Summary

Amy Lowell'Äôs 'Can Grande's Castle' is a pivotal collection of free verse poems that showcases her mastery of Imagism'Äîa movement characterized by precision of imagery and clear, concise language. The work is infused with Lowell'Äôs deep appreciation for nature and her explorations of emotional landscapes, reflecting her innovative approach to poetic form in the early 20th century. The collection employs vivid imagery and sensory detail, prompting readers to engage intimately with the beauty and complexity of the world around them, while also offering profound insights into the human experience. As a prominent American poet of the early 1900s, Amy Lowell was a leading figure in the Imagist movement, advocating for a modern approach to poetry that emphasized clarity and emotional resonance. Her extensive travels in Europe and her exposure to various cultures significantly shaped her artistic perspective, allowing her to explore diverse themes in her work. Lowell's unique position as a female poet in a male-dominated literary landscape further fueled her desire to challenge conventional norms and assert her voice, which is vividly felt throughout this collection. 'Can Grande's Castle' is a compelling read for both enthusiasts of modern poetry and neophytes seeking to understand 20th-century literature. Lowell'Äôs lyrical brilliance and innovative style invite introspection and a renewed appreciation for the subtleties of nature and emotion. This collection is a testament to the enduring power of imagery in poetry and is highly recommended for anyone interested in the evolution of literary art.

    A new collection by Sean O’Brien – ‘Auden’s true inheritor’, and one of our wisest poetic chronographers – is not just a literary event, but also, invariably, a reckoning of the times. Given the nature of our times, his voice is an essential one: there is no other poet currently writing with O’Brien’s intellectual authority, historical literacy and sheer command of the facts. Embark also registers our unique cultural climacteric, where the larger crises of the planet – the pandemic and the terrifying spectre of revanchist nationalism among them – impact all of us, and where the illusion of a church-and-state separation of the personal and political can no longer hold. As the poet turns seventy, he shows us how the inevitable absences that age brings are assuaged by how we furnish them; the result is not just a logic made from loss and pain, but a music, a metaphysic, and finally a redemptive art. Embark reminds us of the enduring consolations of love, of friendship, of the freedoms and possible futures still afforded by the imagination – and, through O’Brien’s own exemplary model, of poetry itself.

    An exquisite, lyrical reimagining of Wittgenstein's philosophical work of 1922, from a rising star on par with Inger Christensen
    Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, often noted as the most important philosophical work of the 20th century, had a broad goal: to identify the relationship between language and reality, and to define the limits of science.
    Following on from Wittgenstein 100 years later, Signe Gjessing updates and reimagines the Tractatus, marrying poetry with philosophy to test the boundaries of reality. Stunning, knowing, and revitalising, and glinting with stars, silk, and ecstasy, this is poetry which exacts the logical consequence of philosophy, while locating beauty and significance in the nonsense of the world.
