Sinopse

The Works of William Cowper is a compendium that showcases the evolution of Cowper's poetic thought, marked by both his personal struggles and the broader social issues of his time. Through a rich tapestry of verse, letters, and prose, Cowper explores themes of nature, faith, and the human condition, often imbued with a profound sense of melancholy and introspection. His literary style combines classical influences with a distinctly personal voice, reflecting the transitional nature of 18th-century poetry as it moved towards Romanticism, engaging readers with its emotional depth and striking imagery. William Cowper, a central figure in the landscape of English literature, battled profound mental health issues throughout his life, which deeply influenced his writing. Growing up in an era that combined Enlightenment rationalism with burgeoning Romantic sensibilities, Cowper was intimately aware of the tensions between reason and emotion, crafting works that resonate with vulnerability and authenticity. His faith journey, punctuated by crises and a deep reliance on divine grace, lends a spiritual dimension to his poetry that captivates readers and invites reflection. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of the human psyche will find The Works of William Cowper both enriching and transformative. Cowper's mastery of language and profound contemplation of life's complexities render this collection not just a literary endeavor but a journey into the depths of the soul. This volume is essential for those looking to understand the interplay of faith and doubt, nature and humanity, in the context of both personal and societal struggles.

Life expectancy begins to fall

Tom Sastry

Is your retirement plan dying in the climate wars? Are you getting on with things in the meantime? In Life expectancy begins to fall, Tom Sastry asks how we normalise an apocalypse, taking us on a tour of bad coping strategies, unwelcome epiphanies, and striking reminders of what we still have.
Part-elegy and part-satire, these poems do not show you what to do in a crisis, nor do they promote the cliches of positive thinking that tell you how to be a good worker, an effective activist or a spiritual person. Instead, quietly and persuasively, Sastry develops a subtle meditation on hope. The poetry shows us as we mostly are, lost in the enormity of it all and busy with other things. Explore a world where 'pessimism is complicated by love' and optimism is found hiding in moments where 'nothing happens, in the most lavish way'.

The debut collection of an exciting new voice in poetry 
 
 
 
Please make me pretty, I don't want to die explores tactility, sound, sensuality, and intimacy. Set across the four seasons of a year, these fresh and original poems by Tawanda Mulalu combine an inviting confessional voice and offbeat imagery, and offer an appealing mixture of seriousness and humor. 
 
 
 
The speaker of these poems probes romantic and interracial intimacy, the strangeness and difficulty of his experiences as a diasporic Black African in White America, his time working as a teacher's assistant in a third-grade classroom, and his ambivalent admiration for canonical poets who have influenced him, especially Sylvia Plath. Juxtaposing traditional forms such as sonnets and elegies with less orthodox interjections, such as prose-poem "prayers" and other meditations, the collection presents a poetic world both familiar and jarring—one in which history, the body, and poetry can collide in a single surprising turn of image: "The stars also suffer. Immense and dead, their gasses burn / distant like castanets of antebellum teeth. My open window / a synecdoche of country."

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
For centuries England has always had a leading and admired reputation for its poets and poetry.  In this volume we explore those born in the East Midlands who created such revered, enduring and respected verse.

Notes from a Shipwreck, the third collection of poetry by Jessica Mookherjee, is a richly detailed and illuminating voyage of dislocation and longing. By turns evocative, unsettling, and full of 'small acts of magic', Mookherjee simultaneously finds the past, present, and future in the tempestuous, lyrical tides that flow through her poems.
Here, seafaring lore and shanties interweave with wreckage and survival, drawn by strong currents of history – where migration, colonialism, pandemics and climate change shape the course we are on. The sea is a territory of grief and transformation, alluring and dangerous, where safe harbours and landfall are not always certain. Mookherjee's enchanting, salt-sharp poetry encompasses the many journeys embarked on – whether seeking refuge, escape, or into exile – and consider not only the deep blue sea and its myriad mythologies, but to understand 'what makes a land and person,' – the keen human instinct to seek belonging.
