La palabra “modernismo” tiene resonancias casi mágicas para el lector de poesía. Nos remite al mundo exótico, suntuoso, carnal y exótico de Rubén Darío, cuya influencia se extendió, como un puente e

The first English-language collection from one of Indias most hard-hitting writers, these poems brilliantly exemplify writing as an act of resistance. Militant, satirical, and biting, Kalyani Charal pulls no punches in eviscerating paternalistic - and patriarchal - bourgeois socialists who speak on behalf of others.Writing from lived experience, Charal delineates the bourgeois values that fuel the social machinery of caste oppression, while drawing parallels with social and racial marginalisation around the world. Thus, in her poetry, the specificity of Dalit lives in Bengal, a region which prides itself on its Leftist history and enlightened culture, and whose partition into India and Bangladesh has left a legacy of communal tension, refugees, and statelessness, is at the same time the universality of precarity, marginality and dispossession. Finally, there is space for love - wistful and full-throated, with an attentiveness to the natural world that speaks to her claim that "all Dalit woman writers are eco feminists".

T. S. Eliot took George Barker onto the Faber poetry list in 1935 with Poems, when Barker was only twenty-two. This was the beginning of a publishing association which would endure through nineteen further volumes. There was an earlier Collected Poems published in 1957, but this edition, published in 1987 towards the end of the writers life, is the definitive edition. Here, readers have access to the contents of all of those volumes together with lesser-known work published by smaller presses and journals both in the UK and abroad. The book allows us to follow the evolution of a major talent who subscribed to no school and scorned all affiliation, but whose work is uncompromisingly true in both its stylistic integrity and its unswerving conception of poetic responsibility.His work was passionate, intellectually challenging and highly original, his language incantatory and often hypnotic. Peter Wilby, Guardian

Welcome to Kathryn Grays Hollywood or Home, a poetry collection with as much ruthless glamour as any Old Hollywood movie. These worldly-wise poems explore celebrity culture in a mode that is both seriously playful and playfully serious. Here, melancholy and humour, irony and sincerity can be often found in the same poem, creating a rich experience for the film buff or fan of celebrity culture, as the book is full of easter eggs and movie references.Spectres of Hollywood haunt the collection: moguls, politicians, starlets, and monsters. They leap from screen and stage to page, as in Portrait of my Superego as Mommie Dearest: youre / the one swinging the axe, Mommie.Famous actors drop in to entertain, for example in Meryl Streep is my Therapist or Six Ways of Looking at John Cazale, while writers do their best to pitch their best ideas, working hard to convince: Its "relatable". / Its really "relatable" stuff (High-concept).Film memorabilia is explored, likeThe Deer Hunter s bandana, as well as movie-business secrets: the title of As told by Alan Smithee refers to the alter ego that directors use in movie credits when they want to disown their films.Stock characters and plots show up, like the Handome Weeping Boy, and The Meet-Cute, that scene in a romantic comedy where a couple have a first hilarious or cute meeting. Classic 1980s movies like Pretty in Pink andTop Gun make their cameos. Power couples take their place, like Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner in Night and Day, 1957, and melodrama heightens to Douglas Sirks grand levels in Love. All the stories and characters loom larger than life, and asthe narrator asks, contemplating celebrity Tweets in Fresh Hell,Why cant life be EVERYTHING IN CAPS LIKE CHER?.In decadent celebrity culture, where a star is born every minute and becomes a flop even more quickly, these fierce and funny poems open space for the writer to reassess failures and successes, to overcome writers block, and to remember that we never stop longing for our old dreams to come true. Gray is writing at the top of her game with her much-anticipated second collection. Out of Hollywoods brutal disdain for failure, Gray manages to find spectacle and survival.Grays long-awaited second collection both celebrates and accuses the glamour and imagination of the movies in particular, and of art in general. Whether its Meryl Streep or Ferris Bueller or John Cazale shes writing of, Gray is illuminating, funny, and frequently moving. Underpinning the comedy and satire, though, is a real pain at lifes jolts and times relentlessness: "What happened to the script?", Nick Laird, author of Feel FreeHollywood or Home shines a light on the filmic quality of daily life, reminding us just how thin the membrane between fiction and reality can be. Within its pages we encounter the Mind in various guises: as an invalid from the nineteenth century, a rain-streaked window-pane and (my favourite) a cabinet populated by indescribable figurines. Bristling with energy, humour and kick-ass bravura, at the same time these poems tremble with deeply felt emotion. - Julia Copus, author of Girlhood

Moving through somnambulant states, Sleep Gate evokes Inger Christensens description of the necessity for us to dream our way inward. The poems in Sleep Gate push Christensens dream inward further, into biological dreaming itself. Fully absorbed in the fabric of sleep, enfolded into the inventory of dreams, these poems become part of the process of sleep respiration, so that we might consider the world around us from another perspective. Moving through the changing states of peoplesdreamscapes and what might affect them, like nightmares, insomnia and other sleep disorders, Sleep Gate captures the disjunctive, jump-cutting quality of dreams: within the unspoken context of deep-sleep tectonic logic, these poems jump from a time before the clouds are inventoried to the present, from Winters gnashing bruxism to a garden anointed with gluey residue. A collection that, as on waking, assembles the world through distortion and towards clarity.

In Girling, her open-hearted debut collection, Eve Esfandiary-Denney wrestles with the boundaries between living and death, history and the present, and how these are preordained for us in the fabric of our DNA and in our geographical or cultural environments. Through a personal relationship with illness and a closeness to death, the author asks the reader, I hope its ok to die. I can / be something / like actualized metaphor. She recounts the story of a father left abandoned in a church, and remembers a grandmothers home in a travellers caravan. Grief is portrayed with a tongue in cheek, cosmic register, as the speaker invests in lions mane, attempts to feel super-radiant, and moves into moon pose, while we watch electronic deep-sea claws on YouTube, and google what to do if your mum died last night. Philosophical, funny, pertinent, ecological, global and intimate, this is a collection of poems for the contemporary moment, a book deeply personal yet communal in its intention, beginning from a personal history then resonating outwards, ending on a note so gorgeously hopeful, as life moves towards the speaker, gloriously close.

[ . . .] amazing how stubbornly we worried wrong, the fates will see you now like rushes wetly cut from streams and tipped in flame, or when that girl became a reed is there a song that wont make use of herJana Prikryls poems contend with displacement and domestic upheaval in a style both fluid and inexorable. The Channel, the poets fourth collection and her UK debut, is in deep conversation with King Lear, listening for Cordelia as a person banished from home, whose nearest relations know love only as a form of control. The play depends on her silence, but outside of the play her voice may make us audible to ourselves. The book thinks, brilliantly and dynamically, about authority familial and cultural, about illnesses of mind and of body, about violent storms, and flights across borders and languages.

Language is the labyrinth were enmeshed in, and any line of exploration we think is leading us out only adds a further strand to the entanglement.Rope presents an alluring and provocative array of insights as it follows a mind on the move, ever curious and restlessly making connections.Nuggets of wisdom, snippets of anecdote and choice quotations are collected here, signposted by suggestive shoulder notes. Together they form a kind of contemporary commonplace book, accumulating with associative loops and echoes.Across three prose sections, Maurice Riordan knots together strands including scientific inquiry, colour theory and AI, philosophy, ethics and psychoanalysis. There are instructive revelations about the art of poetry, about all literature - whether the folly of literary ambition or the sinuous garland of plagiarism - gleaned from a lifetime of reading and writing. The middle section delves into the authors personal history, evoking a childhood in rural Cork - I was born into a horse-drawn candlelit world - and a new self forged in fatherhood.Riordan is an intimate and jocular narrator throughout, calling upon everyone from Shakespeare to Schrodinger, Sappho to Siri in the shaping of these piquant and unforgettable discoveries.

"Em Poemas para quem está atravessando marés, a poeta mergulha em águas profundas e cristalinas de um mar só seu, e nos intervalos das ondas se veste de inspiração e entre os vãos do silêncio borda p

Matemática pura, matemática dura pretende-se um espelho da palavra, do homem e da cidade; do sonho e do pesadelo também (de tudo que acende e apaga o mundo); da história suspensa, entre o medo e a coragem (de tudo que parece mentira, mas e verdade); daquilo que se pode ver a olho nu, tanto no claro quanto no escuro (a exemplo do lugar aberto ou fechado onde a humanidade se acha ou se perde agora).Matematica pura, matematica dura pretende-se um espelho das horas. Por isso, os poemas aqui reunidos se somam aos corpos empilhados na pandemia de covid-19 e as almas, desde ento, assustadas, porque precisam flanar pelo centro da vida, margeando a morte. So poemas de azar e sorte.

This book has been inspired by the divinity within me to spark the consciousness of mankind with the light of sanity. This light will reawaken humanitys eternal souls from the slumbering of vanity into the light of wisdom. This wisdom leads the mind to eternal, higher-dimension reasoning and to perceiving the glory of the souls eternal, heavenly, universal perceptions of the bliss that divine love advocates through the winds of change.Through these winds, our minds can be set free from the iniquity of mental slavery that prevents the soul from embracing the eternal opulence of bliss which the universe has conceived in our spirits with joy, eternally.

Para Byron, só se vive uma vez. Por isso, cultivou a liberdade acima de tudo. Quando se tornou o poeta mais famoso da época, celebridade e estilo de vida, alguns anos antes de sua morte como herói na Grecia, decidiu criar uma obra alem do bem e do mal. Assim, adotando um dos personagens mais iconicos da modernidade, o mito de Don Juan, elaborou um poema unico, um epico que aborda os mais diversos temas, ora de forma satirica, ora filosofica, e sempre ironica. Na verdade, a narrativa, o enredo e o personagem so pano de fundo para a voz byroniana que narra a historia, a qual se aproveita do conto para tecer uma camuflada autobiografia do poeta e para brindar seus amigos, criticar seus desafetos, satirizar versos alheios, ironizar os costumes das naçes pelas quais o ingenuo Juan passa impelido pelas vicissitudes do destino como marionete do narrador, com seu genio sapiencial e comico.Byron via esta sua obra-prima como uma aurora boreal versificada, por conter todas as cores e ser infinita em sua intensidade e em sua incompletude. Aqui, na primeira traduço integral para a lingua portuguesa, celebra-se o bicentenario do poeta.
