Sinopse

In the unabridged edition of "Lamia," John Keats masterfully blends narrative and lyric poetry to explore themes of desire, illusion, and the nature of love. This narrative poem, inspired by classical mythology, intricately juxtaposes the enchanting beauty of Lamia, a serpent who transforms into a woman, against the harsh realities of human emotion and perception. Keats's rich imagery and sensuous language draw readers into a world where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur, reflecting the Romantic ideals of beauty and passion while also questioning the transient nature of love and the inevitability of disillusionment. John Keats, a central figure of the English Romantic movement, faced numerous personal tragedies, including the loss of loved ones and his own battle with illness, which shaped his worldview and artistry. His deep appreciation for nature and the human condition, combined with his classical influences, fueled the creation of "Lamia," encapsulating his struggle against the stark realities of life and the desire to find lasting beauty amidst suffering. Keats'Äôs poignant examination of love and longing reveals the complexities of human emotion in a way that continues to resonate with readers. This edition is essential for both scholars and enthusiasts of Romantic literature, offering a profound meditation on the intersections of love and reality. Readers interested in exploring the interplay of myth and personal experience, as well as the evocative musicality of Keats'Äôs verse, will find "Lamia" an enlightening and thought-provoking journey that invites reflection on the very essence of existence.

    Bitter Punch is Loh Guan Liang’s second collection of poetry. With a wry eye for the everyday and its often forgotten characters, Loh explores what it means to live and love in the city. Even as it depicts the tension between ourselves and the spaces we inhabit, Bitter Punch still seeks sweetness in life’s hard, bitter moments. 
     
    "At the heart of Bitter Punch is the passing of love. Loh Guan Liang has constructed a personal map of elegiac half-escapes although his book is also a love letter to the enigmatic city that has been sustaining him. These poems will haunt you with its cool detachment, its overthinking, and its sombre rhythm in search of connection through words."

    This is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of -female- American literature. 
    It is a carefully crafted selection of 150 poems, all of them 8 lines in length, which are presented face-to-face in pairs -one per author- and with matching themes. In this way, the reader can compare and enjoy the magic of these poets. 
    Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) is, without a doubt, one of the most renowned representatives of American Classic Poetry. Her poems and unique writing style, although largely unknown before her passing, have had a remarkable influence on American literature. 
    Sara Teasdale (1884 – 1933), on the other hand, was favored with success and recognition for her writing, having won the first edition of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Nevertheless, in more recent times she hasn’t enjoyed nearly as much recognition as Dickinson. 
    The 150 Poems in this collection are distributed in four themes:Of Love, Heartbreak and FaithOf Mother NatureOf Life and EmotionsOf Death 
    This is a wonderful gift for all poetry lovers, also available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats.

    The Field in Winter, the third collection of poetry by David Clarke, winner of the Michael Marks Award, elegantly reflects on memory, time, and the very particular landscape of loss, in a calendar of poems, a 'charm of words' that track and loop through seasons of nature and living.
    The relationship between the environment, the human body and the self takes centre stage here in poetry that is concerned with being in the world - senses alive to the detail of things, the trunk of a linden tree , the shock of cold water, the frenzy of bees and blossom. But these remarkable poems also write towards the intangible in the late summer's dusk – an empty cage, a bird flown; history's slow grind and echo. Clarke's elegies reach out to touch what passes us fleetingly in a moment of time – 'before the tongue can catch them' – held for that second, precious, in his poised and finely weighted poetry.
