Story
Diane Seuss's signature voice—audacious in its honesty, virtuosic in its artistry, outsider in its attitude—has become one of the most original in contemporary poetry. Her latest collection takes its title, Modern Poetry, from the first textbook Seuss encountered as a child and the first poetry course she took in college, as an enrapt but ill-equipped student, one who felt poetry was beyond her reach. Many of the poems make use of the forms and terms of musical and poetic craft and contend with the works of writers overrepresented in textbooks and anthologies and those often underrepresented.

Emily Dickinson was one of the most reclusive of all poets. She spent much of her life in seclusion in her father’s house in Amherst, and only a handful of her 1800 poems were published in her lifetime. Credit for the posthumous publication of her work must be given to her editor and friend Thomas W. Higginson, who reported that, in spite of the voluminous correspondence which passed between himself and Dickinson, he only met her twice in person.

Story
Rausch, Schmerz, Sucht – Georg Trakls Leben war geprägt von Extremzuständen und existenziellen Krisen. Dennoch erschuf der österreichische Lyriker und Expressionist in seinen gerade einmal 27 Jahren ein außergewöhnliches und beeindruckendes Werk, das bis heute nachhallt. 32 Schauspieler:innen, darunter Tobias Moretti, Paula Beer, Albrecht Schuch, Hannah Herzsprung, Max von der Groeben, Karoline Schuch u. v. a., interpretieren Trakls Gedichte auf vielstimmige Weise und erzeugen so, eingebettet in ein extra für diese Produktion geschaffenes Soundkonzept, einen ganz eigenen Trakl-Sound.

Story
In this arresting collection, The Cyborg Jillian Weise navigates the intersection of disability and desire, wending her way through diners, bars, and dark living rooms lit by TV screens. Her words flit in and out of DMs, texts, and video chats, exploring the vital human thread that runs through the machines mediating our existence. Weaving personal narrative with cultural commentary and lyricism, these poems blur the line between flesh and technology, centering disabled and queer bodies and challenging our preconceptions of everything from opiate use to BDSM.

Cass Donish courageously summons the poems to witness their own state of “obliteration,” widowed by suicide and isolated as a global pandemic is unfolding. Elegizing their partner, the poet Kelly Caldwell, they insist that the intimate, ongoing conversation with a beloved mysteriously continues after loss. With searing vulnerability and profound perceptiveness, Donish finds a fierce new aesthetic for the disorientation of grief.

Voces vibrantes en la celebración de la palabra y el deseo. Lo queer supone una respuesta amplia a los roles de género tradicionales del universo heteropatriarcal. Como la literatura se alimenta de la identidad personal, la escritura queer refleja la experiencia autobiográfica y el pensamiento crítico del autor queer, nuevas vías que abren fugas al patriarcado global.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando. "La poesía tiene una sola realidad: el sufrimiento". Es "una enfermedad de la conciencia, un rezago / de tiempos anteriores a los nuestros", "precio que algunos pagan / por no saber vivir" o, por el contrario, por pretender vivir demasiado "puliendo, desgastando un idioma ya seco", para "hacer que brote el agua en el desierto" y que las palabras se interpongan en la desesperada marcha del tiempo.

Some things are meant to be said once; other things are meant to be repeated. Most things are too retractable to designate the source. “Don’t quote me on that” is a phrase that implies blame is inevitable. “Don’t quote me on that” is a request not to be held liable for the entirety of an intellectual thought. This commonly used phrase exists because brash perspective needs protecting to allow space for what needs to be spoken while leaving the source out of the outcome.
