Sinopsis

In "Songs of Two Nations," Algernon Charles Swinburne constructs a poignant poetic narrative that explores the themes of national identity and the complexities of imperialism within the socio-political context of the late 19th century. Through rich imagery and a lyrical style that seamlessly weaves together passion and melancholy, Swinburne delves into the contrasting ideals of England and the nascent American Republic. His work resonates with the Romantic tradition while simultaneously embracing the burgeoning modernist sensibilities, offering a multi-layered perspective on the interplay between liberty and oppression in a rapidly changing world. Swinburne, an enigmatic figure in Victorian literature, was deeply influenced by the turbulent politics of his time, including movements for social reform and the evolving relationship between Britain and its colonies. As a staunch advocate for artistic and personal freedom, Swinburne's defiance of conventional literary norms and candid engagement with controversial topics stem from his dedication to both art and justice, making him a voice of his generation. His dialogues with prominent thinkers, as well as his own experiences, undoubtedly shaped the themes he tackles in this collection. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of the juxtaposition of nations, alongside a captivating use of language, will find "Songs of Two Nations" indispensable. Swinburne's ability to synthesize emotion and intellect creates an enriching experience, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of liberty and the cultural tensions that still resonate today.

Peter Raynard's Manland is a bold, brilliant and outspoken new collection of poems that scrutinise men and manhood, mental health, working class lives and disability. Aloud and alive with music, wit, anger and rebellion, this is an accomplished, politically-aware and vital book.
Raynard is a skilled observer, and these razor-sharp poems document parenthood through the lens of a stay-at-home dad, attempt to tell the truth about men and depression, study our cultural, social and medical relationships with drugs and drug-taking, and lay bare the realities of life at the sharpest edges of society. By turns frank, painful and bleakly funny, this humane and brilliant book encompasses pride and prejudices, the bonds between lads and dads, the toxic pressures of masculinity and the way illness and poverty irrevocably shape lives.

The award-winning, genre-crossing writer demonstrates her power as a funkadelic and formidable feminist voice in this rich and beautiful collection of verse and image—a multi-part retrospective that traverses time, space, and reality to illuminate the expansiveness of Black femme lives. 
Voted one of the Best Books of 2023 by the New York Public Library. 
Side Notes from the Archivist is a preservation of Black culture viewed through a feminist lens. The Archivist leads readers through poems that epitomize youthful renditions of a Black girl coming of age in Philadelphia’s pre-funk ’80s; episodic adventures of “the Black Girl” whose life is depicted through the white gaze; and selections of verse evincing affection for self and testimony to the magnificence within Black femme culture at-large. 
Every poem in Side Notes elevates and honestly illustrates the buoyancy of Blackness and the calamity of Black lives on earth. In her uniquely embracing and experimental style, Anastacia-Reneé documents these truths as celebrations of diverse subjects, from Solid Gold to halal hotdogs; as homages and reflections on iconic images, from Marsha P. Johnson to Aunt Jemima; and as critiques of systemic oppression forcing some to countdown their last heartbeat. 
From internet “Fame” to the toxicity of the white gaze, Side Notes from the Archivist cements Anastacia-Reneé role as a leading light in the womanist movement—an artist whose work is in conversation with advocates of Black culture and thought such as Audre Lorde, Amiri Baraka, and Nikki Giovanni.

A poetic collage of art in the modern world: from Rilkean elegies for an iPhone to a meditation on Melville's classic
Jonathan Ball's fourth poetry book, the first in seven years, swirls chaos and confession together. At the book's heart is a question: Why create art? A series of poetic sequences torment themselves over this question, offering few answers and taking fewer prisoners. Loose sonnets that consider the artistic creations of Leatherface, monster-killer from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, sit alongside Rilkean elegies for an iPhone. Surreal meditations on the collage work of Guy Maddin are followed by all of the lines from Melville's Moby-Dick that mention "salt." Politicians and painters jostle while absurdist humour crashes into stark admissions of vulnerability in the wake of having children. A startling diversity of styles and subjects feed into the maelstrom of The National Gallery, and its dark currents will draw you in to drown.
