  Concerned with questions of aging and mortality, A Second Space furthers 93-year-old Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz’s reputation as “arguably the greatest living poet” (Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review). 
  “Milosz continues exploring his own version of the meditative lyric, refusing to rest on his laurels…. Consequently, he joins the ranks of other great poets of old age, such as Robert Penn Warren and W. B. Yeats himself.”—The New York Times Book Review 
  A SECOND SPACE 
  How spacious are the heavenly halls! 
  Approach them on aerial stairs. 
  Above white clouds, there are the hanging gardens of paradise. 
  A soul detaches itself from the body and soars. 
  It remembers that there is an up and a down. 
  Have we really lost faith in the second space? 
  And they’ve dissolved, disappeared, both heaven and hell? 
  Without unearthly meadows how to meet salvation? 
  And where will an association of the damned fill its abode? 
  Let us weep, lament the enormity of the loss. 
  Let us smear our faces with coal, loosen our hair. 
  Let us inplore that it be returned to us, 
  That second space.

  Sound Poetry: History and Developments of a Poetic Vanguard investigates the evolution of sound poetry as a radical, transdisciplinary literary form. Drawing from a dissertation originally presented at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), this revised English edition deepens the discussion on the aesthetic and political implications of sound in poetic creation. The book includes interviews with poets and scholars from Brazil and abroad and examines the work of key avant-garde practitioners.A central reference throughout the study is the pioneering theoretical framework of Brazilian poet and researcher Philadelpho Menezes. His vision of intersemiotic and performative poetics significantly shapes the analysis. While the original Portuguese edition (2009) included a preface by Brazilian artist Wilton Azevedo, this English edition is introduced by renowned Italian sound poet Enzo Minarelli. The translation includes more paraphrased passages for accessibility without compromising academic depth. Published by Dialética, this edition is available in print, digital, and audiovisual formats. The book is a key resource for readers, researchers, and artists interested in experimental poetry, performance, and the expanded possibilities of the poetic voice.

  The Poetry of Dante Gabriel...

  Dante Gabriel Rossetti

  Dante Gabriel Rossetti was born on May 12th 1828 in London, England. 
  As a youth he was "self-possessed, articulate, passionate and charismatic" but also "ardent, poetic and feckless". Like his siblings, including famed poet Christina Georgina Rossetti, he most wished to be a poet but had a keen eye as a painter, having shown a great interest in Medieval Italian art.  
  Together with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais they developed and founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It’s mission; to reform English art and return to the detail, intense colours, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian and Flemish art.  
  The brotherhood's magazine, The Germ, was first published in 1850 with Rossetti contributing a poem, "The Blessed Damozel", and a story about a fictional Italian artist inspired by a vision of a woman who bids him combine the human and the divine in his art. 
  Rossetti first met his future wife, Elizabeth Siddal, a model, in 1849 who was later sitting for him and involved in an intense relationship.  By 1852 they withdrew from society; totally absorbed in each other. The lovers nicknamed each other; "Guggums" and "Dove".   
  In 1861, Rossetti, together with William Morris, became a founding partner in the decorative arts firm, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. Rossetti contributed designs for stained glass and other decorative objects. 
  Meanwhile his marriage to Lizzie was troubled.  The terrible hurt of Rossetti’s affairs with other women had caused her stress leading to depression and other illnesses. She now began to take, and become addicted to, laudanum. In 1861, Lizzie became pregnant but the resultant birth was a stillborn daughter.  Lizzie’s post-partum depression was followed by an overdose of laudanum the following year.  Rossetti was devastated and, at her funeral in Highgate Cemetery, he buried the bulk of his unpublished poems with her body. 
  Poetry and painting are closely entwined in Rossetti's work. He frequently wrote sonnets to accompany his pictures, while also creating art to illustrate poems such as "Goblin Market" by his sister. 
  His personal life was closely woven into his work, especially his relationships with his models and muses.  William Morris’s wife, Jane, regularly sat for him during the next few years, and it was said she "consumed and obsessed him in paint, poetry, and life".  
  During these years, Rossetti was prevailed upon by friends to exhume his poems from his wife's grave which he eventually did, collating and publishing them in 1870.  Their eroticism and sensuality caused much offence. One, "Nuptial Sleep", described a couple falling asleep after sex. It was part of the sonnet sequence The House of Life, a complex series tracing the physical and spiritual development of an intimate relationship.  Rossetti described the sonnet form as a "moment's monument" and these were his crowning literary achievement.  
  Toward the end of his life, he sank into a morbid state, shadowed by addiction to chloral hydrate and increasing mental instability. He spent his last years as a recluse at Cheyne Walk and died on Easter Sunday, April 9th, 1882.

  "There is a powerful emotional undertow to these poems that springs from Mr. Vuong's sincerity and candor, and from his ability to capture specific moments in time with both photographic clarity and a sense of the evanescence of all earthly things." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

  In his haunting and fearless debut, Ocean Vuong walks a tightrope of historic and personal violences, creating an interrogation of the American body as a borderless space of both failure and triumph. At once vulnerable and redemptive, dreamlike and visceral, compassionate and unforgiving, these poems seek a myriad existence without forgetting the prerequisite of self-preservation in a world bent on extinguishing its othered voices. Vuong's poems show, through breath, cadence, and unrepentant enthrallment, that a gentle palm on a chest can calm the most necessary of hungers.
