  Byways - fiction and poetry on foot

  Cherry Potts

  Byways, an anthology of stories and poems from across the UK and elsewhere, exploring the urban shortcuts, well-trodden meanders, ancient pathways, hillside and field paths. The public and the secret ways that take us away from the crowds and out of our vehicles. Mainly in English but including a handful of poems in Welsh (with translation), join us off the beaten track.
  Arachne Press has a track record (pun intended) of publishing what academics call psychogeography, but we call well-routed. We also have history with climate concern. We combine the two here, offering drama and solace from experiencing the world at the slow pace of a walk, whether the short cut to the chippy, or an all day hike in the hills.
  with contributions from Adele Evershed, Amelia Foster, Angela Arnold, Annemarie Cooper, Annie Kissack, Attalea Rose, Cath Humphris, Des Mannay, Diana Powell, Eabhan Ní Shuileabháin, Em Gray, Gloria Heffernan, Gregory McGreevy, Gwyn Parry, Heather Lane, Helen Campbell, Jane McLaughlin, Jeff Phelps, Jonah Corren, Josie Levin, Judith Mikesch-McKenzie, Katie Harrison, Katie Margaret Hall, Kelly Davis, Laura Besley, Lisa Farrell, Lizzie Lovejoy, Mab Jones, Maddison Price, Marcus Smith, Michael Shann, Michelle Penn, Mitzi Dorton, Nicholas McGaughey, Phil Wood, Raymond Luczak, Rhys Owain Williams, Ros Woolner, Sara Louise Wheeler, Seth Crook, Simon Chandler, Sue Burge Sue Moules and Thea Smiley

  Poet in the New World - Poems...

  Czeslaw Milosz

  A new collection of work from Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz that includes previously untranslated poems written during his time in Washington, D.C., and his years in Europe before and after 
  One of the most revered poets of the twentieth century, Czeslaw Milosz famously bore witness to its violence in his native Poland and in the war’s aftermath from exile in Europe and the United States. Immediately after the war, he lived in Washington, D.C., working as a diplomatic official, having left behind an old world stained by bloodshed and still in the throes of ideological conflict as he sought to find his bearings in a new world. 
  Poet in the New World gathers the poems written during these years—for the first time in English translation—and is contextualized by the poetry that came directly before and after, from poems written in Warsaw in 1945, shortly before he departed for the United States, to others written in Europe from 1951 to 1953, after his significant time away. Capturing Milosz at his existential and stylistic best, Poet in the New World is attuned to the necessity of imagination and the duty of language and is filled with wonder and skepticism. Milosz grapples with the extraordinary violence he had witnessed in Warsaw and the strange postwar United States he has inhabited, all while pondering the enduring fate of his beloved Poland. In the poem “Warsaw,” the poet asks, “How can I live in this country/Where the foot knocks against/the unburied bones of kin?” 
  Equal parts affecting and illuminating, Poet in the New World is an essential addition to the Milosz canon, in a beautifully rendered translation by Robert Hass and David Frick, that reverberates with the questions of histories past, present, and future.

  This celebratory anthology explores human connection through forty-four poems curated by Pádraig Ó Tuama, the host of On Being's Poetry Unbound podcast. 
   
   
   
  44 Poems on Being with Each Other is a new volume that offers immersive reflections on the human connection. With an observant eye, Pádraig Ó Tuama shares an enlightening meditation on each poem, revealing the ways we relate to each other, the world around us, and ourselves. Among the selections, Ó Tuama examines friendship and its loss through Langston Hughes's "I Loved My Friend," changing familial bonds in Rita Dove's "Eurydice, Turning," the relationship with the past in Mary Oliver's "The Uses of Sorrow," the power of declaration in Lucille Clifton's "Won't You Celebrate with Me," and the necessity of connection to land in Joy Harjo's "Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings." 
   
   
   
  Blending humor with insight, tension with tenderness, complexity with care, 44 Poems on Being with Each Other articulates the power of poetry itself. Through careful and incisive readings, it illuminates aspects of the human condition, particularly the ways we are inextricably linked to each other, and provides inspiration for grounded self-reflection. It is an anthology that will delight listeners, just as Pádraig's podcast has done for millions around the world.
