Sinopse

Dorothy Parker's "Enough Rope" is a seminal collection of poetry that deftly captures the wit, cynicism, and emotional depth characteristic of her literary style. Published in 1926, this compilation encompasses a range of themes, including love, disillusionment, and the complexities of the human experience. Parker's sharp, acerbic verses are marked by their brevity and precision, revealing an adept play with language that resonates with the modernist movement of her time. Through her incisive observations of societal conventions and personal malaise, Parker presents a poignant critique of the roaring twenties' superficiality and the often melancholic undercurrents of urban life. Parker, a central figure of the Algonquin Round Table, was renowned for her sharp intellect and cutting humor, traits that permeate her writing. Her experiences as a journalist and social commentator, alongside her tumultuous personal life, informed her poetic voice'Äîimbuing her work with both a sense of irony and deep emotional resonance. The struggles faced by women in the early 20th century prominently influence her exploration of relationships, making her work timelessly relevant. "Enough Rope" is essential reading for those who appreciate the evolution of American poetry and the indelible impact of feminist thought. Parker's unique ability to blend humor with pathos invites readers to navigate their own reflections on love and loss, making this collection a transformative literary experience.

Knife Sharpener – Selected Poems is a posthumous commemoration and celebration of Sargon Boulus, in a collection of poems, written between 1991 and 2007 that he translated himself, together with an essay, "Poetry and Memory", written a few months before he died in October 2007.
With a Foreword by Adonis and an Introduction by Dublin poet and publisher Pat Boran, the volume includes nine pages of photographs and tributes from fellow poets and writers Saadi Youssef, Ounsi El-Hage, Amjad Nasser, Abbas Beydhoun, Abdo Wazen, Fadhil al-Azzawi, Kadhim Jihad Hassan, Khalid al-Maaly, and Elias Khoury, assembled and translated by fellow Iraqi poet Sinan Antoon, who described his death as leaving "a gaping wound in the heart of modern Arabic poetry".
"Sargon seemed to feel also the even greater, historical weight of conflicts, tensions, misunderstandings and oppressions of the spirit, as if his poems came through his own time and language but from somewhere else." – Pat Boran
Sargon Boulus was unusually influential among young Arab poets, who "found in him the father who refused to practise his patriarchy and a poet who always renewed himself in his rebellion against rhetoric . . ." Abdo Wazen

‘Talisman for the Soul’ is an immersive and illuminating collection that expresses a powerful intensity of emotion, exploring overarching themes of human interaction, as well as the human need to transform and adapt as individuals. Written by a poet of rare descriptive power, the poems speak to a world of increasing disconnection, one that is careering towards climate breakdown and ecological destruction. The poems seek to reconnect with the mystery and sacredness of human life by exploring the foundations of human identity through themes that touch us all: love and loss, humour, beauty, joy, relationships, and the natural world.
