Sinopsis

A passionate intensity moves through the subjective, intimate voice of the poems of Natalka Bilotserkivets. Through translation, Subterranean Fire continues their mysterious pilgrimage to their second lives.  From one of the true inheritors – touchstones like Anna Akhmatova, Gabriela Mistral, and Louise Bogan – the poems of Bilotserkivets inhabit us as they include us in their transcendent borderland.
 
– American poet James Brasfield
 
With great depths of feeling, Natalka Bilotserkivets’s poetry guides us into that uncharted territory where word meets heart. The poems, spare and often questioning, redeem that land between what is most difficult to grasp and most difficult to forget.
 
– Dzvinia Orlowsky, American poet and translator
 
Natalka Bilotserkivets’s poetry …is characterized by tight form and elegiac feelings … this reader was impressed by the liquid cascade of alliterations in her … poems.
 
– Professor Andrew Wachtel
 
 …contemporary Ukrainian literature has been enriched by the unique pearl of [Natalka Bilotserkivets’s] intellectual and lyrical poetry.
 
– Ukrainian prose writer, poet, and essayist Kost Moskalets
 
I am certain that this first-rate modern Ukrainian poet could become a star of world lyric poetry…
 
– Ukrainian poet and prose writer Ludmyla Taran

    Freedom House is a poetry collection that explores internal, interpersonal, and systemic freedom.  
    In this debut full-length collection, KB Brookins’ formally diverse, music-influenced poetry explores transness, politics of the body, gentrification, sexual violence, climate change, masculinity, and afrofuturism while chronicling their transition and walking readers through different “rooms”. The speaker isn’t afraid to call themselves out while also bending time, displaying the terror of being Black/queer/trans in Texas, and more — all while using humor and craft.  
    What does freedom look like? What can we learn from nature and our past? How do you reintroduce yourself in a world that refuses queerness? How can we use poetry as a tool in the toolbox that helps build freedom? This collection explores those questions, and manifests a world where Black, queer, and trans people get to live.

    "Paradise Lost" by John Milton is an epic poem that delves into the biblical story of the Fall of Man, deftly exploring themes of temptation, sin, and redemption. With majestic language and sweeping imagery, Milton recounts the rebellious uprising of Satan and his angels against God, their subsequent exile to Hell, and Satan's sinister plot leading to the downfall of Adam and Eve in Eden. This monumental work not only illuminates the human condition but also wrestles with questions of free will, divine justice, and the struggle between good and evil.

    Robert Lee Frost was born on the 26th March 1874 in San Francisco, California. 
    His father found providing for the family a constant challenge and he died, when Frost was 11, from tuberculosis and left an estate valued at only $8.  The family moved east to Lawrence, Massachusetts, and a better life with his grandfather. 
    After graduating from High School, and then a few months at Dartmouth college, he returned home to take on a variety of menial jobs to help support his mother.  Their drudgery and poor money encouraged him to move in a different direction: a career as a poet. 
    He sold his first poem in 1894 for $15.  With this milestone he proposed to his high school sweetheart who declined as she was still studying at university.  The following year she graduated and they married.  A year later the first of their six children arrived.   
    After a stint at Harvard for two years he received the gift of a farm from his ailing grandfather.  Frost worked the farm and wrote unpublished poetry for several years before turning to a teaching position. 
    Upon the death of one of his children the grief-stricken family decided to quit everything and live in England, moving across the Atlantic in 1912.  The following year he published his first poetry book and with it came critical acclaim.  He was now in his late thirties. 
    The onset of World War I saw Frost return to America with a glowing reputation, and here he launched himself into a career of writing, teaching and lecturing.  
    In 1924 he received the first of four Pulitzer Prizes, for his book ‘New Hampshire: A Poem with Notes and Grace Notes’.  He received a second Pulitzer in 1931 for ‘Collected Poems’.  A third Pulitzer Prize was presented in 1937 for ‘A Further Range’.  His fourth Pulitzer was awarded in 1943 for ‘A Witness Tree’. 
    Frost was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 31 times. 
    During these years personal tragedy had enveloped him.  A daughter had died in her late 20s from the effects of her puerperal fever at childbirth, his wife had died of breast cancer, and a son had committed suicide.  
    Then, at the age of 86, was asked to read his poem ‘The Gift Outright’ at President John F Kennedy’s inauguration on the 20th January, 1961.  
    Robert Frost died on the 29th January 1963 in Boston of complications arising from prostate surgery.  He was 88.

    Elsewhere, the Cosmos Cracks is a poetry collection that asks, amidst the climate crisis, how one continues to find wonder in the everyday.  
     
    Beginning from the confines of a HDB estate, the poems present a way of walking through Singapore’s landscape, to find moments of reconnection across time. In pieces that reconsider public housing as a garden, revisit the well-worn story of a national flower, and return to familiar rituals and language as inherited wisdom, the collection posits that some of our answers might just be awaiting us in plain sight—so long as we learn how to look.

    A breathtaking poetry collection on hope, heart, and heritage from the most prominent and promising Black poets and writers of our time, edited by Why Fathers Cry at Night author and #1 New York Times bestselling author Kwame Alexander.  In this comprehensive and vibrant poetry anthology, bestselling author and poet Kwame Alexander curates a collection of contemporary anthems at turns tender and piercing and deeply inspiring throughout. Featuring work from well-loved poets such as Rita Dove, Jericho Brown, Warsan Shire, Ross Gay, Tracy K. Smith, Terrance Hayes, Morgan Parker, and Nikki Giovanni, This Is the Honey is a rich and abundant offering of language from the poets giving voice to generations of resilient joy, “each incantation,” as Mahogany L. Browne puts it in her titular poem, is “a jubilee of a people dreaming wildly.”   This essential collection, in the tradition of Dudley Randall’s The Black Poets and E. Ethelbert Miller’s In Search of Color Everywhere, contains poems exploring joy, love, origin, race, resistance, and praise. Jacqueline A.Trimble likens “Black woman joy” to indigo, tassels, foxes, and peacock plumes. Tyree Daye, Nate Marshall, and Elizabeth Acevedo reflect on the meaning of “home” through food, from Cuban rice and beans to fried chicken gizzards. Clint Smith and Cameron Awkward-Rich enfold us in their intimate musings on love and devotion. From a “jewel in the hand” (Patricia Spears Jones) to “butter melting in small pools” (Elizabeth Alexander), This Is the Honey drips with poignant and delightful imagery, music, and raised fists.   Fresh, memorable, and deeply moving, this definitive collection a must-have for any lover of language and a gift for our time.
