Synopsis

Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy (Complete Edition)' is a monumental epic poem, masterfully woven in the early 14th century, which uniquely interlaces allegory, theology, and rich cultural commentary. Comprising three canticas'ÄîInferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso'Äîthe work takes the reader on a transformative journey through the realms of the afterlife. Dante's use of the vernacular Tuscan dialect, coupled with intricate symbolism and vivid imagery, makes the text not only an impressive literary achievement but also a profound exploration of moral philosophy and the human condition, set against the backdrop of medieval Christianity and politics. Dante, an influential figure of the Italian Renaissance, drew upon his personal experiences, including his exile from Florence, as well as the political and social tumult of his time. His profound knowledge of classical authors and his deep Christian faith converge in this work, which reflects his desire for spiritual redemption and understanding of divine justice. Dante'Äôs innovative narrative techniques, along with his intellectual and emotional depth, showcase his mastery as both a poet and a philosopher. Highly recommended for those intrigued by the intersections of faith, philosophy, and literature, 'Divine Comedy' transcends its historical context, addressing timeless themes of love, justice, and human aspirations. This complete edition invites readers to experience not only the poetic journey of Dante himself but also to reflect on their own spiritual quests and moral dilemmas.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.

For centuries England has always had a leading and admired reputation for its poets and poetry.  In this volume we explore those born in the West Midlands who created such revered, enduring and respected verse.

    A suite of poems about a percussionist in 1970 Spanish Harlem music circles, from the author of The Crazy Bunch 
  
A National Book Critics Circle 2014 Finalist for Poetry 
  
Through dream song and elegy, alternate takes and tempos, prizewinning poet Willie Perdomo’s third collection crackles with vitality and dynamism as it imagines the life of a percussionist, rebuilding the landscape of his apprenticeship, love, diaspora, and death. At the beginning of his infernal journey, Shorty Bon Bon recalls his live studio recording with a classic 1970s descarga band, sharing his recollection with an unidentified poet. This opening section is followed by a call-and-response with his greatest love, a singer named Rose, and a visit to Puerto Rico that inhabits a surreal nationalistic dreamscape, before a final jam session where Shorty recognizes his end and a trio of voices seek to converge on his elegy. 
  
“A vivid portrait of a late-20th century Nuyorican musical community … Perdomo manages to mix the language of city life with a sense of the transcendent.”—NPR.org

    In Self-Portrait With Family, Amaan Hyder traces a personal history of family and queerness. With poems that focus on coming out, the collection depicts the relationship between a son and his parents, and an immigrant family and its community in the diaspora. Featuring snapshots of conversations across dinner tables and phone lines, Hyder's striking and beautifully precise poems bring into relief what is said and not said, the retreat from speech and the longing to hear from another.
By turns tender and skilfully observed, this collection also looks from the family home to the individual experience of the brown queer man in public spaces, searching for intimate connection whilst experiencing discrimination. Self-Portrait With Family distinctively frames such narratives of closeness and distance, exploring a range of poetic forms to draw together intergenerational familial and gay relationships, English and Urdu, the world of the family home and the world outside of it.
