Sinopsis

First published in 1985, when Daniel Jones was just 26, The Brave Never Write Poetry, the poet/critic/novelist's lone collection of poems, was a cult hit, turning 'poetry' on its head before its author (then known simply as 'Jones') swore off verse entirely. Written in a direct, plainspoken, autobiographical and at times confessional style in the tradition of Charles Bukowski and Al Purdy, these confrontational poems about sex and boredom, drugs and suicide, document Jones' depressive, alcoholic years as an enfant terrible.
  
   
This long-overdue revised edition brings Jones' unforgettable voice to a new generation of readers and includes the complete text of the original collection (including Jones' own sardonic assessments of his own poetry), a new preface by poet/critic Kevin Connolly, and postscript commentary from many of Jones' closest friends and literary colleagues.
Disponible desde: 22/09/2011.
Longitud de impresión: 104 páginas.

    In her first book, poet Havva Ramadan explores the pain of grief, the struggle of mental health, and the journey we all must take to collect our pieces and rebuild ourselves once again. 
    With a mix of her most widely loved poems and previously unpublished material, A Voice, narrated by the author herself, is a beautiful collection of Havva's work that shows her deeply personal and relatable journey. Havva’s words are a light in the darkness for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength and turn their pain into power. 
    And should they stop loving you one day 
    I hope you know that it was nothing to do with your 
    capacity to be loved but their own capacity to live up to 
    the expectations they had built within the love they had 
    displayed unto you. 
    I hope you know that it does not make you unlovable, it 
    just means that this love is no more 
    but that you will be more without it. 
    POWERFUL POEMS: Havva’s evocative poetry offers validation and encouragement for anyone struggling to find their own inner strength. 
    HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE: The honest, thoughtful, and inspirational reflections in A Voice will resonate with readers of all ages and genders. 
    AFFIRMING AND UPLIFTING: Havva writes with vulnerability, grappling with heavy subjects such as abuse, violence, grief, and death, while remaining uplifting and affirming. 
    SOCIAL MEDIA SENSATION: With a million followers across her TikTok and Instagram accounts—including celebrities such as Khloe Kardashian, Annie Lennox, and Alison Hammond—Havva Ramadan’s unique and compelling poetic voice has captured the attention and heart of people around the world.

    'The sky belongs to everybody and everybody belongs to the sky.
    When the genie comes out, wish for late busesand missed trains, and beers on benches,because when someone is gone, they are gone.'
    Kareem Parkins-Brown's highly-anticipated pamphlet is an audacious and richly plural celebration of friends and selves, present and otherwise. In Parkins-Brown's hands, language bends like an illusionist's spoon – a dazzling, fisheye-lens distortion of daily grief, absurdity and communion – while reminding us always that the trick is to carry on living.
    'Kareem Parkins-Brown's excellent pamphlet is like a funeral held in a bouncy castle: the line-breaks slip on their own tears, jumping mourners get bruised by their collisions and the laughing starts to sound a lot like crying.' Caroline Bird
    'I have been waiting for this book for years. There's no voice like Kareem Parkin-Brown's. Sacred and profane, these are critical, kinetic poems for, and of, right now.' Rachel Long
    'Kareem Parkins-Brown is one of the most beloved wordsmiths on the London poetry circuit. 'Oi You Lot' will show its readers why.' Raymond Antrobus

    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 better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore poets from the West, whose familiar names gave birth to a movement which has given us all so much.  Their verse on love, romance and the feelings and emotions that impact us all on each and every day provide joy, wonder and beauty to our lives.
