Everything Everyday


Everything Everyday is a poetic journal of the year that charts winter through to autumn in a richly textured sequence of diary-poems, lyric fragments and a crown of sonnets. Each month’s entry weaves together mythic figures – Tahlequah the mourning orca, Brigid’s mountain dance, Sister Icarus’s fragile flight and Beira’s shore vigils – with the unfolding chronicle of contemporary grief and protest. Readers move from January’s frozen harbour and political flashpoints into spring’s ritual planting of ‘lemon-drop’ seeds, summer’s drum-driven rallies and smoky vigils, and autumn’s oil-slick swans and ash-borne snowdrops. The collection’s formal innovations mirror its thematic urgency: bracketed interjections pulse like heartbeats, dated stanzas resonate like journal entries, and the season-by-season structure creates a mythic ledger of solidarity and hope. Lavery’s work becomes both witness and archive—where personal confession and public ritual converge in an unflinching testament to collective mourning, unbroken resilience, and the ember of promise that refuses to cool. Each poem is an unflinching exploration of memory and identity in an era defined by both loss and possibility. Bold, uncompromising, and deeply resonant, Everything, Everyday invites you to confront the delicate art of living—and loving—in a world that is as beautiful as it is unpredictable.

It is merciless and vulnerable and far ranging.' —Audre LordeAlongside her invaluable contributions to social justice, Pat Parker (1944-1989) wrote five collections of poetry during her lifetime and is widely recognised as one of the leading African-American, lesbian-feminist voices of the 20th Century.

Viktor


Básnická kniha Viktor je v jistém slova smyslu sebevražedná – Kamil Bouška v ní plnou vahou svého autorského já masakruje obraz básníka jako empatické niterné bytosti a ušlechtilého komentátora světa. Potvrzuje tím příslušnost k cechu básníků prokletých. Viktor jako by se zrodil mezi stránkami Bouškovy všeobjímající trilogie Dokumenty a představoval jediný myslitelný způsob, jak na ni navázat. Je, a zároveň není jejím protipólem. Bouškova vášnivá, a přitom promyšlená básnická polemika se světem i se sebou samým pokračuje, riskantně, jakýmikoliv prostředky, do krajnosti.

Flichter


Written in a rich but accessible Borders Scots, the poems in Flichter contemplate nature, family, language and history in relation to our contemporary crises. Bringing together award-winning poems and new work which explore the braes of the Borders and beyond, this is a powerful debut from a bold new voice in Scots language poetry. ‘Flichter’ contains many fine individual poems but as a whole it has an almost mesmeric quality, as if you were listening to a quiet but urgent discussion that touches on environment, memory, history and being. Crucially, Scots is the conduit for the flow of thought. Multiple internal rhymes, echoes and alliterations push the ideas on in a way that demands that the poems be read aloud. This is a brave, vulnerable, questioning and vibrant first collection. – James Robertson Craig writes poetry with an evocative power. He creates beauty in the everyday, carefully crafting the nuances of humanity, history and nature. ‘Flichter’ is a celebration of the Scots leid, and in particular, the Borders dialect. This is a beautiful collection that spans across various themes, each resonating deeply. – Taylor Dyson

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.

Over,


Over, tracks the aftermath of a breakup during the Covid19 pandemic. In sestudes (62-word blocks), the unnamed narrator jumps in and out of moments of an apparently loving relationship. Lacing together disparate chronologies, the book addresses the sexuality of older women and men, the nature of intimacy, empathy and humiliation, and the pleasures and dangers of attachment. Crucially, in its fragmentary form, it embodies the empowering feminist capabilities of narrative disruption. Through the thickening lens of the ageing eye/I, Over, explores how an experience of love might shift and steer us newly, while asking what-other than playlists, WhatsApps and Instagram-remains consistent.

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.

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.

This Elegance


This Elegance is a poetic meditation on beauty, pleasure, and transcendence in a time of collective uncertainty. These poems respond to solitude, grief, and fear with a radical inward turn—seeking ecstasy, presence, and the reclamation of self.Interweaving the sacred and the erotic, This Elegance engages with visual arts through the concept of sacra conversazione (“sacred conversation”), a style of Renaissance painting that imagines divine communion across time and space. Here, artists, thinkers, and pop icons commune in a similar sacred dialogue—Kathleen Collins, André Leon Talley, Richmond Barthé, Lyle Ashton Harris, Juan de Pareja, Janelle Monáe, Symone, and others appear as guiding spirits and creative kin.For a Black, queer body so often dislocated from time and place, pleasure becomes an act of resistance—a grounding in the now. This Elegance is a love song—an offering to Black artistry, a tribute to visionary lives, and a testament to the power of beauty in even our most precarious moments.

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.“
