V poradí druhá básnická kniha slovensko-americkej poetky Oľgy Urminskej, ktorá po emigrácii žila v amerických alternatívnych, hippie komunitách je výberom jej básní z archívu zo 70. a 80. rokov v preklade Samuela Vahovského. Poézia z tohto obdobia, časť ktorej bola publikovaná v amerických časopisoch a zborníkoch, reflektuje jej rebelský, nonkonformný a nezávislý život v týchto komunitách. Ale predovšetkým skúsenosť materstva, afirmáciu ženského tela, akými to aktuálne robila americká druhá vlna feminizmu či beat poézia – návratom k vytesneným formám rytmu, zariekavania či opakovania. Druhá časť knihy pod názvom „Jeden deň v živote umelkyne“ predstavuje civilnejšie ladené básne, ktoré ukazujú na jej neskoršie snahy popísať jedinečnosť umeleckého procesu, zachytávajú ju ako poetku aj maliarku.

Dispatch From Every Second Guess


A verse-memoir spanning the breakdown of a marriage and the resulting wide-open horizon of single motherhood,Dispatch From Every Second Guess explores how we negotiate the present in the light of the past, how our lingering resentments limit our attentions, and how old wounds reopen in new ways. Gannon’s life is layered with tensions. The tension of being a white adoptive mother to a Black son. The tension of healing from a failed marriage. The tension of supporting a partner through mental health crises. The tension of mothering the partner’s child in the shadow of a fraught relationship with one’s own mother. And the tension of admitting ugly truths in a genre that often demands beauty, especially from women poets. Perfect for fans of Sharon Olds and Maggie Smith, Gannon’s second full-length collection of poetry is rife with poignant self-reflection and lyrical storytelling as she writes her way toward understanding, and maybe even forgiveness.

Stone


“Invaluable. . . . [What] comes across in these translations is the verve and immediacy of the poems’ occasions.”—Seamus HeaneyA groundbreaking translation of the brilliant first book by one of the twentieth century’s most important poetsStone—Osip Mandelstam’s 1913 debut—marked the arrival of perhaps the greatest Russian poet of the twentieth century, one whose refusal to bow to Soviet political and artistic dictates led to his persecution and eventual death in one of Stalin’s prison camps. Mandelstam spent his early years in St. Petersburg, and many of the poems in Stone depict the city’s vast squares, classical buildings, and Dutch canals. Other poems reflect his hunger for Western European culture, his commitment to humanistic values, and his ambition to become a master of the Russian language. This bilingual edition is based on the final version of Stone, published in 1928, and features a biographical and critical introduction and detailed annotations.

Unrest in the Nebulae


In unrest in the nebulae, Gitan Djeli wields prose poetry to archive five hundred years of exploitative colonization, ecocide, extinction, militarization and deportation, slavery, indenture, negotiated nationhood, postcolonial plantation structures, and apologist histories. Writing in a queer anticolonial poetics, and using lines of Kreol, Gitan Djeli mines the tension that emerges between colonialism and language, disarticulating the myth-making aesthetics of the colonial world. She tells the story of the ‘other slavery’ in the Indian Ocean and its histories of enslavement and indenture through a subversive, fragmented poetics, and often from the perspective its geologic witnesses – a misnamed ocean or the range of mountains within it or the volcanic idea of islands. In a charge of resistance to the catastrophe of modernity, unrest in the nebulae takes seriously Sylvia Wynter’s invitation to engage “a new science of the word.”

D S M M N R: V ľahších situačných súhvezdiach


Autorstvo D S M M N R sa nebojí gramatiky, pravopisu ani angažovanosti. Napína kazajku jazyka na prasknutie, prihovára sa zvieratám, súcití s trpiacimi. Zachytáva hmýrenie sveta a necháva sa ním unášať. Zároveň mu však aj vzdoruje. Prieči sa mechanicky a väčšinovo prijímaným pravidlám a názorom, prestupuje mocensky nastolené hranice a limity. Básnický cyklus V ľahších situačných súhvezdiach vznikol v spoluautorstve, na jeho tvorbe sa podieľali Marianna Mlynárčiková, Nóra Ružičková a Dana Snopková. Nejde o prvé tvorivé stretnutie týchto autoriek, v minulosti spolupracovali (aj s prispením Miriam Kujanovej) na intermediálnych projektoch Rozhovory, ktoré vedú inam (2013), Bouvard a Pécuchet bádajú na poli slovenského umenia (2014) a Cvičenie s monografiami/Exercise with Monographs (2016).

Klíče od ráje


Básnická sbírka Klíče od ráje je v pravém slova smyslu rukodělným dílem. Autor, který si říká Fousáč a českým čtenářům je již znám ze sbírky Sedmikráska, tentokrát předkládá knihu zcela výjimečné podoby – každá báseň i ilustrace jsou psány a kresleny vlastní rukou. Do knihy se dostaly jako skeny originálních rukopisů, takže čtenář drží v ruce něco, co stojí na pomezí literatury a výtvarného umění. Básně samotné jsou poetické, lehce mystické a dotýkají se nejhlubšího nitra podvědomí. Zachycují nejčistší okamžiky přítomnosti a nacházejí krásu v každodenních činnostech a samotném plynutí života. Fousáč, hudebník hrající na harmoniku a ukulele, přenáší do svých textů stejnou citlivost a bezprostřednost, jakou zná z živé hudby. Klíče od ráje nejsou jen básnická sbírka – jsou to originální artefakty zachycené na papíře.

Homoerotic Poets of the Italian Trecento


Homoerotic Poets of the Italian Trecento explores same-sex desire in the work of three skilled medieval Italian poets, bringing their verse and expression to English readers. Thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy produced a wide range of literature, from the courtly love of the Sicilian School, to the spiritualized love of the dolce stil nuovo and Dante, to the comic poetry that flourished with authors such as Cecco Angiolieri and Folgore da San Gimignano. Author Fabian Alfie, through his translations of these poets, shows how this cultural context allowed three medieval Italian poets—Meo dei Tolomei, Cecco Nuccoli, and Marino Ceccoli—to openly discuss their sexual relationships with other men in their own poetic verse. These three poets adapted the languages of comic literature and courtly love to the new topic of homoeroticism. The result is a unique form of poetics that blended traditional expressions with innovative material. While homoerotic subtexts in the canonical works are often highlighted in the scholarship, the expression of same-sex desire ran deeper and was more prominent than in those works alone. For these poets, same-sex desire is not the subtext to their verse—it is the text itself. Through their poems, presented in facing Italian/English format, we are given a glimpse into the range of sexual attraction available to men in medieval Italy.

The Museum of Unnatural Histories


Whiting Award 2025 Winner in PoetryThis extraordinary debut poetry collection by Dena'ina poet Annie Wenstrup delicately parses personal history in the space of an imagined museum. Outside the museum, Ggugguyni (the Dena'ina Raven) and The Museum Curator collect discarded French fries, earrings, and secrets—or as the curator explains, together they curate moments of cataclysm. Inside the museum, their collection is displayed in installations that depict the imagined Indigenous body. Into this "distance between the learning and the telling," Wenstrup inserts The Curator and her sukdu'a, her own interpretive text. At the heart of the sukdu'a is the desire to find a form that allows the speaker's story to be heard. Through love letters, received forms, and found text, the poems reclaim their right to interpret, reinvent, and even disregard artifacts of their own mythos. Meticulously refined and delicately crafted, they encourage the reader to "decide/who you must become."
