Lily was here


LILY WAS HERE je známa jazzová skladba, ktorá obletela celý svet. Na motívy melódie saxofónového sóla hudobníčky Candy Dalfer autorka vytvorila originálnu básnickú kompozíciu o jazere, o tom, kam odchádza hudba a čo nakoniec zostáva z objatia. O tom, či tu Lily skutočne bola. Príbehy rozličných tajuplných postáv, odohrávajúce sa za podivuhodných okolností na brehu jazera, sprevádzajú ilustrácie Daniela Brunovského.

Sonnets


A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Shakespeare's immortal poems with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon. Love sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love. Some appear to be written to a young man, some to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.

plastic


Set during a single twelve-hour night shift in a factory, plastic is a book-length poem exploring the life of the industrial worker turned poet. Bringing together memoir, ekphrasis and satire, Bplastic is based on Matthew Rice’s experience working in a plastic moulding factory for ten years. Illustrating alienated twenty-first-century Irish labour in poetic form, plastic engages with the inflictions and implications of a ‘post-industrial’, ‘post-Troubles’ society, all while weaving in depictions of factory work from literature, film and the visual arts. Time-stamped to highlight the claustrophobia of the worker’s experience, this is a poem about feeling a calling while being submerged in the world of menial labour – making plastic airplane parts by night, making poetry by day, uniting what Jacques Ranciere calls the ‘labourers in love with the intellectual nights’ and those ‘intellectuals in love with the toilsome and glorious days of the labouring people.’ plastic’s evocation and lucidity moves with grace through working class realities and hopeful imaginings.

Only Sing


The never-before-published poems of one of the great American poets, edited and introduced by Shane McCrae. Only Sing is a continuation of John Berryman's vast project The Dream Songs. These 152 never-before-published poems are an expansion of this epic of the American twentieth-century psyche. In the voice and figure of Henry - riddled with desire, self-loathing and a permanent sense of being odds with the world - Berryman created, in the words of McCrae, 'a hero for a disenchanted nation'. Berryman never saw these dream songs in print but he was content that if they ever appeared, it would 'be up to the reader to fit those poems in among the published ones'.

Later Life Letter


'A really remarkable, deeply moving book' RICHARD CURTIS'Utterly direct . . . The poems are passionate yet controlled, simple in form and sparing of imagery' FINANCIAL TIMES'Luke wright and this time it's personal. But seriously, a highly original idea, expertly carried out' JOHN COOPER CLARKE'I was bawling from the first page and gulped it down in one swift swallow' HOLLIE MCNISHWhat is a later life letter? Written by a child's social worker to be opened at an appropriate age, it details their journey from birth to adoption. When Luke Wright received his as a teenager, he didn't think much of it. But now, married to a social worker and seeing the care she takes with these letters, he re-examines his own past - and the life he might have had. Should he feel close to the biological brothers he knows only through social media? Do his beginnings in a notorious tower-block estate counteract the privilege of a sheltered suburban upbringing? How grateful should he be to adopted parents who are - in the end - simply parent? n this memoir in poetry, no emotion is simple or expected. Wright writes with pinpoint honesty, teasing out the nuances of family, memory and belonging, and illuminating the gaps in the familiar beats of an adoption story. 'When it comes to poetry, performing and family Luke Wright is a lifer. Read this book' LEMN SISSAY'Made me laugh, cry, think and shudder' PETE DOHERTY'Intimate and universal, epic and singular. Beautifully written' JOELLE TAYLOR'A genius poet - funny, profound, life-changing' JOHANN HARI

Čítam, čím som bol


Už od svojho debutu bol Łukasz Jarosz, ktorý nemal ašpirácie stať sa literátom, so svojím jednoduchým a pritom mytologickým jazykom vnímaný ako solitér v kontexte mladej poľskej poézie so svojim autobiografickým príbehom, ktorý je rozpovedaný skutočne a pravdivo, cez prizmu iniciačných skúseností – zamilovanie, sex, narodenie dcéry, rozvod, smrť blízkych. Prvý slovenský výber jeho poézie predstavuje básnika súčasného života v malopoľskej dedine, v tradičnej katolíckej rodine, básnika, ktorý na rozdiel od svojich rovesníkov neopúšťa tento svet, aj keď ho prežíva s plným vedomím smrteľnosti, pozorujúc otca, ktorého život mal žiť. Tento život, ktorý číta, môže byť pre nás aj vzhľadom na kultúrnu aj teritoriálnu blízkosť nielen príťažlivý, ale aj rozpoznateľný a veľmi skutočný.

Night breaks apart, like pomegranate seeds in my palm


Aakriti Kuntal wields language like a blade and a balm, carving out poetry that is urgent and unafraid to ask what it means to exist. What does it mean to exist within language—to shape it, and in turn, to be shaped by it? In Night breaks apart, like pomegranate seeds in my palm, Aakriti Kuntal crafts poems that unravel at the edges of self and myth, where language is neither home nor escape, but a threshold to something more elemental. Her verses move like water rolling and sifting through sediment, shifting between dream and flesh. Through intimate confessions and stark observations, she confronts the absurdity of suffering, the weight of the body, and the vast, unknowable machinery of the universe. Each poem resists easy meaning, instead offering raw honesty: language as both wound and salve. For readers drawn to the introspective and the experimental, Kuntal’s poetry echoes the emotional depth of Ocean Vuong and the intellectual play of Anne Carson. This collection is for those who seek poetry not as answers, but as an experience—visceral, and unafraid to press against the limits of being.

44 Dotykov


Kniha 44 Dotykov je napísaná o skutočných ľudských nehmatateľných hodnotách, o Láske, nehe, úcte človeka k človeku, samozrejmostiach, na ktoré každodenne zabúdame, ktoré sú najhlbšou podstatou Života, ako i samotného bytia, jak jedinca, tak i spoločenského celku, o MIERI v nás i svete ,o každodenných maličkostiach, ktoré len tak prechádzame, akoby nikdy neexistovali, by naše srdia napĺňala dobrota, nie dnešnej doby temnota, aby národy bez vojen národmi zostali, aby v úcte sme Život čo nám Boh dal sme mali. Nezaplavovali si mysle bludami, mali silu, tú pravú ľudskú, čo v našich srdciach je, nájsť Života svojho koľaje a nebáli sa i iným pomáhať, rozsvietiť tú temnotu a kým ešte máme ten ČAS nezaháľať, ctiť TÚ MILUJÚCU MATKU ZEM, kým nezhorí života jej pochodeň. A ÚPRIMNE JU MILOVAŤ, nielen všetko mamonom DRANCOVAŤ. Tak naučíme otvoriť srdcia i schovať pretvárky masky, jak deti čisté, v náruči domova, čo hladí nám s oporou vlásky...

Donbaszi sárgabarackok


Meddőhányók, tárnák, gyárkémények. És BTR harckocsik. Ljuba Jakimcsuk szemével a Donbasz keserédes, tágassággal teli modern mese, a helyszín, ahol az ukrán avantgárd elejtett fonalát úira fel lehet venni - és immár egy évtizede elvesztett, megszállt otthon. A Donbaszi sárgabarackok pimasz, játékos és bátor szembenézés az addig ismert világ összeomlásával, egy költő számvetése azzal, hogy eszköze, lételeme, a nyelv kifordul magából, széthullik, elnyűvi a valóság. Ahelyett hogy újra egésszé erőltetné, Jakimcsuk a dadogásokból, nyelvbotlásokból, szójátékokból gyúr új nyelvet, és ezen az új hangon követi, naplózza végig az évet, amikor minden megváltozott. Kevés ilyen erős és eltéveszthetetlen hangot találni a kortárs európai költészetben.
