Set in three sections, Robert Wood Lynn explores interior uncertainty, interpersonal uncertainty and uncertainty at a larger scale. These narrative poems, influenced by storytelling traditions, find themselves at the nexus of the intimate and the humorous, as well as the absurd and the tragic. These poems examine isolation and grief in their many forms—through heartbreak or the death of loved ones, or show us the world looking back at itself after it ends.

Whether we're tumbling with Katz in a field of yellow flowers with a group of long-haired young people what seems only a moment (but is really four decades) ago or doing yoga right now, looking out a sliver of window at moving clouds, this collection evokes the exact scenes and buzz of perception that command our daily thoughts, that usher in grace and beauty, with their quietly urgent moral qualities, which, Katz suggests, can shape our days if we allow them to.

Useful Junk includes a series of poem-letters that began as a digital correspondence between the author (a Gen-X English professor in rural Virginia with two kids) and a young writer (a Millennial former tech industry worker in New York coming to terms with her queer identity after a recent miscarriage).

Tonight on Television, a book of poetry, goes to the heart of the matter—the creation of the pedophile—and proposes stopping the process where it starts, which is in caring for infants and toddlers. It employs the ideal of oneness and non-duality instead of the formula of crime and punishment. In dealing with that, how it addresses the whole issue, paying particular attention to the hatred of the pedophile and the damage that does to society, which is not only the proliferation of child sex abuse, which, it must be said, the poem aims to stop.

Written after two years of artistic silence, during which the world came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Minneapolis became the epicentre of protest following the murder of George Floyd, Bluff is Danez Smith’s powerful reckoning with their role and responsibility as a poet and with their hometown.

In this particular collection, I present to you a few of the secrets and stories that are whispered by the wind.

All one has to do is slow down, take a deep breath, and listen…

With A Year of Last Things, acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje returns to poetry, where he began his career over fifty years ago, and what a return it is. Born in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived here since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world – describing himself as a “mongrel,” someone born out of diverse cultures.

Featuring both Ak’abal’s Spanish translations from the indigenous K’iche’ and English translations by acclaimed poet Michael Bazzett, this collection blossoms from the landscape of Momostenango—mountains covered in cloud forest, deep ravines, terraced fields of maize. Ak’abal’s unpretentious verse models a contraconquista—counter-conquest—perspective, one that resists the impulse to impose meaning on the world and encourages us to receive it instead.

In the cold seminal countryside of eastern Washington, a boy puts a bullet through his skull in a high school parking lot. An uncle crushes oxycodone into “a thousand red granules.” Hawks wheel above a dark, indifferent river. “I left that town / forever,” Holbert writes, but its bruises appear everywhere, in dreams of violent men and small stars, the ghosts of friends and pills. These poems incite a complex emotional discourse on what it means to leave—if it’s ever actually possible, or if our roots only grow longer to accommodate the distance.

El poeta en El silencio del bambú nos ofrece un recorrido por los instantes cazados, por el crisol de amaneceres, bajo la luz de una farola, en en el que forja su canto el poeta rey cabra, el poeta samurái, el poeta maestro del eco en otro ejercicio de condensación, del suceso, el momento y el lugar donde calla la vida sobre la cuerda floja del tiempo.

Forrest Gump cambia el banco por una playa de Chipiona, y la caja de bombones por una de fresones. La metáfora sigue funcionando. Nunca sabes lo que te vas a encontrar. Aunque los fresones pueden parecer los mimos, a nadie le saben igual, ni el desfile de homenajes, empezando por Juan Ramón Jiménez, sonará igual a quien se adentre en La efervescencia de la aspirina, en Todas las veces que no he podido ir a Cádiz, en El nombre exacto de las fosas, y en La vida cotidiana. Como decía Yasunari Kawabata, en Lo bello y lo triste, uno no puede sentarse a esperar el pasado; el tiempo y los ...

Una sucesión de ausencias, y de epifanías, centran este poemario en el que se desgranan, a partir de las luces y espacios compartidos, las voces y los ecos, la cabra y la intemperie, algunas ráfagas de temblor, de relámpago, de pálpito de lo sencillo en el regalo diario de la vida, la amistad y la esperanza. Proteger el amor pese al dolor, y las formas secretas de la felicidad, con la cabra simbólica que brinca entre los abrazos que anhelamos dar, y los abrazos que anhelamos recibir. Siempre con la vista puesta, en el salto, en un mundo que, para bien, mejore el que aún vivimos.

Cerezas y mordiscos 70 poemas, que cierran el reto de publicar una obra distinta, cada mes, durante el mismo año, que antes no hubiera existido como tal. El poemario está dividido en tres partes: Roturas; El temblor tras el golpe; y Lo único que sabemos. Es un canto a gozar del instante, a recordar la intensidad de las cerezas, y de los mordiscos, que giran el mundo, y nos permiten girar dentro de él. Un recuerdo para quienes merecen que no olvides, y para quienes quieren sentir algo más que palabras. Una sorpresa constante para huir de los vacíos, y descubrir la madriguera del conejo...
