La poesía también se expande. Como el amor. Como tú. La trayectoria del Big Bang no es cósmica: es emocional. Un libro para quienes buscan calidez entre el frío de las galaxias.La trayectoria del Big Bang es un viaje intimo a traves del universo emocional de Redry. En esta obra, su poesia se propaga en todas direcciones como un eco muy personal de lo que supone para cada uno el gran estallido del amor, sus decepciones, el luminoso reencuentro y la revelacion de quienes somos nosotros mismos.Desde la soledad inicial hasta alcanzar el abrazo con otra persona, desde el amor propio hasta el recuerdo de lo perdido, Redry construye una constelacion de textos que dialogan con sus obras anteriores pero alcanzan aqui una nueva madurez lirica. Con voz directa y vulnerable, nos recuerda que crecer aunque duela siempre es sinonimo de expansion y reconocimiento.

Un insectario que funciona como un espejo del alma humana.En Vida insecta, los poemas indagan en una relación que mantenemos con lo diminuto, con aquello que bate y horada el silencio de lo doméstico. Aunque todos parecemos estar a la altura de algo extraordinario que transforme nuestra existencia, lo cierto es que nuestra vida no es tan distinta de la de los insectos. Esta hecha de repeticiones, rutinas y aburridas tareas. Tambien de gestos en apariencia insignificantes que, sin embargo, nos sostienen y nos ofrecen una precaria sensacion de seguridad. Para explorar esa condicion, la autora se vale de un lenguaje capaz de protegernos frente a lo incontrolable y de ayudarnos a habitarlo sin quedarnos sin palabras.El libro se levanta sobre un dialogo de umbrales: por un lado, la invocacion de William Blake, que cuestiona la hegemonia de lo humano ¿No soy yo / una mosca como tu? ; por otro, la advertencia de Alejandra Pizarnik sobre la espera, que siempre lleva implicita una silenciosa transformacion interior. A partir de ahi, la poeta despliega una entomologia de los afectos en la que el miedo incuba huevos en el cerebro y el dolor se posa como polvo fino de mariposa.Desde la mujer polilla que emerge en busca de sus partes desmembradas hasta la tirania de la republica de las obreras, se revela una naturaleza que nos recuerda que tocar es siempre ser tocado. Al final, queda el largo proceso de descomposicion larvada en la raiz, un territorio donde la palabra la muerte de la mosca intenta suspender el tiempo antes de que irrumpan las bestias carniceras de la noche.En este ecosistema que zumba, repta y aletea, Cristina Sanchez-Andrade difumina los limites entre refugio estetico e intemperie. Vida insecta no es solo un libro de poemas, es en si mismo, una metamorfosis.

Alejandra G. Remón vuelve a las reflexiones íntimas en un libro inspirador para afrontar nuevos desafíos.Este es un cuaderno íntimo sobre lo pequeño, lo cotidiano y todo aquello que permanece. La autora escribe desde los margenes del ruido, donde aun caben la pausa, la ternura y la observacion.Este libro no enseña, sino que acompaña; no ofrece respuestas, sino silencios habitables. En estas paginas Alejandra G. Remon recoge sus pensamientos sin pretension de consejo, como fragmentos de una conversacion con una misma.Cada texto es una respiracion: breve, esencial, a veces apenas una linea que deja espacio al lector para completarla. Como en sus cuadernos o anotaciones manuscritas, las palabras se intercalan con imagenes, collages y papeles encontrados: etiquetas, recortes, hojas de cuadernos, polaroids. flores, fotografias veladas o frases para recordar. Lo visual y lo escrito se confunden, construyendo un lenguaje propio que es mitad diario, mitad propuesta visual.Una invitacion a la calma y a la honestidad, para mirar la vida desde sus angulos mas reconditos, habitar los dias sin urgencia, elegir con cuidado las palabras y aceptar la belleza de no tenerlo todo claro.

Versos que brillan como alhajas bajo los escombros de una ciudad.Este libro se declara en rebeldía desde el principio, se revuelve contra el vivir inconsciente, adocenado, contra las reglas y convenciones sociales y tambien contra la tristeza. Con demasiada frecuencia la literatura se entrega al amargor, a las oscuridades interiores de quienes la hacen. Este libro huye hacia el vitalismo, hacia la sed de vida (Llenarme la vida de ti/ vida inconmensurable/ eso quisiera), precisamente en un tiempo historico que aparenta querer negarnosla. El buscador de metales es un llamado critico a reinventarse, una invitacion a reconquistar la vida que nos quieren usurpar.El buscador de metales es un poemario visceral, energetico y directo, en el que el deseo se cruza con la critica social, la angustia generacional, los afectos quebrados y la pulsion vital. La voz poetica es multiple: nostalgica, fogosa, autoficcional, urbana y sentida. El ritmo narrativo, los guiños a la novela grafica y la hibridacion formal lo convierten en una propuesta ineludible para lectores de hoy.

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

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

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 on the art of poetry and 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 to share this series of piquant and unforgettable discoveries.

"Não tenho mais nada além da poesia. Neste sentido, eu sou o próprio coração selvagem." (Orides Fontela)Orides Fontela (1940-1998) foi uma das mais importantes poetas brasileiras da segunda metade do

In 2021, Magorzata Lebda ran the entire length of the longest river in Poland, the Vistula, from its source in the Beskid Mountains to its mouth at the Baltic Sea. She set out to run as a poet, not as an athlete, to use the rhythms of her own body as a means of understanding and connecting to the rhythms of the rivers body of water, under threat of environmental ruin. Her collection Mer de Glace, which won the Szymborska Prize, is the culmination of her remarkable journey, and a profound meditation on the porosity, reactivity and receptivity of both the body and the natural world, and of their influences on one another.

Novo livro de um dos poetas brasileiros mais consagrados da atualidade funde história pessoal e narrativas que remontam à origem do mundo."Não fui eu quem fez o mundo/ e sei que isso conta a meu favo

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 months entry weaves together mythic figures Tahlequah the mourning orca, Brigids mountain dance, Sister Icaruss fragile flight and Beiras shore vigils with the unfolding chronicle of contemporary grief and protest. Readers move from Januarys frozen harbour and political flashpoints into springs ritual planting of lemon-drop seeds, summers drum-driven rallies and smoky vigils, and autumns oil-slick swans and ash-borne snowdrops. The collections 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. Laverys work becomes both witness and archivewhere 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 livingand lovingin a world that is as beautiful as it is unpredictable.

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 poets work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plaths 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 Plaths 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.

A love letter to the lives, loves, losses, and other mysteries that lay at the heart of our history.Angela Alaimo ODonnell, grandchild of Italian immigrants, granddaughter of coal miners, and author of twelve published poetry collections and thousands of poems, offers her most personal collection to date. These are poems that speak to people, for all of us come from somewheresome world we have necessarily left behind but that still lives within us and makes us who we are.This book is for lovers of stories, told through artful poems and vivid prose, as it invites us all to reflect, laugh, smile, shed a tear, re-live, and perhaps even make sense of our own childhood experiences. Dip into it while sitting by the fire or gathered with friends and family in a shared celebration of our personal histories and the bonds that connect us to one another."The childhood belonging to each of us is unique, as is each human beingyet there are some things that remain constant. We all have a mother and father, and, if we are lucky, sisters and brothers. We all have a place that we come from that has helped shape us into who we are. We all have memories that stay with us, bring us joy, and haunt us, and we all face the daily decision of what to do with those memoriesto preserve them or to let them fade. My vocation, as a poet, compels me to turn them into story and song. These poems tell my stories, and I also hope they, in some way, tell yours." -Angela Alaimo ODonnell
