Súborné básnické dielo Danuše Dragulovej-Faktorovej s názvom Básne zaznamenáva autorský aj osobnostný vývoj poetky počas troch desaťročí –s vnímaním a prežívaním toho-ktorého obdobia a reflektovaných tém ponímajúcich historicko-spoločenské reflexie, prírodnú aj osobnú lyriku, ktoré nezriedka ústia i do realisticko-poetického konštruktivizmu. Autorka sa dokáže tešiť i smútiť, snívať aj uvažovať – pochybovať i hľadať odpovede – v odraze a obraze reality, v skúsenostiach, myšlienkach i prežívaní. Silnými témami neskĺzava do formálnej schémy, ale využíva širokú škálu poetiky od štandardnej výstavby viazaného verša cez kaligramy až po formálne experimentovanie, a to v dokonalej harmónii s obsahom jednotlivých básní, čo umocňuje ich významovú osobitosť. Maľby do knihy vytvoril Martin Kellenberger. Grafický dizajn vytvoril Ján Mikulčík Vydanie knihy z verejných zdrojov podporil Fond na podporu umenia, ktorý je hlavným partnerom projektu.

Nádej je tá vec s perím / Hope Is the Thing With Feathers


Tento výber je reedíciou knihy Pre krásu umrela som (2017), iba názov sme mu dali nový. Obsahuje tiež to najpodstatnejšie z korešpondencie E. Dickinsonovej s literátom T. W. Higginsonom. V týchto listoch sa priam ukážkovo zrkadlí Dickinsonovej práca so slovom a štýlom, jej enigmatickosť, ale aj túžba dozvedieť sa, či jej „verše sú živé“. Prekladateľ Milan Richter navštívil Amherst, dom a hrob E. Dickinsonovej, ako aj jej archív v Amherst College v máji 1990 a odvtedy ešte vzrástol jeho záujem o život a tvorbu poetky. Výsledkom jeho štúdia Dickinsonovej listov, monografií o nej a ďalšej sekundárnej literatúry, ale aj prekladov do dánčiny, nórčiny či nemčiny je výber Nádej je tá vec s perím. Predkladáme ho čitateľom v nádeji, že Dickinsonovej mnohovrstevnatá poézia sa prihovára ponad oceán času a priestoru priamo od srdca k srdcu, od mysle k mysli, od tvorivej imaginácie k fantázii vôbec, bez ktorej by sme nevedeli naplno vnímať a prežívať krásu života, blaženosť i bôľ lásky a krutú nevyhnutnosť smrti.

Bathing on the Roof


Bathing on the Roof reclaims the Biblical Bathsheba as an everywoman of the ages, creating a collage of female experience in all its sensual complexity. Whether finding herself living on the streets, arriving in the Garden of Eden, giving birth, or shopping in Beverly Hills, Bathsheba negotiates the edgy boundaries of her relationships with men while navigating the confines of her body. Act-of-God-turned-celebrity diva, Flood likes to make an impression. She wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, makes a Severn Bridge of herself, parties with lightning, pouts for the paparazzi and drowns far more than she means to. Explored through the lens of the media and fame, these poems imagine how Mother Nature might respond to humanity's interference, were she as flawed and determined as humanity itself.

Francia flört


E különleges megjelenésű könyv két nagy fejezete - a Ketten és a címadó Francia flört - a mindennapok fennköltséggel átitatott, feledhetetlenné váló perceit, a szerelem-szeretet-szövetség fogalomhármasával meghatározható párkapcsolatok vívódásaival átszőve állítja elénk.

Applause for a Cloud


Sayumi Kamakura’s Applause for a Cloud uses the haiku form to attend to everyday life with a cosmological acuteness, invoking wonder on macro and micro scales.Sayumi Kamakura juxtaposes a surreal dailiness with a cosmological acuteness, invoking wonder on macro and micro scales. The paradoxical frictions in her work resolve into moments of lucidity just as often as they perplex. Although she writes in the haiku tradition, her poems detour from the conventional parameters for haiku, such as syllabic restrictions and a fixed seasonal reference. Her flexible approach to the long-standing form allows her to explore new emotional frequencies across a range of subject matter. The book’s four sections—everyday life in Japan, experiences in Morocco and Italy, her husband’s cancer diagnosis, and reflections on the pandemic—reveal the preoccupations of a poet invested in rendering her experiences with a mix of traditional and contemporary motifs alongside a subtle wit. The natural world is always close at hand, yet Kamakura does not merely depict phenomena. She creates moments of stillness that usher the reader into her inner world.

Love is a Dangerous Word


For three decades, the legacy of writer, editor, performer, and activist Essex Hemphill has been lovingly sustained through xeroxed copies of his few published works. They are as potent now as they were in the 1980s. With tenderness and rage, Hemphill's poems unflinchingly explore the complex, overlapping identities of sexuality, gender, and race, the American political landscape, and his own experiences as a black gay man during the HIV/AIDS crisis. Edited by John Keene and Robert F. Reid-Pharr, Love is a Dangerous Word contains selections from Hemphill's only published full-length collection, Ceremonies—named one of the 25 most influential works of postwar queer literature by the New York Times—alongside rarely seen poems from magazines and chapbooks. It serves as both an introduction to Hemphill’s poetic prowess and a treasure trove for those who have long awaited his return to the literary spotlight.

Stratený malý svet


Aj keď sa Zuzana Kuglerová v priebehu rokov zapísala do slovenskej literatúry predovšetkým ako autorka historickej fantasy a zberateľka povestí, trinástou komnatou jej vnútorného sveta, ktorú otvára iba málokedy, je poézia. Vracia sa k nej síce zriedkavo, ale v pravidelných intervaloch. Kuglerová sa nebojí tradičných foriem viazaného verša, má ich aj v tejto zbierke hojne zastúpené. Rovnako dobre sa však cíti aj vo voľnom verši. Nepotrebuje ekvibrilistiku ťažko uchopiteľných metafor, aby predostrela čitateľovi to, čo cíti a vníma. A vníma veľmi pozorne, až mikroskopicky. Preto v jej básnickej tvorbe nenájdeme sentiment spomienok, hoci pocit straty v nej pretrváva. Kuglerová však nestráca ani vieru ani nádej. Poďme sa teda pozrieť do jej veršov, či v nej nájdeme Stratený malý svet, odviaty rokmi.

Technelegy


An essential handbook for our time of astonishing technological transformation by the world''s leading AI poet.In 2018, Sasha Stiles found herself wondering what the rise of large language models might mean for writers - and for creativity at large.

Pretenders


In Pretenders, her third book of poetry, Kate Potts asks: what is it like, as a daily, lived experience, to feel like a fraud or a fake? And what can ‘the imposter phenomenon’ – a sense that our true abilities and achievements, and other core aspects of our identities, are unreal, undeserved or mistakenly bestowed – tell us about who we are and how we relate to one anothe? hrough lively and vivid poetic monologues drawn from original interview material, and through original poetry, Pretenders begins to consider individual feelings and experiences of fraudulence, pretence and persona in a wider social and historical context. The varied, hesitant, questing voices build to create a bold and innovative chorus. Pretenders shines a light on our value systems and hierarchies, interrogating notions of ‘realness’, self-assurance, and the self. Kate Potts' Whichever Music was a Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice in 2008 and shortlisted for a Michael Marks Award. Her first book-length collection, Pure Hustle, was published by Bloodaxe in 2011, and followed by Feral, a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.

First Rain in Paradise


First Rain in Paradise is a book about falling. Gwyneth Lewis?s highly inventive poems trace an interior landscape carved out by the trauma of childhood emotional abuse through subsequent chronic ill health and towards a hard-won resurrection. These accounts of living in and emerging from the dark wrestle with the angel of language. Suffering does not preclude humour and may, in fact, require it, in poems written from the shadows but committed to the light. This work refuses to keep pain a secret. Shame is a lurking presence. Gwyneth Lewis has won wide acclaim for her versatile and varied writing across genres, most notably in her award-winning poetry in both English and Welsh. This book shows a deepening of her technical, imaginative and intellectual resources which are challenged and exercised to the full. The poems map uneasy terrains with realism and ? most importantly ? with joy.

The Gallery of Upside Down Women


Arundhathi Subramaniam’s poems map a wobbling world, trying to find its axis in a season of change. Fabrics tear, lands splinter, stances harden, loved ones die, names dissolve. But wandering through these pages are some extraordinary women – women who vault nimbly over borders, walk naked, walk aslant, and sometimes upside down. Leaping from the past into a global present, these exuberant voices offer tips on how to retain one’s spine through life’s giddiest rollercoaster rides. Blurring the divide between the mundane and the magical, the historical and the imaginary, they point to a new world that might lie within the folds of the old. A world that requires a new set of skills: how to find the right nicknames, how to ‘gatecrash into the present’, how to ‘go skinny-dipping in the self’. These are songs of bewilderment, insight and startling freedom. Arundhathi Subramaniam has published five collections in India and three books with Bloodaxe in the UK including When God Is a Traveller (2014), which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize, and Love Without a Story (2020). Her earlier work is available in Where I Live: New & Selected Poems (2009). She has published other books on Buddhism and spiritual figures.

Prípravná čiara 57/ Preparation Line 57


Milčákov bilingválne, v reedícii publikovaný básnický text invenčne tematizuje tenziu medzi bolestne zakúšanými aspektmi skutočnosti a fikciou. Deficity skutočnosti vo vedomí autorovho básnického subjektu kompenzuje istá sebazáchovnosť a idealita fikcie, v reflexii čitateľa však zostáva znepokojujúci, obnažený existenčný „osteň“, tŕň bytia, bolesť zo straty všetkého, o čo človek v živote nakoniec prichádza. Ľudská krehkosť, jej hlboký zmysel, sa v zdanlivej indiferentnosti sveta premieta do obrazov s osudom zápasiacich zvierat (napríklad psa, líšky, drozda), ale aj nepoddajnej trávy, aby ničotu a existenčnú úzkosť v podobnom údele každého z nás aspoň na chvíľu prežiarila večnosť.

Blood Root


Reflecting on a dual upbringing in two villages, Bobcaygeon (Canada/Turtle Island) and Badela (Sierra Leone), Jessica Hiemstra’s new collection of poems delves into her relationship with home. In Blood Root, she interrogates questions of legacy, land, belonging, and the breathtaking intimacy of death. One moment tender, the next moment dark, hard, and raw, Blood Root blends diary entries, drawings, and lyricism to hold up a polished mirror to colonialism and its echoing impact. Considering beauty and horror in equal reverence “so I’m not human once removed,” Hiemstra cuts through pretence, bearing witness to humans as they confront and connect to one another and the larger world.
