Halfway tree. The journey of our life found me / there at midnight in a ramshackle state. So begins Lorna Goodisons astonishing new translation of The Inferno by Dante, a poet she once described as uncompromising as an Old Testament prophet, stern as a Rastafarian elder.This Jamaican Dante, a quarter-century in the making, is as much transformation as it is translation: the poets narrator, its Dante figure, is now guided through an underworld by Goodisons great Jamaican predecessor Louise Bennett, Miss Lou in the book. Goodison draws on the entire continuum of Jamaican speech yet securely grounds the action in Dantes formal architecture, bringing an entire world to life: we encounter other poets, including Goodisons friend Derek Walcott, as well as Caribbean politicians, reggae innovators and other public figures. Here, she recreates the journey through the unpaved and rocky road of Dantes Hell for a contemporary audience and attempts to do for Caribbean vernacular what Dante did for his Italian language in the fourteenth century endow it with an entirely new vocal music and power.

A sequel to Philip Terrys Dantes Inferno (2014), where Dante relocates to the University of Essex, here the action shifts from Dantes Island of Purgatory to Mersea Island, in Essex still, where the poet and his guide Ted Berrigan climb a mountain made out of Flexible Rock Substitute (FRS). Dantes artists are replaced with contemporary artists and artists-in-residence on the Essex Alp, including Grayson Perry, Rachel Whiteread and Damien Hirst. Hirst, an example of pride, is encountered not carrying a rock on his back, as in Dante, but carrying a washing-machine, a Siemens Avantgarde, which runs through its spin cycle as he carries it. Other characters encountered include Christopher Marlowe, Boris Johnson, Lady Diana, Jean Paul Getty, Hilary Clinton, Allen Ginsberg, Samuel Beckett, Martin McGuinness, Ciaran Carson and Anoushka S hankar. On the final terrace, the poet, accompanied by Berrigan and poet Tim Atkins, passes through a wall of flames to reach Dantes Paradise, here modelled on the Eden Project, where the poet meets his Beatrice, Marina Warner. The poem comes to a climax with an interview with Marina Warner in the LRB Tent, followed by a gig from the Pogues, for which Shane MacGowan has been brought up from Hell on an Arts Council Exceptional Talent scheme.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WALCOTT PRIZEHer poetry stands unsurpassed in its popularity and technical accomplishment - theres no better contemporary writer of forms such as the triolet - and in the wit, acuity and seriousness of purpose with which she shows us what it is to be human.Guardian This volume comprises the full poetic works of one of our wittiest, most beloved writers, and includes many previously uncollected poems.When Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis was published in 1986, Wendy Cope became that rarest of creatures: a celebrated poet who was also a best-seller. Her artful combination of insight and wit made an extraordinary impact in poems that cocked a gentle snook at the pomposity of a literary world hitherto dominated by men.Through four further collections, Cope has continued to delight her readers while finding a whole new generation of enthusiasts when her poem The Orange went viral. Together these poems catalogue the desires and fears that underlie our ordinary existences - love and heartbreak, disappointment and a hard-won capacity to find happiness, even if only in the form of a poem.. In their profound attention to and encapsulation of the everyday, these poems serve to make our own lives the more remarkable and memorable. Collected Poems celebrates a lifetimes achievement by a poet who has been original and distinctive from the very start, and provides the perfect accompaniment to the trials, tribulations and joys of our all too human lives.This collection also features Nick Garlands original illustrations for The River Girl (1991).Her poetry stands unsurpassed in its popularity and technical accomplishment - theres no better contemporary writer of forms such as the triolet - and in the wit, acuity and seriousness of purpose with which she shows us what it is to be human. Rishi Dastidar, GuardianWe can love Wendy Copes words . . . for the rhymes they reveal but also for the sad truths they speak. Adam Gopnik, New Yorker One has to go back to Byron to find a poet as consistently witty, wide-ranging and technically outstanding as Cope.Los Angeles Review of BooksWe need not wonder at Wendy Copes continued, wide appeal. She writes poems that people want to read, and this is how poems survive. Literary ReviewWit and heart? Copes fans should rest assured there are enough gems here with both.TelegraphWendy Copes real strength lies not in charm or insight (she has buckets of both) but in the pitch-perfect exactitude of her writing.Sunday TimesHer poems are moving, memorable, funny, clever; they alert readers to what it means to be human.PN ReviewAny book of [Copes] work is a national treasure chest ... her work has, with care and precision, given us pathways to negotiate the world ...

Given the name "Adam" by police officers, the unidentified boy was between four and eight years old. What comes next cannot without a story of water and offering. The sun shines and we gather because the river allows it. Na from clap dem dey enter dance. We enter with, and as, Adam. - Gboyega OdubanjoHaunted by the discovery of the remains of a young Black boy in the River Thames in London, 2001, Gboyega Odubanjos Adam builds from the Genesis myth and from Yoruba culture to examine with an unflinching eye the disappearance of a child and its implication for all Black lives, and for the society in which we live.Gboyega Odubanjo (1996-2023) was born and raised in East London. He is the author of three poetry pamphlets: While I Yet Live (Bad Betty Press), Two stops short of Barking (The Alternative School of Economics) and Aunty Uncle Poems (The Poetry Business/New Poets List), winner of the Michael Marks Poetry Award and an Eric Gregory Award.

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.

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.

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.

Thom Gunns controlled used of form and the metaphysical was in evidence from his first collection, Fighting Terms, in 1954, which was widely regarded - perhaps not entirely accurately - as a contributor to The Movement and the opposition to modernism. The same technical ability and formal prowess endured after he moved from Cambridge to San Francisco, though became, from The Sense of Movement (1959) onwards, shot through with a new mood of hedonism, freedom and the excesses of the gay and counter-cultural scenes of 1960s America in poems written in celebration of rock and roll, myth, and hallucinogenic drugs. The 80s saw a shift in this life with the devastation of the Aids epidemic, which claimed the lives of a number of Gunns friends. Many of these friends are memorialised in the moving, passionate and humane collections of his later years; the Forward Prize-winning The Man With the Night Sweats, and Boss Cupid, Gunns last collection, published in 2000.This Selected Poems, compiled by his friend Clive Wilmer and accompanied by insightful notes, serves to honour a true original, a thrill-seeker in the language, and to exhibit the best of Thom Gunns electric, powerful, intensely joyful poems.

I first read a W. S. Graham poem in 1949. It sent a shiver down my spine. Forty-five years later nothing has changed. His song is unique and his work an inspiration. Harold Pinter. From his first publications in the early 1940s, to his final works of the late 1970s, W. S. Graham has given us a poetry of intense power and inquisitive vision - a body of work regarded by many as among the best Romantic poetry of the twentieth century. This New Collected Poems, edited by poet and Graham-scholar Matthew Francis and with a foreword by Douglas Dunn, offers the broadest picture yet of Grahams work.

Thirty years of work from "the most significant English-language poet born since the second world war.The Times Literary Supplement

Each year Eliots presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble. Ted HughesPoet, dramatist, critic and editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The Waste Land and Old Possums Book of Practical Cats.

Finalist for the 2021 Glenna Luschei Prize for African PoetryThis is the very first anthology of Ethiopian poetry in English, packed with all the energy, wit and heartache of a beautiful country and language. From folk and religious poems, warrior boasts, praises of women and kings and modern plumbing; through a flowering of literary poets in the twentieth century; right up to thirty of the most exciting contemporary Amharic poets working both inside and outside the country.These poems ask what it means to be Ethiopian today, part of a young fast-growing economy, heirs to the one African state which was never colonised, but beset by deep political, ethnic and moral problems.

In Love in Another Language Dick Davis is shown to be the outstanding formal poet of his generation, a master of rhyme and metre, a poet worthy of keeping company with the best lyric writers in our tradition. His Collected Poems draws on eight previous publications and includes a section of new work. Davis has also established himself as the leading translator of Persian literature in our time (Washington Post) and this volume includes a selection of his celebrated translations. Daviss original poems evoke the experiences of travel and of living in a culture in which one is a stranger, where empathy is at once difficult and necessary. His translations can be read as a record of his attempts at such empathy, in poetic terms, across centuries and cultures.

The figure of the young American poet living in Paris is familiar from Paul Austers celebrated novels; here that character is realised in Austers own stunningly accomplished verse. His penetrating and charged poetry resembles little else in recent American literature. This collection of his poems, translations, and composition notes from early in his career furnish yet further evidence of his literary mastery.Taut, densely lyrical and everywhere informed by a powerful and subtle music, this selection begins with the compact verse fragments of Spokes (written when Auster was in his early twenties) and Unearth, continues on through the more ample meditations of Wall Writing, Disappearances, Effigies, Fragments From the Cold, Facing the Music, and White Spaces, then moves further back in time to include Austers revealing translations of many of the French poets who influenced his own writing - including Paul Eluard, Andre Breton, Tristan Tzara, Philippe Soupault, Robert Desnos and Rene Char - as well as the provocative and previously unpublished Notes From A Composition Book (1967). An introduction by Norman Finkelstein connects biographical elements to a consideration of the work, and takes in Austers early literary and philosophical influences. For those interested in Paul Austers novels - the now-classic New York Trilogy or The Brooklyn Follies - this book is an invaluable opportunity to witness his early development.Powerful, sometimes haunting, cool, precise and limpid, this view from the past to the present will appeal to those unfamiliar with this aspect of Austers work, as well as those already acquainted with his poetry. Readers will agree that Austers grasp on language and the world around him is not only questioning, but mysterious and very human, perceptive, and deeply compelling

In this new edition of the poems of Robert Henryson, David Parkinson offers editions of Henrysons Fables, The Testament of Cresseid, Orpheus and Eurydice and twelve shorter poems, grouped according to the strength of their attribution to Henryson, as well as the glosses and explanatory and textual notes characteristic of Middle English Texts Series volumes. Henryson was a prominent Scottish poet writing in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century. This edition serves as an excellent addition to the Scots language and late medieval Scottish poetry.

Friedrich Neumann described Thomasins Der Welsche Gast as a linguistic phenomenon without comparison within the corpus of German literature of the Hohenstaufen period. In the didactic literature of the time, Der Welsche Gast does indeed occupy a unique position ... [It] betrays the heavy hand of the clerical moralist who moves from providing the younger members of his audience with a primer for proper social etiquette in his early verses to a meticulous analysis of what he clearly viewed as the appropriate ethical code for the nobility of his time, often presented against the backdrop of a thundering condemnation of the state of contemporary affairs ... [T]he work remains a remarkable product of an important period in German literature and indeed in medieval European culture; it may be argued with considerable justification that Der Welsche Gast is the most significant didactic work of the German High Middle Ages. Unique in its own time, yet apparently valued by Thomasins contemporaries and immediately succeeding generations, it belongs very much to its own age, yet, like so much of the literature of the German Middle Ages, it touches chords in the modern reader which cannot and should not be ignored.
