A reunião da poesia de Adão Ventura (1939-2004) era há muito aguardada. Nascido numa terra que, para nossa sorte, já foi e continua sendo cantada por tantos grandes poetas, ele lançou uma voz única d

A macumba dos meus é um terreiro em forma de página, onde versos e aquarelas dançam e festejam as espiritualidades afro-indígenas.Nas palavras de Gustavo Prado, a poesia é crítica e contemplativa, questionando as violencias do colonialismo e do racismo, mas tambem celebrando a força dos Orixas, Encantados e Ancestrais.Entre os cantos sagrados, ha espaço para o amor que cura, a amizade que fortalece e a subjetividade que liberta. As ilustraçes em aquarelas, em cores fluidas e vibrantes, acompanham cada poema como oferendas visuais, convidando o leitor a mergulhar em um universo onde o divino e o humano se entrelaçam.A macumba dos meus e um ato de resistencia e beleza um chamado para honrar as raizes, refletir as lutas e se perder (ou se achar) nos misterios do axe.

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.

En la celebración de su 80 cumpleaños, Pere Gimferrer condensa en Balada décadas de búsqueda poética en un único canto de deslumbrante intensidad. Con Balada, Pere Gimferrer nos presenta una obra plena de madurez: un poema erudito y torrencial de naturaleza sinfonica, en ocho movimientos que compendian la memoria lucida del mundo y del lenguaje, sus fastos verbales e imaginativos, entre claroscuros y fulgores. Balada es la celebracion de una vida y una escritura, incesante, indagatoria, visionaria, a traves de un repertorio de referencias culturales, literarias, cinematograficas y urbanas que constituyen la memoria encendida de Gimferrer. Asi, sus versos destellan entre los ecos de Calderon y Shakespeare, Cernuda, Alberti o Keats, las ciudades de Barcelona y Madrid a Paris y Delhi--, las peliculas y los pintores sobre los que pivota su memoria, a partir del Greco y su retablo manierista.A sus ochenta años, Pere Gimferrer condensa en su escritura decadas de busqueda poetica en un unico canto de deslumbrante intensidad. Esta Balada es una ceremonia celebratoria.Este libro no solo celebra los 80 años de un creador ineludible en nuestra literatura: confirma una voz que, desde hace decadas, nos recuerda que la poesia es el arte de volver tangible lo que abrigan las sombras.

«El legado de Ernesto Cardenal nos enseña que la poesía es una búsqueda de la verdad con vocación de atravesar continentes, constelaciones y espíritus» [Aitana Monzón].La obra de Ernesto Cardenal (Gr

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

"E o que eu faço com isso?"Essa pergunta reverbera pelos corredores de supermercado, nas frestas de relacionamentos desfeitos, nos protocolos absurdos do cotidiano e na busca por sentido em meio a paisagem urbana.Em seus poemas, Gustavo Simas confronta o leitor e a si mesmo com a perplexidade diante do vivido, do perdido, do observado.Com lirismo confessional e ironia afiada, o autor navega por temas como o amor e seus desencontros, a memoria afetiva impregnada em objetos comuns, as armadilhas da autopercepço e as ansiedades da vida contemporanea. Simas constroi um universo poetico singular, onde o banal revela profundezas inesperadas e a linguagem se dobra e desdobra em busca de expresso.Esta obra no oferece respostas, mas interrogaçes sensiveis e inteligentes. Uma provocaço para olhar de perto os detalhes, as falhas, as belezas tortas do dia a dia e, talvez, encontrar na propria pergunta um ponto de partida.

The ancient Greek word for tragedy () is a compound of goat () and song (). In Phoebe Giannisis Goatsong, the seam that connects human and animal, myths and history, is the body.In Giannisis language, life obeys myth. A man places a screaming cicada in his mouth, reminding us of a scene from Platos Phaedrus, where Socrates claims cicadas to have been humans who became entranced by the invention of singing, and didnt stop to eat or drink. When the goddess Thetis dips her newborn son, Achilles, into the River Styx to protect all but his famous heel where her hand grips, were told the place of the mothers grip / is the mark of death. Adjacent to the mythical setting is the material, where the rumination of goats, their digestive cycle chewing, swallowing, then recalling food back into the mouth to be reconsidered begins after weaning, and is lain alongside how we think: from the moment of separation / from the mother / they ruminate. In these lyric enactments, all is transformative and transformed; territories of land, the body and history are blurred, and nothing is still.From Homer to Donna Haraway, Derrida to state archives, klephtic ballads and rebetiko, to Parmenides and Giannisis dog, Ivan, the many human and animal voices of Goatsong form an incantatory lyricism and layered engagement unique in literature.

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".

Khalvat e una raccolta poetica che prende il nome dallantico termine persiano che significa isolamento e rifugio, indicando nella tradizione sufi il raccoglimento interiore necessario per la contemplazione. Lorenzo Foltran accompagna il lettore in un viaggio poetico intimo attraverso tre sezioni distinte. La prima parte esplora temi universali di amore e spiritualita, lontani dalla materialita del mondo contemporaneo, dove lombra dei due amanti trova riparo vicino alla fonte spirituale. La seconda sezione affronta il legame amoroso che resiste al tempo e alle fatiche della quotidianita, in un confronto continuo con la realta economica e le sue contraddizioni. Lultima parte immerge il lettore in un mondo liquido e privato, dove il naufrago-protagonista naviga tra ricordi e proiezioni future, in un dialogo costante tra presente e altra vita. Foltran, gia autore di Il tempo perso in aeroporto e vincitore del Concorso Nazionale Sinestetica, conferma la sua capacita di coniugare lirismo contemplativo e riflessione esistenziale, offrendo una poesia accessibile che parla al cuore dei lettori contemporanei.

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.

Os contos aqui reunidos se nutrem de acontecimentos que marcaram o país, dos quais sublinham a gravidade. Para isso, esmiúçam tanto o interior quanto o entorno dos personagens, quase sempre envoltos em lutas particulares e publicas. Porem, ninguem chega a realizar nenhuma façanha, de modo que no se pode falar de heroismo. Mesmo quem nutre certezas parece no compreender bem o que faz sobre a face da terra.Dessa forma, as historias comprovam que a ficço pode partir de fatos e, ainda assim, alçar voo proprio. Indagativas e nascidas do jogo com a linguagem, as narrativas expem as contradiçes humanas e abrem-se a multiplos sentidos, firmando-se no campo propriamente literario o que torna a leitura, a um so tempo, densa e agradavel.Este livro se compe de cinco historias nas quais os personagens produzem muita adrenalina. Aos riscos enfrentados no ambito pessoal se soma a necessidade de sobreviver a mudanças significativas no Brasil.A primeira narrativa tem a frente uma guerrilheira que, capturada na primeira metade da decada de 1970, enfrenta seus proprios paradoxos e o peso da represso. O conto seguinte marca o inicio do processo de abertura politica, quando uma trupe universitaria ve o perigo de encenar uma peça engajada ampliado devido a morte de uma colega por consumo de droga pesada. O terceiro enredo ficcionaliza um trecho da vida do escritor gaucho Caio Fernando Abreu, de quem realça a independencia de pensamento e a liberdade criativa no periodo de retorno a democracia.Tal protagonismo situado a esquerda se desloca para o lado oposto, onde, decadas adiante, um general sonha em reeditar o regime militar. A coletanea se fecha com a suposta vinda aos tropicos do romancista frances Louis-Ferdinand Celine, que usa seu conhecido desencanto para reiterar que o egoismo compromete qualquer projeto de melhoria do mundo.Como se percebe, os entrechos se distribuem ao longo dos ultimos cinquenta anos, dos quais oferecem uma perspectiva em que a depuraço historica se harmoniza a lapidaço da escrita. Assim, convidam ao prazer estetico e a reflexo sobre diferentes dimenses da existencia.

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.

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.

La poeta incita a mirar lo que nos rodea con la pausa que necesita la vida, para darles forma a nuestros sueños y nuestra libertad.El miedo es una emoción universal que nace del instinto más profundo de supervivencia, una alarma interior que nos advierte del peligro y nos hace pensar, reflexionar antes de saltar al vacio. En ese espacio cuarteado al que nos aferramos cuando sentimos el vertigo es donde arraigan estos poemas de Rocio Rojas-Marcos. La primera parte de Miedo, que da su titulo al libro, esta formada por cuatro secciones donde la palabra desbordada fluye como la corriente torrencial de un rio. Son poemas en los que, mirandose desde la distancia, la voz poetica se aleja de los miedos que necesita conjurar, hasta llegar al ultimo de ellos donde salta como si se defendiese ante un espejo de si misma. La segunda parte, "Gaman", palabra japonesa que nombra la capacidad de soportar las dificultades sin mostrar debilidad, esta formada por treinta haikus escritos al mismo tiempo que los poemas, a modo de breves resumenes y destilacion final de todas las palabras antes dichas.
