WHAT


Dr John Cooper Clarke's dazzling, scabrous voice has reverberated through pop culture for decades, his influence on generations of performance poets and musicians plain for all to see. In WHAT, the original 'People's Poet' comes storming out of the gate with an uproarious new collection, reminding us why he is one of Britain's most beloved writers and performers. James Brown, John F. Kennedy, Jesus Christ: nobody is safe from the punk rocker's acerbic pen – and that's just the first poem. Hot on the heels of The Luckiest Guy Alive and his sprawling, encyclopaediac memoir I Wanna Be Yours, the good Doctor returns with his most trenchant collection of poems yet. Vivid and alive, with a sensitivity only a writer with a life as varied and extraordinary as Cooper Clarke's could summon, WHAT is an exceptional collection from one of our foremost satirists.

That Broke into Shining Crystals


POETRY BOOK SOCIETY CHOICEReverberating with risk, this collection negotiates the darkness of injury, the potency and pain of revelation, and agency as song.For years I had no sound but his sweetness, his lye. Thus I go slow. I song last. Least. The lower.That which I had nor sound I may still song. Trauma and vulnerability – violation and its aftershock – are explored within a framework of self-determination and radical queerness in Richard Scott''s second collection. In three distinct yet interlocking parts, he documents what it is to have survived ''seismic assaults, the buried silences''. This is first pursued through still-life paintings, controlled arrangements in which time is frozen. In ''Coy'', the lexicon of Andrew Marvell''s ''To His Coy Mistress'' is repurposed to enact the collapse of language under the strain of description, punctuated by scalding direct statement. In the luminous title sequence, crystals and gemstones evoke themes of fracture and fixative, demonstrating Scott''s power as a poet who casts an uncompromising but ultimately uplifting light. ‘A luminous, uneasily beautiful set of poems.’ Rebecca Tamas, Guardian (Best Recent Poetry roundup)Praise for Soho:‘Scott’s project is as political as it is personal, and the kaleidoscopic picture of contemporary queerness he builds through these poems is as urgent as it is alluring.’ A. K. Blakemore, Poetry London‘With his electric Soho, Richard Scott has arrived like a lightning bolt in our midst. In poetry that moves so fast we’re left breathless, this is protean, irreverent, urgent work.’ Sinéad Morrissey, T. S. Eliot Prize judge''Richard Scott’s Soho is the most gripping portrayal of queer lives I’ve read so far.'' Daljit Nagra, Guardian

frank


‘The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without,’ Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss’s working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of ‘beauty or relief.’ Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and – in a word – frank.

New and Collected Hell


Award winning poet of our times Shane McCrae, 'peer to the peerless' (New York Journal of Books), takes up and turns on its head the mantle of Dante in this contemporary vision of Hell. Of death the muse is death the muse of HellIs death the muse of Heaven I don't knowO muse of where howcan I hope to goTo where I pray I'll go sing at least tellShane McCrae, one of the most prophetic and powerful poetic voices of our time, has created a twenty-first-century epic in New and Collected Hell. As David Woo wrote in Poetry, 'McCrae's poems allude to literary precursors like Dante, Milton, and the Bible, but the voice is unabashedly of our time . . . By seeking to heal the rift in his own identity, McCrae has listened intently to the literary echoes emanating from the English language and transmuted them through his own dynamic voice.' Here, he gathers new and previous work as a culmination of his long-standing poetic project: a new and unforgettable journey through Hell. McCrae's work is indelible, and this collection brings his searing vision to new depths.

Ľúbezné tajomstvá


Milan Zelinka patrí k tým slovenským spisovateľom, ktorí boli viacnásobne ocenení za svoju prozaickú tvorbu. Dnes otvára svoju dušu čitateľom vo veršoch v básnickej zbierke Ľúbezné tajomstvá. Súdiac podľa názvu, mala by byť poézia v tejto básnickej zbierke o niečom pôvabnom, milom, vábivo neznámom. Verše by mali byť ľahulinké ako jemná pena, ukrývajúca nevšednú krásu. Čitatelia prozaických diel Milana Zelinku vedia, že jeho tvorba je morálne zakotvená, že autor láskavo, no nemilosrdne, i keď s humorom, nastavuje zrkadlo, aby sme lepšie videli, akými neduhmi trpí naša spoločnosť, aby sme lepšie videli, akí sme my, ktorí túto spoločnosť vytvárame. Nezáleží na tom, či Milan Zelinka píše dlhé alebo krátke riadky, rukopis nemení, svoj postoj vyjadruje rovnako jadrne. O dobrom úmysle autora niet pochýb. Praje si, aby bol svet lepší. Možno práve preto má zmysel siahnuť po básnickej zbierke Ľúbezné tajomstvá.

The Art of Losing


Grief faces all of us in the end. This collection explores how poets have expressed and attempted to come to some kind of understanding of this universal but often under-discussed emotion.   M. Wynn Thomas explores how each poet gives full, unbridled expression of their pain, before moving towards a resolution that places the experience of grief in a consolingly meaningful context.  Covering subjects from the loss of a loved one to the death of a language, from the medieval period to the present day, this powerful collection sheds light on the pain of loss and the search for meaning and even hope in it. To those of us walking through grief and loss, these poems offer a guiding hand.

It is a blistering exploration of what it means to live in a world where everything, including your dignity, comes with a price tag.

A Full-On Basso Profundo


Ken Evans’s collection is structured in three inter-locking and overlapping sequences: Family; Masculinity; and America. Subjects range from the personal sacrifice and meaning of an organ donation; the loss of a child in still-birth; the death of a friend through drink, as well as bigger themes of our constant wars and forebodings of climate collapse. But these poems also experience hope, humour and optimism shining through – and often co-existing with the darker themes, thus poems on the small vagaries and mishaps of our digital lives, of the money-anxieties of car maintenance, or of negotiating airport security with a replacement hip.

The Rambling Sailor


In the old back streets o’ PimlicoOn the docks at Monte VideoAt the Ring o’ Bells on Plymouth HoeHe’m arter me now wheerever I go…Charlotte Mew, a Modernist poet who in her day was considered one of the finest of the age by writers of great stature, has lived for long in the shadows of the literary canon. An avant-garde Bloomsbury poet that never quite broke through into the public’s consciousness, Mew’s experimental style, with prose-like lines, has stood the test of time, and is as relevant and powerful today as when it was written.Published in 1929, a year after her tragic death, The Rambling Sailor collects Mew’s final, most powerful verse, in which love, nature and religion all intermingle to paint pictures of pain, hope and a deep love of the natural world through the writer’s knowledgeable eyes.

Nové básně


Ve sbírce Tomáše Hlinky Nové básně zaznívají na začátku sonety, které představují nejprve poutníka na cestách v krajině vod a lesů, a pak provázejí čtenáře vlídné k veršům, rozličnými situacemi až k hvězdáři, kterého napadají myšlenky o dlouhověkosti při pozorování noční oblohy. K poutníkům se básník obrací také ve druhé části sbírky, kde jsou v úvodní básni povzbuzováni na cestu vůní růží. Když vlídní čtenáři procházejí sbírkou Tomáše Hlinky Nové básně dále, mohou se zastavit u jednotlivých básní jako u etap našich životů, naší plavby, rozhlédnout se z rozhledny do krajiny očekávání nebo rozjímat či prožívat chvíle pohody anebo si vybrat z mnoha dalších básní podle svých zálib.

Mandle a citróny


Výbor z básnického díla Alberta Manzana (*1955) uspořádaný a přeložený Jiřím Měsícem (*1985) zavádí čtenáře do světa současného španělského surrealismu ovlivněného poezií Generace 27, flamencem a angloamerickou písničkářskou tvorbou. Výraznou roli v Manzanově díle hrají také podněty z abrahámovských náboženství, zen-buddhismu a mystiky, které formují ústřední téma jeho práce: oslavu ženy vnímané jako bránu k B-hu a podstatě lidství. Jeho poezie se odehrává jak v přírodních kulisách, tak ve velkoměstech, jako jsou Barcelona a Madrid, kde svůj hlavní motiv dále propojuje se smrtí, sexualitou, mystikou a rouhačstvím. Tyto náměty pak často zasazuje do humorných až groteskních situací inspirovaných vlastní bezradností a existenciálním hledáním. Součástí knihy jsou také doprovodné texty, které čtenáři přibližují kontext, odkazy a celkovou tematiku Manzanova díla. Vydání výboru navazuje na autorovu vůbec první publikaci veršů v češtině v revue Protimluv 2/2021 a jeho vystoupení v říjnu téhož roku na literárním festivalu ProtimluvFest v Ostravě.

Bezejmenný tok


Původnost těchto básnických kusů ze sbírky Bezejmenný tok je sympatická svou, snad možno říci, žensky jemnou diferencí mezi emocí a rozumem, mezi expanzí vůči světu a niterností, mezi tím, jak lyrický subjekt vnímají druzí, a tím, co je vskutku mé a co nemohu, a ani nechci sdílet s ostatními. V autorčiných introspekcích se promyšleně střídá realita se snem, přičemž obojí je zesměšňováno a zpochybňováno.

Foxglovewise


The UK debut of a celebrated American poet whose work is as lyrical as it is radical.Foxglovewise is complex but inviting, profound but wry. It is firmly contemporary while also being in lively conversation with deep histories: ‘Where do stargazers go in a city of light?’ Mlinko takes us from a Scottish cemetery to a mangrove in Florida via a supercell storm in Texas. Along the way, her use of form and rhyme is as light as it is enlightening as she probes our all-too-human nature and pays careful attention to the quiet marvels to be found by looking carefully at right where we happen to be.‘Mlinko is rarely less than dazzling thanks to the pleasure and rigor of her phrasing. . . layered, allusive, and intelligent poems. . . . There is a moving and unignorable sense of grief and loss beneath the surface, in an expertly managed balance with the luster of the vocabulary and music of these poems.’ Publishers Weekly (starred review)‘Mlinko delivers again on the promise of a richly rewarding smorgasbord of sound, image, feeling, and thought.’ Diego Báez, Booklist‘Image-rich [with] densely discursive textures [...] This is a big and imposing book, worldly wise but warmly open and giving.’ David Wheatley, Guardian, Best Recent Poetry
