The glorious gathering-in of his achievement that is The Poems of Seamus Heaney, edited with meticulous care and luminous clarity. . . allows us for the first time to see his dozen formal collections as only the most visible peaks in a constantly rolling range of creativity. Fintan OToole, ObserverThis book is a landmark. [and] lets us see Heaneys work, whose ripples we are still learning to navigate, for the colossal achievement it is, and it reminds us that Heaney is not only a keeper but an enricher of the word-hoard. Philip Terry, GuardianThis is the long-awaited, definitive edition of Seamus Heaneys poetry. It encompasses all the poems Heaney published in his lifetime as well as the small number that appeared after his death: twelve single volumes, from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Human Chain (2010), and those poems published in pamphlets, journals and magazines or with limited circulation. In addition, the book includes a selection of unpublished material chosen by the poets family.It is a body of work that, in its entirety, resounds with the lyrical beauty and ethical depth cited by the Nobel committee: poems which exalt everyday miracles and the living past.Critical introductions to each collection and notes that illuminate the history and development of the poems make this the essential volume for admirers of Heaneys work.Heaneys voice, by turns mythological and journalistic, rural and sophisticated, reminiscent and impatient, stern and yielding, curt and expansive, is one of a suppleness almost equal to consciousness itself. Helen VendlerMore than any other poet since Wordsworth he can make us understand that the outside world is not outside, but what we are made of. John CareyHis is "closeup" poetry - close up to thought, to the world, to the emotions. Few writers at work today, in verse or fiction, can give the sense of rich, fecund, lived life that Heaney does. John BanvilleThese poems find - in the dowsers gift and the childs perception of the world - images of the marvellous that are also wonderfully grounded. . . Heaney is a poet who deserves to be read in entirety. Jamie McKendrickFor Heaney, there were marvels enough in this world, and never mind the next. Ordinary objects and places - a sofa, a wireless, a satchel, a gust of wind, the sound of rain - were sanctified. Blake Morrison

"El argentino-húngaro-brasileño Jorge Schwartz es uno de los máximos conocedores del modernismo de su país adoptivo y de la modernidad continental. Su suma Las vanguardias latinoamericanas, que el lector tiene en sus manos en version actualizada, es un utilisimo artefacto. Un mapa imprescindible para quien quiera orientarse por la fascinante selva de los ismos novomundicos" (Juan Manuel Bonet). En sus origenes, las vanguardias artisticas asumieron la responsabilidad de guiar la reivindicacion politica y cultural de la sociedad, tomando una actitud revolucionaria. Dentro de las letras latinoamericanas, no se apartaron de la idea de cambio radical como punto de partida. La voluntad de construir y moldear una realidad distinta se hizo con la exaltacion de lo transitorio y volatil por encima del culto a lo eterno e inmutable.En este libro Schwartz recopila ensayos, manifiestos, prologos, poemas, reflexiones y autoconfesiones en torno a las corrientes "vanguardistas" del siglo xx latinoamericano, desde el criollismo ultraista del joven Borges, pasando por el indigenismo de Mariategui, hasta la glorificacion del dinamismo de la ciudad y de la maquina en el manifiesto antropofago del brasileño Oswald de Andrade. Sin duda, la lectura de estos textos garantiza una osada exploracion del mapa literario que abarca de la urbe a la pampa, cruzando por la orografia del futurismo, el constructivismo, el estridentismo, el surrealismo, la negritud y la raza cosmica.

Cuando existir se ha vuelto un acto automático viene a nuestro auxilio la poesía con su grito y su pellizco neurálgico. Por eso es liberadora. El poeta dice en lugar de callar. Lo que sucede en el mundo atraviesa su cuerpo, entra por la mirada, los poros, el olfato y los oidos. Porque viene del cuerpo, el poema tiene tambien un cuerpo. Se estructura en la pagina como un objeto que ocupa un lugar en el espacio. Tiene brazos y piernas, antenas y dedos. Tiene movimiento como si fuera un insecto. Su estructura tiene una razon de ser. Palabra y silencio se intercalan formando una composicion visual y auditiva. El poema es mas un animal que un discurso y hay que aprender a respetarlo. Hay animales soneto y animales copla. Hay poemas araña y poemas huella de pajaro; hay poemas cansados y poemas fragiles; poemas tan ligeros que se dispersan en el aire como semillas de nomeolvides y poemas piedra que cimientan culturas. Son un reflejo del cuerpo que los escribe y tambien del que los lee. Porque la contraparte de la escritura de un poema es su lectura. Dejarse inundar por las palabras, por su tono, su timbre, su ritmo, no para entenderlo racionalmente, sino para comprenderlo a profundidad, y para disfrutarlo. La poesia expresa la subjetividad del ser, pero es precisamente ahi donde reconocemos la condicion humana. La poesia es lenguaje de trasformacion, materia viva, enzima del lenguaje que accede a nuevos significados, palabra restauradora de tejidos. Por eso es necesaria.

This is the first substantial selection of poems by SuAndi, whose work as performer, writer for stage and arts curator has recently been celebrated by the award of the Benson Medal by the Royal Society of Literature, of which she is an honorary fellow, for services to literature across her career, which recognised her poems fierce, vividly powerful and dramatic depictions of womens lives in Manchester, the city she grew up in and of Black communities and the lives of those whose voices are not often heard, even now, in contemporary British literature.In this selection, the rhythms of speech and performance echo off the page. Though she is as at home with the dramatic monologue as the lyric and the ballad, SuAndis poems defy easy categorisation and make visible on the page a remarkable trailblazing writing career.

El paraíso perdido es una epopeya monumental donde John Milton reinterpreta el Génesis como una tragedia cósmica, enfrentando al lector con los límites del libre albedrío, la obediencia y la ambición. A traves de un lenguaje solemne y visionario, Milton narra la rebelion de Lucifer, su caida desde los cielos y su venganza en forma de tentacion a Adan y Eva. No se trata solo de un relato biblico, sino de una profunda meditacion sobre el orgullo, la perdida y el precio de la conciencia.El poema muestra un universo donde los angeles debaten como estadistas, los demonios erigen imperios en las ruinas y la humanidad nace entre duda y deseo. Satanas, lejos de ser una figura plana, es retratado como el arquetipo del rebelde que prefiere reinar en el infierno antes que servir en el cielo. En ese conflicto nace una de las preguntas mas poderosas de la literatura:¿es la caida la verdadera forma de ascender?Milton convierte el mito en experiencia humana: el lector no solo asiste a la caida del hombre, sino al descubrimiento de la responsabilidad. Es una obra sobre la dignidad de elegir, incluso cuando elegir implica perder.

Homer is traditionally regarded as the ancient Greek poet who composed *The Iliad* and *The Odyssey*, two foundational works of Western literature. Although his exact identity remains shrouded in mystery, he is believed to have lived around the 8th century BCE, possibly in Ionia, a region on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Ancient tradition describes Homer as a blind bard who traveled, reciting epic poetry. However, no definitive historical records confirm his existence, and some scholars argue that "Homer" may represent a collective tradition of oral poets rather than a single individual. Despite this uncertainty, the brilliance and unity of style in the epic poems strongly suggest a master poet. *The Iliad* focuses on a brief episode of the Trojan War, highlighting themes of honor and wrath, while *The Odyssey* narrates the long, perilous journey of Odysseus returning home after the war. These poems were originally part of an oral tradition and were later written down, profoundly influencing Greek culture and education.

Magadh is widely regarded as one of the most important works of modern Indian poetry. A chorus of narrators commoners, statesmen, nameless wanderers pieces together the histories of ancient cities and kingdoms on the Indian subcontinent, their rise and fall. In spare, haunting, incantatory language appears timeless, Magadh tells of transience.

to be affected in many ways is the sole ambition of the daysthrums grows out of Clarks celebrated collection, that which appears, in an extension and affirmation of that books particular aesthetic. Including poems first published in London Review of Books and New York Review of Books, the poems closely observed landscapes tell of presence and loss, of change and precarious continuity.One of Scotlands most distinctive writers, a vivid minimalist, ruralist and experimentalist, his selected poems, The Threadbare Coat (2020), is also published by Carcanet.

Men of the Same Name is satirical, elegiac and memorable, bringing together lost books, burned libraries, Goethe, the lives and deaths of Presocratic philosophers, Paris, statues of Niobe, patterns in history, war, displacement, the evils of ambition, and Pachynian tuna.What if, Jones asks, instead of using the ancient world as a metaphor for modern life, the poet uses modern life as a metaphor for the ancient world? Working in this way between allegory and reality, the book rethinks poetrys changing relationships to politics and our historical moment.A celebrated translator of Cavafy, here Jones blends translation (Goethe, Lucian of Samosata, Diogenes Laertius) with original poetry so that the world of his writing is distant yet familiar, both unequivocally our own and boldly inventive.

Dafydd ap Gwilym, Waless greatest poet, explored love, desire and the natural world with startling frankness and virtuoso wit. In a sequence freely adapted from Dafydds work, Matthew Francis brings him to life for the modern English-speaking reader: as he waits in the woods for his lover, ogles the girls in church or causes chaos during a midnight assignation. Plants, birds and animals are fondly invoked while weather and the elements - wind, waves, fog and ice - play their part. Passionate in his treatment of sexual themes, Dafydd is equally ready to make fun of his own susceptibility. These delightful poems remain, across the centuries, intimate, urgent and timeless.One of our most skilled, intriguing and consistently ambitious poets. Sarah Crown, GuardianThe Mabinogi in Matthew Franciss poetic retelling . . . blazes with fresh and exciting strangeness. Marina Warner, Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year

Eduardo Mosches acaricia y ataca con palabras certeras todo tipo de recuerdos, afirma que "La memoria es a veces vengativa". Al ofrecer sus poemas, nos manda a recuperar fragmentos de la existencia. De vez en cuando da miedo entrar a un anochecer, pero si se alcanzan los amaneceres de la angustia se contagia el temor que implica redescubrir el tiempo en el que pasa todo, es decir, el tiempo de la vida ya vivida. El poeta toca puntos neuralgicos: va del cuerpo mutilado a la pandemia, de la migracion al pasado herido, de las llaves a las fronteras, del pesar a "la piel muy habitada", de las cenizas al mar, de las dos silabas que conforman la palabra vida a las dos que conforman la palabra muerte; mientras tanto, "la carga de zozobra / alimentada por el pezon de la ansiedad" acecha hora tras hora. En la impudicia de querer atrapar momentos y etapas resbaladizas, en estas paginas laten versos que nos hacen temblar cuando se descubre la nostalgia del otro. He aqui un testimonio de que es posible hacerlo. Quien mire a la vejez de lejos o ya la haya alcanzado y lea este libro, entendera el porque "le cuesta respirar a la cadera".Lucia Rivadeneyra

El viaje es una fuente de dones inesperados. Y en esta narración, Martín accede a ese misterio casi por azar, con la excusa de un simple recital del otro lado del país. Pero pronto la experiencia se dispara como una flor de caminos que se abren, poniendolo en contacto con realidades insolitas, como los efectos de la explosion de un volcan en plena Patagonia, o desgajamientos fantasticos en rincones inhospitos.Extasis, devastacion y conciencia se entrelazan con arrebatos de amistad, el amor, el alcohol, y la friccion de relaciones acabadas, que poco a poco nos sumergen en la soledad del mundo interior, donde la poesia parece abrir el unico puente.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE PEN HEANEY PRIZEI guess I must have been in two minds about the new day as the daylight gods began to march in straight lines going I dont know where.from The Spare RoomIn his first collection for more than a decade, Tom Paulin revisits themes of place, occupation, conflict and legacy, primarily in the context of his native Northern Ireland. Stories and memories, even histories, are shown to be both frail and persistent, troubling and vital. There is a powerful austerity in play as he sets aside the rhetorical force and linguistic dazzle for which he is renowned, to speak simply of later life and the losses it brings: if only some idea / could find its way / through enemy territory / then Id at last begin / to look up at the sky. As outward-looking as ever, he also includes here intimate and resonant versions from Brecht and Ronsard, and from the contemporary Palestinian poet, Walid Khazendar.To say the [Fivemiletown] was one of the best books of the Eighties isnt enough: it is one of the best books I know, or for that matter, am capable of imagining . . . what British or Irish poet was doing anything like this? Michael Hofmann, London Review of BooksTom Paulin is among the best of a great generation of Irish poets.Sunday TelegraphPaulin often creates the illusion that the poem is being made up as he goes along. Spontaneity is difficult to pull off in poetry but it is a Paulin forte. The casualness is only possible because of the absolute control of form, each poem a windbreak for his words . . . Kate Kellaway[Tom Paulins] short, punchy poems are characterised by their ability to evoke images through the smallest details, or through sudden shifts of register ... Mr Paulins poems fight against lazy uses of language ... in Loves Bonfire Mr Paulin demonstrates the strength that comes with saying less, not unlike relying on only a spark for warmth.The Economist
