The Poems of Sylvia Plath


'When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it.' Sharon OldsThe Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poet's work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plath's first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plath's extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in literary history.

Milk Wood Memoir


Milk Wood Memoir, the fourth collection by Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, opens with a handful of family recollections of Dylan Thomas, including Samantha’s grandfather’s presence in the poet’s house on the night he was shot at in March 1945. Thomas’s wartime sojourn in New Quay in West Wales from 1944 to 1945 was one of the most important creative periods in his life. Many scholars have linked the small coastal town to the imagined Llareggub (buggerall) in which Thomas set his most famous work, Under Milk Wood. New Quay’s present-day poet-resident, Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, takes up the baton of the guide who never made it into the final version of Thomas’s play, showing us around her hometown through the eyes of its inhabitants past and present. In a series of eco-elegies, she explores how the wood of Under Milk Wood is turning into a floating forest due to coastal erosion. The paths once walked by Dylan Thomas between his bungalow and the pubs of New Quay are slowly collapsing into the sea, taking with them both trees and houses. As the guide takes us along the path she points out moments and monuments, all the while relating various ‘hanes’ (pronounced ha-ness, a Welsh word for stories, gossip) relating to local characters, a sort of family lore handed down the generations. Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch takes us by the hand and shows us the joys and sadnesses, excitements and fears behind the doors of the town she believes is key to Under Milk Wood. ‘Wynne-Rhydderch’s poetry masters a variety of styles, is intelligent, sincere, and deeply human. How lucky we are to have a guide like her’ – Matthew Dickman

The Boat Game


The Boat Game moves through a world of ships, ferry routes, offshore rigs, and subsea cables, tracing the hidden systems that connect lives across oceans and islands. Here tourist cruises hover above the wreck of the Titanic, decommissioned oil platforms linger as accidental reefs, and radio signals carry fragments of human voices across open water. From Shetland sea stacks to space missions, from childhood imaginings to maritime rescue channels, Siún Carden’s poems explore what it means to travel, to depart, and to remain. Siún is a poet of quite remarkable talent and potential. Her work is a concise, surprising and imaginatively bold interrogation of our relationship with both natural and unnatural worlds. Every one of her poems, to paraphrase Dylan Thomas, is an event, a happening, an action, not a still life. – John Glenday Wry, surreal, and always humane, Carden’s poetry is a lightbox to which she holds up the astonishing facades of Anthropocene existence. – Jen Hadfield

Pevnost kořenů


Sbírka Pevnost kořenů přináší básně prostoupené tichem krajiny, hloubkou víry i naléhavostí současného světa. Autorka Marie Dolistová ve verších citlivě zachycuje proměny přírody, lidského nitra i času, který plyne mezi zrozením a odchodem. Motivy lesa, putování a světla se zde prolínají s otázkami smyslu, utrpení i naděje. Vedle meditativních a duchovně laděných básní se ve sbírce objevují i silné reflexe aktuálních událostí a bolestí světa, které kontrastují s tichou krásou haiku a obrazností přírodních scenérií. Pevnost kořenů je knihou o hledání pevného bodu v nejistém světě – o návratu k podstatě, k víře, k tichu, které dokáže nést i v časech zkoušek.

Adaptive Strategies for a Sensitive System


Adaptive Strategies for a Sensitive System is a lovingly disordered field guide for surviving a world that keeps turning up the brightness. Disguised in the respectable badge of a diagnostic title, this is in contrast a poetic log of being too sensitive in a society built for the perpetually unbothered. From violent mornings to dreich late nights, Kate sifts through bedrooms, public transport, supermarkets, her Gran’s house, the surveillance-era optimism of mindfulness apps, and the wild terrain of her own mind- gathering softness, silliness, and unexpected wisdom along the way. With raw energy, wry humour and the stubborn softness of someone who has spent a lifetime feeling like a faulty blue tooth speaker trying to connect, she questions what’s innate, what’s inherited, and why everything seems to be “improving” faster than any of us can adapt. Connection, dislocation, loneliness, identity, social failure, and the strange hope that still glimmers beneath it all; this is a companion for anyone who has ever felt out of alignment with the world’s settings, and is still learning how to stay tender without falling apart.

Porcelán


Texty v debutovej básnickej knihe Veroniky Kolejákovej Porcelán prepájajú intímnu skúsenosť so znepokojivou laboratórnou optikou: telo je pozorované, klasifikované, tvarované, vystavené tlaku a deformácii, a zároveň prežívané zvnútra ako miesto napätia a zraniteľnosti. Výrazným prvkom je ženská skúsenosť práce, starostlivosti a sebatvorby. Dôležitou vrstvou cyklov sú rodinné vzťahoch a rozličné stratégie prežívania v ich dysfunkčných podobách. Objavujú sa každodenné prostredia – škola, práca, domácnosť či zdravotnícke zariadenia –, v ktorých sa odohrávajú malé aj zásadné konflikty. Do popredia vystupujú aj skúsenosti detstva a dospievania: situácie poníženia, vzdoru aj izolácie. Prežitie a definovanie seba sa deje ako séria prispôsobení, opráv a deformácií. Blízkosť je možná len nepriamo, v zástupných gestách, skutočný kontakt je nedostupný alebo rizikový. Porcelán tak slovenskú poéziu obohacuje o nový výrazný a nenápadne sebavedomý autorský hlas. Veronika Kolejáková (*1978) vyštudovala psychológiu na Filozofickej fakulte Univerzity Komenského a divadelnú dramaturgiu na Vysokej škole múzických umení. Popri autorskej a dramaturgickej činnosti v divadle a televízii sa venovala prekladom odbornej literatúry a drámy. Ako psychologička a Gestalt terapeutka sa v individuálnej a skupinovej práci zameriavala na problematiku dopadu klimatickej krízy a spoločenských zmien. Poéziu publikovala v časopisoch Dotyky, Glosolália a na platformách Psí víno a Kapitál. S cyklom básní Andrej ~ Marta sa stala víťazkou súťaže Básne 2016. Od roku 2025 pôsobí ako umelecká riaditeľka Divadla P. O. Hviezdoslava. Žije v Bratislave.

Abeceda lásky


Miloň Čepelka říká o novém vydání své básnické sbírky: „Abecedu lásky jsem napsal v minulém století na přelomu tíživých roků sedmdesátých a osmdesátých, protože mi bohatá hravost češtiny vracela víru v lepší časy. Když mě na stará kolena občas znovu přepadá skepse, těším se nadějí, že snad ta prostá čtyřverší můžou někomu stejně posloužit i dnes. To bych byl namouduši rád.“

Selected Poems


Leontia Flynn is one of the key poets of her generation. This first selection of her work reveals how her poetry, so often pained, funny, and heartfelt, also describes a life lived in the first quarter of the twenty-first century with unmistakable freshness and vivid clarity. Flynn brings dark humour and tenderness to her characteristic subjects: childhood inheritance, the North of Ireland and its history, physical fragility, mothers and single motherhood, love and loss. Bringing together work from her five previous collections, this Selected Poems, in its variety of forms, registers the trajectory of a life: the awful and exhilarating experiment of existing in a turbulent world.

The Committee of Men


James Ciano’s debut collection, The Committee of Men, explores the cycles of violence men inflict on one another and themselves, examining how silence, shame, and inherited expectations shape masculine identity. Rooted in the speaker’s experience as a college athlete from a family of athletes—including a father who is a high school football coach—these poems confront the emotional weight of tradition and the often-unspoken struggles of male intimacy, mental illness, and familial pressure. Through sharp lyricism and emotional honesty, Ciano delves into themes of belonging and exile, accountability and forgiveness, and the quiet damage done by historically unexamined masculinity, asking what it means to break these generational cycles without severing connection, and how healing might emerge in places where vulnerability is discouraged or denied. The result is a collection that is both unflinching and deeply humane—an urgent, resonant debut that refuses to look away. The Committee of Men also includes a foreword by acclaimed poet David St. John, whose introduction situates Ciano’s work within a broader conversation about masculinity and poetic tradition, and underscores the collection’s emotional depth and significance.

Les Portes


Winner of the 2025 CAAPP Book Prize, selected by Cameron Awkward-Rich, and named a "Best Poetry of 2025 and 2026” by Ms. Magazine, Les Portes traces how harm against women and femmes takes root, recurs, and reshapes itself across generations. Unfolding in three movements—Le Début, Le Passé, and Le Présent—all of which rupture conventional domestic abuse narratives, and drawing heavily from zuihitsu, ekphrasis, erasure, and found forms to mirror the fractured experience of living through and after harm, these poems serve as radical meditations on the power to reflect as resistance. A queer woman caught in an abusive marriage begins to reimagine justice not as punishment but as something restorative, collective, and deeply non-carceral. In her debut book, Nnoka poses the question that propels the collection: “Where is the path forward / that ensures no recurrence?” Rather than gesture toward resolution, Les Portes dwells inside this question, and what emerges is not consolation but an immense reckoning.

Tvůj dotek mi utek...


Poezie jako zbraň proti relapsu. Autorka vyhrává boj s poruchou osobnosti i vlastní hlavou – a chce vás mít u toho. Musela opustit milovanou osobu, aby neztratila samu sebe. Zůstalo jen zoufalství a osamění. Relaps si zakázala. A tak psala, psala, psala, až se z ničivé prázdnoty zcela vypsala. A poprvé v životě našla lásku sama v sobě. Syrový otisk cesty od truchlení, samoty a závislosti k osvobozující síle. Svoboda, co stojí za každou slzu. Pro všechny, kteří potřebují vědět, že v tom nejsou sami.

Prezimovanie duše


Po zbierke haiku Slabikovanie duše (Signis, 2022) prichádza Jozef Tatár s ďalšou zbierkou tejto japonskej formy poézie Prezimovanie duše. Názov jemne naznačuje emóciu i atmosféru básní: stretávame sa so smútkom, melanchóliou spojenou so sklonkom roka a života, aby ich následne vystriedala nádej, optimizmus a očakávanie príchodu niečoho nového, radostného, šantivého. Autor sa však nevyhýba ani iným témam, ako je literatúra, výtvarné umenie, okolie v meste/ dedine a pod. Ide o čriepky, postrehy detailov každodenného života, jednotlivé haiku sú akoby zábleskami, ktoré si (ne)všimneme pri bežných činnostiach, avšak príroda je najmocnejším všeobjímajúcim činiteľom, v ktorej všetko žije. Aj ľudia..
