En ella se hace un repaso pormenorizado de todas las obras de corte poético de Rueda, de manera que apreciamos la evolución en los rasgos distintivos de su estilo: el gusto por el costumbrismo que retrata el ambiente rural andaluz de su epoca, las potentes imagenes sensoriales, un incipiente modernismo y una plasticidad tan pictorica como musical en las metaforas.

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.

Poetry is Palestines most cherished art form a way to voice resistance and preserve cultural memory. This powerful bilingual anthology captures a century of both celebration and struggle.The twenty-one poets gathered here span a remarkable range: from the lyrical rhetoric of Tawfiq Zayyad to the cosmic imagery of Walid al-Halis; from the romantic cadences of Salma al-Jayyusi to the profound sense of belonging in Mahmoud Darwish. Together, their work embodies the enduring spirit of a people who once all called Palestine home.Edited and introduced by the literary scholar A.M. Elmessiri, The Palestinian Wedding is arranged around six resonant themes: revolution, war, elegy, belonging, resistance and steadfastness.

Por fim o livro chegou ao fim para mim. Foram dias incríveis, na normalidade da vida. Abstinência para falar de embriaguez, cigarros, tudo bem, a vida segue e seguiu. Sibila foi embora, fiquei iludido,

Há corações que nunca descansam. Não porque não saibam amar, mas justamente porque amam demais. São corações que vivem em estado de espera, em vigília constante, como se a vida fosse escapar por entr

While the place and year of Steve Malmudes birth (Manhattan, 1940) nominally stamp him as a second-generation poet of the New York School, his hieratic, almost ideogrammatic poems, made slowly and carefully sometimes over many years are utterly distinct from those of his peers. With substantial selections from his books all but ten of Malmudes previously published poems are included here Red Carpet also gathers unpublished early work (the opening sonnet was written in 1958, when Malmudes guiding star was Robert Lowell) along with poems written after he relocated to Limerick, Maine, in 2002.

I thought to myself that I needed to sing death, perform a rite for death, write death, then bid farewell to it. The title section of Kim Hyesoons visceral Autobiography of Death consists of forty-nine poems, each poem representing a single day during which the spirit roams after death before it enters the cycle of reincarnation.

Poetry of how we shape what is lost or past, and how it shapes us. Bernard ODonoghue investigates anchorage as a place we build for ourselves out of memory and story. The Ireland of his youth is rich in colour and precise in detail, and while he acknowledges the power of the past, he also brings it into question: I wish Id never started on this story; / It may have been a dream, or maybe not . . . ODonoghues informal and at times playful tone is that of a poet disarming themselves as well as their reader. Here are the paradoxes at the heart of human nature: what we are most attached to can be, in the end, what ties us down; the reluctance to return can arise out of the fear of finding ourselves locked out.ODonoghues poems are an object lesson in how to write poetry that matters.PN ReviewThe poignancy of ODonoghues migratory imagination is . . . the perfect travelling companion.Times Literary SupplementCompelling and simple diction . . . full of gentle, sometimes undetectable flashes of humour.London MagazineAs with everything ODonoghue writes, the more you look, the more you see.Scotsman

A Telegraph Book of the Year 2024In Conjurors, a major poet is revealed for the first time. Julian Orde (191774) published only in magazines during her lifetime. A friend of Stevie Smith and an intimate of Dylan Thomas and W.S. Graham, she was one of those peripheral figures who turns out to be a centre in her own right. Her evolving worlds and changing landscapes as a writer come alive in these substantial, unexpected poems. Her lyrical surrealism is prophetic and retains its charge:The speckled water rippled into minnows, Of worms and turf smelt all the fish pale morning, Earth pushed up its smell of worms through grass and wet, Through sodden leaf, mushroom and winking frog. I, on the bank, lived quick as breathing frog, Its lungs and mine puffed out Septembers thin Morning, sallow and silver, fish-filled, the sky in a river.Wherever I go in the guilty years there still Goes my innocence with me [...]William Empson celebrated her. Wonder at nature, wonder at all experience, is her note, and she gets a great deal of variety into it; also she has a beautiful ear, and a supply of unforced humour.The editor of PN Review said, Its hard to imagine the middle of the twentieth century now without Julian Orde. Carcanets recovery of her work thanks to the patient archaeology of James Keery and V. Beatson proves that the past, even the relatively recent past, is at least as rich in resource and surprise as the present.

Longlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize 2025 A Time Book of the Year 2024 A Financial Times Poetry Book of the Year 2024Sidetracks, Bei Daos first new collection in fifteen years, is also his first long poem and undoubtedly his magnum opus the artistic culmination of a lifetime devoted to the renewal and reinvention of language. As a poet, I am always lost, he once declared. Opening Sidetracks with a prologue of heavenly questions and following on with thirty-four cantos, the poem travels forward and backward along the divergent paths of the poets wandering life. From his time as a Young Pioneer in Beijing, the poem roves through the years of exile living in six countries, back to the rural construction site where he worked during the Cultural Revolution, to the sunshine tablecloth in his kitchen in Davis, California, and his emotional visit home after a thirteen-year separation (the mother tongue has deepened my foreignness). The various currents of our times rush into his lifelines, reconfigured through the vortex of experience and the poets encounters with friends, strangers and with other artists living and dead. He moves from place to place unable to return home.As the poet Michael Palmer noted: Bei Daos work, in its rapid transitions, abrupt juxtapositions and frequent recurrence to open syntax evokes the un-speakability of the exiles condition. It is a poetry of explosive convergences, of submersions and unfixed boundaries, "amid languages".

A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale.

Simon Armitage turns Hansel & Gretel into a darkly glittering fairy tale for grown-ups. In vivid and trenchant language, he puts a contemporary spin on the tale we know from the Brothers Grimm. Here is a twenty-first century story, whose preoccupations are poverty and hunger, war and flight, a shifting dystopian landscape where nothing is quite as it seems.Text and illustration fuse beautifully to summon a nightmarish vision that nonetheless contains humour and humanity and the possibility of a more hopeful future to come.

Reeling in the face of collapsing systems, of politics, identity and the banalities and distortions of modern living, Nick Laird confronts age-old anxieties, questions of aloneness, friendship, the push and pull of daily life. At the books heart lies the title sequence, a profound meditation on a fathers dying, the reverberations of which echo throughout in poems that interrogate inheritance and legacy, illness and justice, accounts of what is lost and what, if anything, can be retrieved.Laird is a poet capable of heading off in any and every direction, where layers of association transport us from a clifftop in County Cork to the library steps in New Yorks Washington Square, from a face-off between Freud and Michelangelos Moses to one between the poet and a squirrel in a Kilburn garden. There is conflation and conflagration, rage and fire, neither of which are seen as necessarily destructive. But there is great tenderness, too, a fondness for what grows between the cracks, especially those glimpses into the unadulterated world of childhood, before the knowledge or accumulation of loss, where everything is still at stake and infinite, the darkness under the cattle grid.

Winner of the Michael Hartnett Poetry Award 2024Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry 2023Shortlisted for the Pigott Poetry Prize 2023Tara Bergins third collection, Savage Tales continues to explore original territory, bringing the riddle, song and dialogue into a series of formally inventive and blackly comic sequences. Bergins book asks us to steer our way through a chorus of exchanges and situations, as she charts the fraught course between the making of individual poems and, uneasy bedfellow of this sustained activity, an authority which is always here called into question. Dramatizing the contemporary and the classic with great wit, ingenuity and panache, Savage Tales confirms Bergin as one of the outstanding poets of our time.

Following his acclaimed translations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, Simon Armitage shines light on another jewel of Middle English verse. In his highly engaging version, Armitage communicates the energy and humour of the tale with all the cut and thrust of the original. An unnamed narrator overhears a fierce verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and philosophical to the ribald and ridiculous. The disputed issues still resonate - concerning identity, cultural habits, class distinctions and the right to be heard. Excerpts were featured in the BBC Radio 4 podcast, The Poet Laureate Has Gone to His Shed. Including the lively illustrations of Clive Hicks-Jenkins, this is a book for the whole household to read and enjoy.
