Antes de empezar escuchar los surrealistas versos de “Los paisajes de la multitud”, tendríamos que plantearnos un hecho fundamental en la vida del poeta: cuando Federico Lorca llega a Nueva York, el caos constante de tráfico, gigantescos edificios, miles de personas siempre corriendo...producen en él un efecto que lo deslumbra completamente al compararlo con su idílica vida en Fuente Vaqueros y Granada tan pequeñas y provincianas, pero a la vez tan llenas de luz y de arte. Ese contraste producirá en el poeta una profunda melancolía.

The reconstruction and comparison of the model’s forms in the portrait and face image, in connection with new discoveries in science and archaeology, has aroused some interest in the funeral cult and its supernatural techniques. Continuum, plastic, and graphics of African art. It was a leap to understanding the image of Nefertiti, its unusual proportions, and the spiritual ideal in the work of Modigliani in his gallery.

MINX reveals the vibrant but precarious world of a multi-racial Romani family: a world of grandfathers brewing moonshine in marrows, basement reggae parties, and a mother struggling to support her two daughters on the proceeds of her shadowy profession. Their powerful bond helps the sisters survive when they’re taken into care, in a children’s home that forcibly separates them.

Gottfried Benn im Originalton Gottfried Benns lyrisches Werk gehört zum Sprachgewaltigsten, was die deutsche Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts hervorgebracht hat. Diese Auswahl setzt nicht einseitig auf Bekanntes, sondern lädt zu neuen Entdeckungen ein. Der melancholische Klang von Gottfried Benns Stimme und die leise Musikalität seines Vortrags verleihen den Texten eine ganz eigene Intensität.

Fans of Jesse Thistle’s extraordinary debut From the Ashes have already had the pleasure of knowing his poetry. In Scars and Stars, he digs deeper into the poetic form, which is especially close to his heart. Charting his own history, the stories of people from his past, the burning intensity of new and unexpected love, the complex legacies of family and community, and the beauty of parenthood, this collection is a profound mediation that expands his engagement with the ideas and experiences that have shaped his body of work thus far.

Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable second collection follows the course of a 'blood condition' as it finds its way to deeply personal grounds. From the banks of the Zambezi river to London and Leeds, these poems speak to how distance and time, nations and history can collapse within a body. With astonishing lyricism and musicality, this is a story of multiple inheritances—of grief and survival, renewal and the painful process of letting go—and a hymn to the people and places that run in our blood.

Seahouses is the first collection of poetry from cultural historian Richard Barnett. Those familiar with Barnett’s non-fiction will be unsurprised to discover he is also a formidable poet, with a distinctly English approach that is at once fluid, precise, cynical, and tender. Not a single word in this volume is wasted; least of all in the award-winning title sequence, where the sea sifts and rolls through the dreams of an old man asleep in a deckchair, conjuring a vision of history, and our human crossings.

The Rhymes in My Mind is Samantha Turner’s latest hugely personal and beautifully observational collection of poetry. Twenty poems paint verbal pictures of human emotions from love and fear, faith and longing, to nostalgia for her native North England and her love of nature and the changing world around her. Written with the sensitive word-brush of a master verbal watercolorist, her poems are paintings for the mind.

The title poem depicts the struggle between good and evil with a surprise ending. Hope enlivens a dark universe. Dances, music, and magic explode with joyful energy. Brief sketches and humor vs challenges dealing with existential threats. Do we really die? New doors open, and nature shines at its most uplifting.

Beneath a Willow Tree takes us on a journey to fall more deeply in love with life through a deep connection with the natural world. These 33 poems celebrate the cosmic dance of nature and Spirit and honor the mysterious bond between our inner and outer landscapes. Join Lucy Wyer as she extols nature’s gifts that help us to expand our mystical consciousness.

Hate was easy, loving was hard; hate lay down like a rotten fruit, but love needs to be nurtured. Roy McFarlane's second poetry collection The Healing Next Time is a timely and unparalleled book of interwoven sequences on institutional racism, deaths in custody, and of a life story set against the ever-changing backdrop of Birmingham at the turn of the millennium.

A collection of poetry by Kieran Marsden.

Riverscapes is Basil's fourth poetry collection, a versed memoir, that frames the poet’s life as if within the journey of a river from its headwaters to its delta. It begins in his native Greece and moves forward to his second home in America. These poems navigate through the poet's heritage and his life - a journey that spans a lifetime of memories, loss, regrets, joys, awareness, and acceptance of what is.

Kingdomland is the debut poetry collection of Rachael Allen - a writer of rare vision and flair. The world she creates is suffused with surreal images and uncanny incidents. Unexplained violences and strange metamorphoses take shape in the 'glowering dusk'. And yet, all too clearly, we recognise life here on earth, its everyday griefs, dysfunctions and injustices. Where distinctions between murder and bloodletting, corruption and consumption are blurred. Where a pet tarantula or mimic octopus might find itself beside glands and processed meats.

Sky Ensouled is the first volume in Prisms, the illuminating second series of Lauren Coyle Rosen’s selected poetic works. Prisms as frame refers to the ways in which the light of spirit or consciousness is refracted through various forms in our inner and outer realms–through prisms of the mind, heart, and soul, and through prisms of culture and nature, music and words, and much else.

I often think about our youth. It was indeed a strangely shaped toy, with a short body dragging a very long tail, spreading like wings, refusing to leave. A lamp is still on, but a song has been sung. A play has not ended, a love has reached the end of the road. We salute you. And the new curtain is about to be drawn. Maybe that's what human life is like, ending, starting, starting again, then ending. No matter what, we have to shoulder our suffering and happiness, moving forward, don't turn around.

This image-driven, sound-driven collection carries us to the working-class Portland neighborhood of Lents, where Dickman was raised by a single mother. Here, as a skateboarding boy practices his kickflip on the street, enlightenment simmers under the surface of both the natural world and the human constructions that threaten it.

“You were supposed to find God here / the signs said.” In these poems, hinterlands demand our close attention; overlooked places of industry become sites for pilgrimage; and history large and small—of a city, of a family, of a shirt—is unearthed.

Crashing Waves is a companion through the highs and lows of being human. The thread that ties our human body to our infinite soul. The meeting point of the timed and the timeless. A surrendering and invitation to the freedom that comes when we allow our true selves to be felt and expressed.
