The encounter with Jasmin was to change Renatos life decisively. It marks the beginning of many small episodes in which the author describes events from different points of view. People from different cultures are confronted with sometimes unfamiliar conditions. Be it as lovers, as parents, as employers and employees or as friends. Language barriers must be overcome and different views must be tolerated. No culture is favored, no country is singled out. The author "anonymizes" the countries in his own way: warm country, wet country, mountain country, but also pass country, there is no more concretization. It is left to the readers imagination whether or which countries or characters he prefers.

And so they enter a completely new and strange world into which they are drawn as if by a maelstrom. Unstoppable and ever deeper ...

Adam, published posthumously in 2024, is his debut poetry collection.What a voice he has - fresh, worn, elegiac, present. If ever a volume offered a story about water, loss, migration and every last one of us, Adam does. Andrew OHagan, ObserverHere is a heavy, mystical, humorous and lyrical Black British voice that will live forever. Raymond AntrobusAdam is a watery chorus, spirited and kinetic. These poems crackle with love and risk . . . Odubanjo was a singular voice in British poetry, one which will endure.

Oluwaseun Olayiwola, GuardianOdubanjos art was - and is, in the never-ending presentness of his book - an art of the impossibly perfected everyday . . . Adam grants its readers extraordinary perceptions throughout - its a light, keeping visible a story too likely to fade from view, and making more visible a poet who must be read.

A couple of years ago Stanley Moss renewed his drivers license. Now in his late nineties, his license runs to his 104th year. He has produced such an immense volume of work in his long life that it seemed necessary for his readers, old and new, to essentialise this mass of work into a portable, liftable single collection of highlights, which these 200 pages represent. It has been hard to confine him to this limiting measure because he still, every week and sometimes every day, produces a wholly new poem, surprising his editor and also, always, himself. As he says in The Ocean Slaps my Face:Yes, Poseidon, you may call me the F-word, Im a fluke and flounder. I am a rogue wave, I am a rogue wave!Undaunted, outrageously alive, Rosanna Warren said, Moss flaunts more colours than the Grim Reaper ever dreamed of, laughs in his face, rhymes with abandon, makes a joyful noise unto the Lord, and struts with Baudelaire. He asks what John Ashbery called unthinkable questions, but when he formulates them, they take on the quiet urgency of common daylight.

"Cold-case investigation": What generates ratings on television almost appears in this case to be an attempt to use force to assess facts and witness statements exclusively to the disadvantage of the accused instead of weighing them up objectively.Although there is still no body and the circumstances of the disappearance in the Elisabeth missing persons case are completely unexplained, suspicions by the family of the missing person and in some cases dubious witness statements were enough to have the accused remanded in custody again 15 years after the alleged crime. Only a courageous judge and jury put an end to the nightmare.

A Poetry Book Society Spring Special Commendation 2024In the archives of the Houghton Library at Harvard blazes the incandescent work of V.R. Bunny Lang (192456), the American poet and playwright whose name has been all but erased from literary history. The fiery nerve centre of the literary scene around mid-century Harvard, and best friend of the iconic New York School poet Frank OHara who referred to her as one of our finest poets Lang herself has languished in the shadows of American poetry for too long.This book brings into print some of Langs most startling, strange, and beautiful poetry, much of which has never been published before, drawing her into the spotlight at last. It includes an editors introduction by scholar and writer Rosa Campbell, on Langs fascinating and often hilariously eccentric life, devastatingly early death, and her rightful place in the canon of twentieth-century American poetry. The Miraculous Season, published in Langs centenary year, is a revelation of the true breadth and brilliance of her poetry, rediscovered and made available in print for the first time since 1975.
