Cheng Him’s explosive debut poetry collection is a narrative-in-poems exploring the inner psyche of the mythical Singaporean Ah Seng, made prismatic through the lens of Buddhism and mid-2010s clubbing fervour. From the tumultuous days of his childhood to the wayward hurricane of his youth, Boh Beh Zhao charts the trajectory of someone wandering through life as though it has no beginning or conceivable end, and plots his eventual landing into the barren fields of the latter. Hop onboard Ah Seng’s chaotic journey and ask yourself: what does it mean to live life so fast that all else seems to stand still?Zum Buch
A powerful and poignant translation of Vergil’s epic poem, newly equipped with introduction and notes "Ruden set the bar for Aeneid translations in 2008, and has raised it now with this revision. I am confident it will be a long time before a translator exceeds the standard that she has set."—A.M. Juster, Athenaeum Review This is a substantial revision of Sarah Ruden’s celebrated 2008 translation of Vergil’s Aeneid, which was acclaimed by Garry Wills as “the first translation since Dryden’s that can be read as a great English poem in itself.” Ruden’s line-for-line translation in iambic pentameter is an astonishing feat, unique among modern translations. Her revisions to the translation render the poetry more spare and muscular than her previous version and capture even more closely the essence of Vergil’s poem, which pits national destiny against the fates of individuals, and which resonates deeply in our own time. This distinguished translation, now equipped with introduction, notes, and glossary by leading Vergil scholar Susanna Braund, allows modern readers to experience for themselves the timeless power of Vergil’s masterpiece. Praise for the First Edition: “Fast, clean, and clear, sometimes terribly clever, and often strikingly beautiful. . . . Many human achievements deserve our praise, and this excellent translation is certainly one of them.”—Richard Garner, The New Criterion “Toning down the magniloquence, Sarah Ruden gives us an Aeneid more intimate in tone and soberer in measure than we are used to—a gift for which many will be grateful.”—J. M. Coetzee “An intimate rendering of great emotional force and purity. . . . The immediacy, beauty, and timelessness of the original Latin masterpiece lift off these pages with gem-like originality.”—ChoiceZum Buch

Fragment of My Madness: A Symphony of Words and Surrealism "I once held dreams and aspirations... but there was no genie within the lamp to grant them, so I crafted these words instead, to be a light." Fragment of My Madness is not merely a book of poetry; it is a profound visual and emotional journey that bridges the gap between the spoken word and the silent canvas. In this unique journey, Yousef invites you into the world of "Adam," a soul navigating the storms of fate, loss, and longing. While the title suggests a descent into "madness," it is actually a climb toward the light. Through a mesmerizing blend of Surrealist Art and evocative verses, the author uses the symbolism of the Lantern to illuminate the shadows of a shattered soul. Here, "madness" is the only logical response to a world that defies reason, and the "Lantern" is the faith that guides the traveler back to peace. From the "French Perfume" of a memory to the "Final Moments" on a hospital bed, each page is a heartbeat. The surrealist illustrations act as a window into a subconscious that refused to be silenced, turning pain into a creative rebellion. Whether you are drawn to the depth of modern Arabic literature or the haunting beauty of surrealist imagery, this book offers a sanctuary for the soulful. It is a testament that while the traveler may depart, the light he carried and the music he played remain eternal. Narrated by the author himself, this audiobook adds a raw, personal dimension to the verses, making every heartbeat audible. Experience a journey where "Madness" becomes a Lantern, and the heart sees what the eyes cannot.Zum Buch
Gold Winner, Lyric Prose or Hybrid Works, Nautilus Book Awards“Within each of us is a divine treasure, and if we hope to discover it, we need to go deep into the heart of who we are.” —Meister Eckhart Meister Eckhart has been a huge figure in spirituality for more than eight hundred years—spiritual leaders such as Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, and Matthew Fox have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought. This book of Meister Eckhart meditations is for people seeking the “wayless way.” It is not for those looking for a simple path. These fresh, stunning renderings of Eckhart’s writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness. Not darkness in general, but your darkness, because it is the one thing you know something about—without facing your darkness, you’ll never know what it means to desire the light. Only when you are in the darkness, Meister says, do you have even the possibility of seeing the light. “What Coleman Barks has done for Rumi, Sweeney and Burrows have done for Eckhart—making his insight accessible and his wisdom sing.” —Carl McColman, author of The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Eternal Heart “Sweeney and Burrows, in poems that are as elegant as they are scholarly, revoice Meister Eckhart’s grounding and expansive instructions to ‘seek the light that shines / out of the darkness.’” —Pádraig Ó Tuama, poet and host of Poetry Unbound, from On Being StudiosZum Buch
