October and Other Poems - With Occasional Verses on the War

Robert Bridges

Sinopsis

In "October, and Other Poems," Robert Bridges elegantly captures the transient beauty of nature through his nuanced observations and lyrical style. This collection, steeped in the Victorian tradition, employs vivid imagery and resonant sound patterns to explore themes of change, mortality, and the interconnectedness of life. Bridges'Äô mastery of rhythm and meter brings each poem to life, inviting readers to experience the fleeting moments of beauty that define the autumn season, while also reflecting on the broader human experience. The poems echo the Romantic ethos yet are distinct in their meticulous attention to detail and natural phenomena, resonating with the contemporary concerns of the time. Robert Bridges, appointed Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 1913, embedded his personal experiences and scholarly pursuits in his poetry. His background in medicine, coupled with a deep appreciation for nature, fostered a unique sensitivity towards the organic world. His commitment to poetic form and innovative style can be traced to his fascination with both the classics and the emerging modernist movements, allowing him to carve out a niche that is distinctly his own. "October, and Other Poems" is a compelling read for those who appreciate the confluence of beauty and introspection. Readers who seek a deeper understanding of nature through the lens of poetic expression will find Bridges'Äô work to be both illuminating and poignant. This collection serves as a timeless reminder of the exquisite transitions that define our existence, making it an essential addition to any literary repertoire.

The Unfolding - An Invitation to...

Arielle Estoria

Arielle Estoria is known for her moving and empowering words that encourage women and all people to be confident in who they are, compassionate about where they’ve been, and loving about who they are becoming. In this stunning collection of essays, poems, and meditations, Estoria tenderly reveals the places in her life where she has been broken open, mended back together in new ways, and shows us how this process of “unfolding” helps us discover and return home to the person we were always meant to be.   
In order to let something in, 
you have to let some things go 
In order to heal, you must hurt, 
In order to grow, you will experience discomfort 
and all of this is to make more room for hope 
less room for perfectionism and more room for simply being. 
This is the Unfolding

As the Sky Begins to Change - Poems

Kim Stafford

In his third poetry collection from Red Hen Press, Kim Stafford gathers poems that sing with empathy, humor, witness, and story. Poems in this book have been set to music, quoted in the New York Times, posted online in the Academy of American Poets poem-a-day series, gathered in a chapbook sold to benefit Ukrainian refugees, posted online in response to Supreme Court decisions, composed for a painter’s gallery opening, and in other ways engaged a world at war with itself, testifying for the human project hungry for kinship, exiled from bounty, and otherwise thirsting for the oxygen of healing song.

Bitter Punch

Loh Guan Liang

Shortlisted for the 2018 Singapore Literature Prize 
 
 
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." 
-Gwee Li Sui, poet and critic
