Poème épique de l’Antiquité, L’Odyssée s’ouvre par l’invocation à la Muse et chante les maux innombrables du divin Ulysse, en proie aux longues épreuves du retour depuis la ville sacrée de Troie. Aux prises avec la faveur et la colère des dieux, il lutte pour sa vie et pour celle de ses compagnons—les imprudents dont l’offense faite aux génisses saintes du Soleil leur ravit le jour du retour.

Chef-d’œuvre épique du XVIIe siècle, Le Paradis Perdu de John Milton déploie, en vers amples et solennels, une méditation vertigineuse sur la tentation, le péché et la rédemption. À l’échelle du cosmos comme au cœur de l’âme, la parole poétique scrute la grandeur et la fragilité humaines, entre épreuve, faute et espérance.

The poems in Leaked Footages carry urgent subjects, ranging from death to disappearance to grief to memory. Not only do the poems fulfill the tradition of witnessing often manifested in contemporary poets such as Garous Abdolmalekian and Ilya Kaminsky, but they extend that tradition by the medium through which they witness: the technical and the technological.

The human senses, though finely tuned to observe, cannot comprehend the vastness of life. To go beyond our limitations, we must experience the world through feeling. Using striking imagery that cuts to the heart, Tributaries: A Book of Poetry deftly describes the wonders of the universe—from a fledgling bird to the unfathomable cosmic ocean above.

À l’arrière-saison, un chevalier quitte sa maison, seul, en proie aux pensées. La nature se défait—feuilles, fleurs, odeurs—tout tend à froideur et à neige. À l’écoute d’un propos de vérité, il mesure l’enfance passée, la jeunesse dépensée, l’honneur et la grâce divine. Composé à l’ombre d’un deuil—la mort du duc de Bourgogne, trépassé devant Nancy en Lorraine—ce poème méditatif interroge la gloire qui s’éteint, la vanité des choses et la constance des âmes. Une élégie chevaleresque, grave et sobre, où le temps et la mémoire conduisent vers une ferme résolution.

Par un minuit lugubre, un esprit las veille sur d’anciens volumes quand un léger heurt à la porte trouble le silence. Bientôt, un corbeau ténébreux s’installe et, avec un refrain implacable, pousse le narrateur au bord de l’obsession. Chambre close, décembre âpre, souvenirs d’un amour perdu: tout conspire à faire monter la fièvre du doute et du deuil. Chef-d’œuvre de l’imaginaire romantique, ce poème allie cadence hypnotique et atmosphère funèbre.

Love is rarely a straight path. It stumbles, it soars, it aches, it heals. In Can I Say I Loved Her?, P. Pierre and YOA trace the fragile beauty of longing, desire, hope, and heartbreak through poems that are both intimate and universal. Like watercolor wings pressed against the page, each verse moves between vulnerability and strength, between love lost and love remembered.

Nestes poemas, Fabrício Corsaletti vai a São Sebastião das Três Orelhas, povoado na Serra da Mantiqueira, e passa os dias observando a paisagem, as montanhas, os vales, os ipês. Lá ele ouve as araucárias e os insetos, evocando uma espécie de locus amoenus, mas sem perder o humor e o lirismo que marcam sua poesia.

A 2024 Best Book Awards Winner for Urban Poetry, and Finalist in both the Narrative and Contemporary Poetry categories, The Cabin at the End of the World is Douglas Cole’s first poetry collection to explore the prose poem. Inspired by Charles Baudelaire, Octavio Paz, Claudia Rankine and James Wright, Cole tells a tale of the world in fragmentary, dreamlike poems rich in musical language that retains a mystery bringing listeners back again. If the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon, then these poems are visions wrought in moonlight.

Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal, when the world emerges from the slumber of winter and blossoms into a tapestry of vibrant colors and sweet scents. The air is filled with the fragrance of fresh blooms and the sweet aroma of freshly cut grass, as nature awakens from its hibernation and comes to life once again. The beauty of spring is not just in its stunning visuals and intoxicating scents, but also in the feeling of hope and new beginnings that it brings.

Vivimos en cambio constante, con miedo a decir «te quiero» por las consecuencias que podría traer. Pero debemos arriesgarnos, tenemos que perdernos para poder encontrarnos, aprender del daño y seguir soñando. Quiere, quiere mucho. Pero nunca te olvides de quererte a ti. Cuando Manu Erena empezó a escribir poesía en sus cuadernos, no podía imaginar que se convertiría en un fenómeno de ventas gracias a la publicación de su primer libro, Consecuencias de decir te quiero, con el que ha llegado a lo más alto de las listas de best sellers.

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways

To describe This Made Me Think Of You would be to describe love... nearly impossible in one short description, especially to someone who hasn't read/experienced it. So we'll end here with one short message: Discovering love is a beautiful journey. Sharing it and remembering it during the chaos of life—that's where true magic lies.

A. H. Jerriod Avant’s debut collection, Muscadine, cultivates the vine of familial memory, eulogizing our collective losses while exalting the succor of this human life, how the native grape’s “thick skin [that] teeth / pierce breaks to pour // sweetly across the tongue.” Throughout, a deeply Southern sensibility balances an environmental awareness of deficit and bounty—appetite pains the stomach and delights the palette.

Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts & Poems explores not only Madsen's remarkable life and experiences in and out of Hollywood, but also his familial influences that have participated in crafting and shaping him, including thoughts on his father; his mother and the rumor that he was born without a left hand; ghosts, whiskey, and payback; Robert Mitchum, James Cagney, and "sensitive sons of bitches"; the mentality of actors and growing up to be a man; his first audition; drunken behavior; epic drinkers; and much, much more.
