend as a modern-day female struggling to cope with the distractions and pressures of our age.London-born, and raised there and in Co. Louth, again and again McCarrick is drawn to the exploration of difference, of otherness, her keen eye seeing never just place alone, but glimpses of the longer narratives of connection and belonging.Throughout, the various roles of daughter, writer, friend, lover and neighbour are interrogated, with more than once a voice delivering a surprising new perspective on what we thought we knew or take for granted.

Na ceste za svetlom


Vrecková poézia všedných dní s názvom NA CESTE ZA SVETLOM je malá knižka, ktorá sa zmestí do zadného vrecka nohavíc. Krátke básne sú inšpirované úplne obyčajnými vecami, ktoré sme už takmer prestali vidieť. Mňa však stále bavia, rád ich znova objavujem a pomáhajú mi prežiť ďalšiu noc, keď túžim nájsť svetlo, ktoré vie náhle zmiznúť a dostavia sa tmavé dni bez slnka. Melancholické, smutné, keď sa človek cíti úplne osamotený v tomto nerovnom rozložení síl. Sú to jednoducho dni, ktoré dusia všetko teplo bytia. Je to pocit, ktorý pozná každý človek a vyrovnáva sa s ním ako najlepšie vie. Ja s ním vediem dialóg a to je moja cesta za svetlom.

Doma v bezpečí


Svět poezie Petra Ligockého je vymezen gestem trvale přítomné laskavosti vůči ostatním i sobě, které se objevuje i ve sbírkách předešlých, zde však je umocňováno zkušeností hned několika generací. Série básnických textů s latinskými názvy Pupus, Ictus a Pro avus a římskými číslicemi skládají mozaiku trojgenerační zkušenosti: nedávné minulosti, zkušenosti s trvalým handicapem i rodinnou anamnézu generace prarodičů. Tyto paměťové stopy podobně jako ve středověkých kronikách nerozlišují „bájná vypravování starců“ nebo vlastní zážitky, ale tvoří jednolitý proud.

The Men Who Killed My Mother | Los hombres que mataron a mi madre


A powerful account of the symbolic murder of the poet’s mother. From the first poem in this bilingual edition of The Men Who Killed My Mother, it is evident that the mother in “Our Mother” (“Nuestra Madre”) is not only Fernando Valverde’s. The soulful refrain of “mother/madre” might be anyone’s mother whose suffering is palpable in a world legislated over by men. Issues such as orphanhood, abuse, violence, manipulation, and fear are treated with the rawness of someone who has tasted the venom of betrayal. This is a lyrical dark garden of faith and family, exposing treachery and cruelty, and anger at injustice, from the voice of a son with deep love for his mother—for her honor, dignity, and dreams.  Valverde leads us into a forest full of wolves and serpents under the governance of civil society. He has received many awards for his poetry and is recognized as one of the most highly acclaimed poets of his generation in Spain. This heartfelt English translation by Gordon E. McNeer captures the power of Valverde’s poetic cadences and its haunting evocative lyricism.

I Hope This Helps


Bending genre as a planetary body might bend spacetime, Bashir’s poems live as music and film, as memoir, observation, and critique, as movement across both cosmic and poetic fields.I Hope This Helps reflects on the excruciating metamorphosis of an artist, “a twinkle-textured disco-ball Jenga set” constrained and shaped by the limits of our reality: time, money, work, not to mention compounding global crises. Think of a river constrained by levees, a bonsai clipped and bent, a human body bursting through shapewear. Begging the question, what can it mean to thrive in the world as it is, Bashir says, “Rats thrive in sewers so / maybe I''m thriving.” In these moving, sometimes harrowing meditations, Bashir reveals her vulnerable inner life, how she has built herself brick by brick into an artist.

Tao te ťing: O tajemství hlubším než hlubina sama, 6. vydání


Kniha Tao te-ťing představuje jednu ze základních knih světa a hlavní zdroj čínského malířství a poezie. V roce 1973 byly v hrobce Ma-wang-tuej odkryty na hedvábných svitcích nejstarší známé texty knihy, ale ke skutečné senzaci došlo v roce 1993, kdy byl v jiné hrobce Kuo-tien vykopán text Taa někdy z roku 350 před Kristem. Nález má stejný význam, jako měly kumránské svitky pro biblická studia. Tento překlad se vrací ke starému, syrovému Tau. Je silné, archaické a podivné. Každá kapitola knihy je doprovázena stručným komentářem literáta Wang-Piho ze 3. století po Kristu.

Clay


Poetry that finds meaning and connection in the process of creating pottery from clay.   The poems in Clay look to the process of forming clay on a potter’s wheel to examine our sense of touch and texture, emptiness, fragility, and the nature of time. Martha Ronk moves through the steps of creating a pot that must be formed, dried, bisque-fired, glazed, and fired again. This practice is paralleled in Ronk’s process-oriented language that addresses how we read texture and color, the ways history and landscapes appear in glazes, Mimbres bowls that covered the faces of the dead, and Giorgio Morandi’s still life paintings of ceramic forms. For Ronk, pottery raises questions about the value of repetition, inevitable failure, and how we may become one with matter. As the potter’s hands ache and age, the bowl seems to age as it slumps or breaks. Clay includes observations from other potters and writers as well as small photographs of pots.

Apprentice to a Breathing Hand


Poetry that considers how we live with constant shifts, positioning alchemy as an example of endless change.   The poetry of Laynie Browne’s Apprentice to a Breathing Hand explores alchemy, connectivity, and perception. Throughout the collection, Browne considers the formation and limits of personhood, the experience of a body moving through time, and the imperative to continually learn and unlearn. Browne looks to alchemy as a practice for cultivating the impossible, positioning it as a fitting model for our current moment. In the material of language, meaning must be unmade and remade endlessly, and in this continual regeneration, Browne considers the alchemy of how a poem can in turn transform the poet. Moving through methods of making and unmaking, the collection centers on the figure of an apprentice working in a space of indeterminacy, lack, breath, and constant shifting.

Everything is Present


Poems within Everything is Present have won The Ledbury Competition, The Wigtown Prize, and were featured in The Forward Book of Poems of the Year.‘As brave, as bravura, a performance as the ill-advised, little-known acts it celebrates, this is both a lament and a defiant affirmation of an individual’s life.’ Phillip Gross, Ledbury Prize‘A stark and timely reminder of how there is always some level of choice when it comes to traditions and symbols, and the significant role this choice has in harming or healing our collective and individual relationships with the past.’ Roseanne Watt, Wigtown PrizeEverything is Present is a mid-life coming of age tale. The back to front narrative is divided into three sections, End, Middle and Beginning. Poems explore the effect of grief and ageing and the ability of these two to alter the past as well as the present. The title comes from a Buddhist meditation referring to the non-linear nature of time as well as its gift.The first section End contains award-winning elegies for a mother who died on a locked-down ward during the pandemic and a grandfather who escaped from Nazi-occupied Lwów (then in Poland, now the Ukraine). There is also a Ledbury-winning poem describing a Jerry Lee Lewis- loving father’s visit to A&E. The second section Middle negotiates the shifting ground of middle age exploring women’s bodies, work, therapy and the consolations of love and spirituality in poems featuring amusement arcades, train derailments and Allen Jones’ controversial women as furniture sculptures. Beginning revisits youthful sex, running away from home and Happy Shopper before embracing middle aged sex and then returning in a (never) ending to the mother.

Water, Water


''Among the best poems that Collins has ever written'' – NPRIn Water, Water Billy Collins writes with joy and wonder about the beauties and ironies of everyday life. The best poems, he believes, begin in clarity and end with a hint of the sublime: A cat learns to drink from a swimming pool. An astronaut recites Emily Dickinson in space. Here is a writer devotedly in love with the world around him, fascinated by its pleasures but generously sensitive of its pains.Ever a laureate of the oblique, Collins is especially sensitive to disappearances and acts of concealment, sketching objects by the outlines their absence leaves: ‘Everything in this hard place’, reflects one voice in ‘Crying in Class’, ‘is designed to disappear.’ From grief’s soft echoes, to the atheist equally afraid of heaven and hell, Collins remains as keenly vigilant of the light as he does the shadows which dance at its edges.‘A poet of plenitude, irony, and Augustan grace’ The New Yorker''Witty, wry and tender when it hurts, Water, Water is a pleasure to read and easy to give'' – The Washington Post
