Un poemario visionario y colectivo en el que se reescribe la pandemia como un mito de origen contemporáneo.Vengo de ver es la proyección musical, visionaria y salvaje de una sociedad que parece haber abandonado el cuidado de su propio futuro. Aullidos en la cima del presente, en estos poemas sincopados se entremezclan pensamiento, memoria y sensibilidad, explorando aun con altas dosis de esperanza y deseo la extraña epoca en que vivimos.Lucida y carnal, la voz de este libro entona preguntas de fondo. ¿Que horizonte extraer de un estado de intuicion apocaliptica? ¿Como defender los espacios de ternura en una realidad a menudo monstruosa? ¿Que azares y voluntades nos mantienen con vida, que vinculos secretos nos unen a la extincion?A traves de una mirada precisa y profetica, Andres Neuman propone un viaje que nos lleva del seismo a la delicadeza, del horror a la alucinacion, de la furia a la fiesta, hasta desembocar en una respuesta amorosa frente a la destruccion de la que somos parte.

Una melancólica reflexión sobre de la paternidad y sobre cómo se transmiten los afectos, las palabras y los lenguajes.«La infancia es más larga que la vida», reza Ana María Matute en uno de los epígr

Tras la segunda guerra mundial Inglaterra entró en estado de shock. La lenta reconstrucción de las ciudades y la economía, la descomposición de imperio y la afluencia migratoria alteraron para siempre la fisonomia de la isla.La poesia no fue ajena a las presiones psicologicas, economicas, culturales y sociales de su tiempo. Como una antena muy sofisticada (y algo enigmatica) recogio el malestar, el pesimismo, la soledad y la fealdad de la epoca: la Inglaterra verde y campestre de Worsdworth o Tennyson se vuelve gris y urbana en los poemas de esta generacion.Claro que partiendo de un sustrato comun cada uno de estos poetas ofrece visiones muy distintas y sofisticadas de su tiempo. Asi los dos poetas principales de esta generacion alcanzan posiciones casi confrontadas: Philip Larkin segrega su pesimismo cultivando un conservadurismo de ideas perfectamente adaptado a los tiempos (oficinas, coches, entretenimiento barato), con un lenguaje preciso, casi expurgado de lirismo; mientras que Ted Hughes despliega una vision salvaje de la caza, los animales y la naturaleza, asediada por las ciudades y la rutina de las oficinas, con un lenguaje expresionista y telurico.Abran y lean este catalogo de visiones (poeticas), unas veces fantasticas, otras veces mordaces, sobre la misma sociedad fria, gris, mecanizada, solitaria, y apatica en la que en buena medida seguimos viviendo.

La recopilación de todos los poemas que Raúl Quinto ha escrito hasta la fecha, con un apéndice inédito.Un idioma siempre al borde de la extinción recoge toda la producción poética publicada hasta la fecha por Raul Quinto desde que en 2002 apareciera su primer poemario, Grietas. Esta edicion, que abarca mas de dos decadas, contiene los seis libros que le siguieron, asi como tambien una antologia de poemas dispersos y un librito inedito, escrito durante los dias del confinamiento, titulado Cuaderno de la peste de 1348 y que aparece aqui por primera vez.Su poesia, a medio camino entre lo lirico y lo que Luis Bague ha llegado a denominar instalaciones discursivas, funciona como un mecanismo textual donde se pone de relieve el conflicto permanente entre la realidad y el lenguaje desde un compromiso en el que lo estetico y la busqueda de sus limites pesan tanto como lo politico o lo existencial. A traves de un trabajo formal depurado y en continua transformacion se nos presentan los temas que recorren toda su obra: la historia, el poder, la incomunicacion, la identidad, el horror y la belleza, y que lo han convertido en una de las voces mas relevantes y reconocidas de la poesia española de este siglo.

Una mirada poética que une el arañazo de la historia colectiva con la emoción de la vivencia más íntima.Hay poemas que nacen en las redacciones, entre las noticias de última hora; otros, envueltos por la calidez del hogar. Algunos hablan de lo que supone migrar; varios de la severidad de la Historia. La mayoria no hacen diferencia entre la experiencia personal y la colectiva.En Bululu, Jaime Santirso corresponsal en China y testigo de grandes sucesos del siglo xxi ofrece poesia sin barreras: cotidiana, certera, social. Con el mismo impetu de sus cronicas desde Wuhan, dando cuenta del primer confinamiento del mundo ante una pandemia, Santirso escribe aqui sobre su madre, sus abuelos, sus viajes, los vinculos, la distancia y el recuerdo, su pais. Cada poema es una delicada estampa, que hace de Bululu un acto de resistencia: una poesia que observa, escucha y deleita.

La nueva y esperada reedición de uno de los debut poéticos más deslumbrantes de los últimos años.Ocho años después de su aparición, Lae Sánchez regresa a este poemario íntimo, valiente y luminoso. Una edicion revisada y actualizada con poemas ineditos.El poemario es un viaje emocional hacia la reconstruccion personal, una carta abierta a la vida, al amor y al renacer tras la perdida. En sus paginas, la autora nos habla del duelo, del desamor, del aprendizaje y de la resiliencia, con una voz cercana y poderosa. Este libro no busca contar una historia de amor, sino una historia de crecimiento. Es un recorrido que parte del dolor de las despedidas, del ya no estas para llegar a la calma de quien aprende a quererse sin condiciones. Los versos se mueven en tres ejes vida, felicidad y tiempo, que forman el triangulo esencial de su mensaje: todo pasa, todo vuelve y siempre hay belleza en volver a empezar y abrazar lo nuestro. Con una poetica de lo cotidiano, Lae Sanchez convierte cada herida en una leccion, cada caida en impulso y cada final en un nuevo principio. Asi que si lees desde el cansancio, la oscuridad, la duda o bajo la tormenta: Todo va a salir bien, repite la autora como un mantra. Y al cerrar el libro, cualquier lectora confiara en que no queda otra que pelearlo porque todo acabara bien. ¡Que bueno que vinisteis de nuevo!

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.

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.

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.

The definitive edition of Plaths poetry for readers, scholars and studentsSylvia Plaths first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This present volume emerges out of decades of research and almost doubles the content of that previous edition.The book is in two parts. It begins with the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and on which her reputation is founded, and follows with those poems written in childhood and through her student years, sourced from diaries and letters, published in school magazines, and copied into the manuscript book that Plath kept for her own records. In each instance, the editors have dated and selected the most authoritative text, and provide critical notes that offer insight into Plaths extraordinary evolution as a poet - from her early, precocious determination to be a writer to her place in literary history as the twentieth-centurys most fiercely burning star.

Radically lyrical, politically astute, this new collection features six writers whose every word is an act of affirmation. As it must be, for their art to flourish beside one of the worlds great languages.In Alcatraz: Poems from the Contemporary Welsh, we find youthful energies tackling climate change, global extinctions, even human life beyond our planet. Whether in Wales or Palestine, Manhattan or the island of Alcatraz itself, we learn that todays Welsh language poetry, with its unique perspective, is as valid as any verse in the world. And, possibly, more vital.If these translations take liberties, none are unforgivable. The spirit of each poem remains unblemished. Here, veteran writers, such as Menna Elfyn, Karen Owen and Iwan Llwyd, mix with the next generations Iestyn Tyne, Llyr Gwyn and Sian Northey. Alcatraz is an essential work for anyone interested in the good health of modern poetry in the UK.
