Sinopsis

Hawthorn and Lavender, with Other Verses is a remarkable collection of poetry by William Ernest Henley, marked by its emotive language and skillful exploration of themes such as love, resilience, and the human condition. Written in the late Victorian era, the poems reflect Henley's distinct literary style, characterized by vivid imagery and a rhythmic cadence that invites the reader to contemplate the complexities of life. The collection showcases Henley's adeptness in balancing personal experience with broader existential questions, creating a rich tapestry of verse that resonates with sincerity and depth. William Ernest Henley was a prominent figure in the British literary scene, known for his fierce individualism and his struggle against adversity, particularly in his battle with tuberculosis, which ultimately led to the amputation of his leg. This experience inspired his famous poem "Invictus," yet his poetry in Hawthorn and Lavender also draws upon the beauty of nature and the simple joys of life, reflecting his deeply felt appreciation for moments of tenderness amidst suffering. Henley's background as an editor and critic further shaped his nuanced understanding of poetic forms and traditions, enriching his work. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate the beauty of early modern poetry and seek a poignant reflection on the human experience. Henley's expertly crafted verses not only evoke emotion but also invite introspection, making this book an essential addition to any poetry lover's library.

    A new collection of poetry inspired by the work of Agnes Martin, exploring topics of feminism, art, depression, and grief, by the author of the prizewinning collection Obit. 
     
     
     
    Yesterday I slung my depression on my back and went to the museum. I only asked four attendants where the Agnes painting was and the fifth one knew. I walked into the room and saw it right away. From afar, it was a large white square. 
     
     
     
    With My Back to the World engages with the paintings and writings of Agnes Martin, the celebrated abstract artist, in ways that open up new modes of expression, expanding the scope of what art, poetry, and the human mind can do. Filled with surprise and insight, wit and profundity, the book explores the nature of the self, of existence, life and death, grief and depression, time and space. Strikingly original, fluidly strange, Victoria Chang's new collection is a book that speaks to how we see and are seen.

    A poem-by-poem engagement with Sylvia Plath's Ariel and the towering mythology surrounding it.
      When I am a bitch I feel in such good company.
      Nice girls never gave me anything but trouble,
      Eating the ground out from under me, then waving
      As I fall. Pity one has to die to see how liberating
      Bad can be. But what news had I of my own self?
      Words landed like razors, hours tinkled, suitors arrived.
      Listen, you'll think otherwise, but I tell you, betrayal
      Is your Get Out of Jail Free card. Take it,
      Don't look back. Of course you will. Look back.
      We always do, we who adore the muscle
      Of our cashmere cells, a cock that makes
      Our knees weak. Darlings, don't be sweet,
      Or serviceable. Don't accommodate,
      Write in blood or don't bother ...
      
      Where were you when you first read Ariel? Who were you? What has changed in your life? In the lives of women? In My Ariel, Sina Queyras barges into one of the iconic texts of the twentieth century, with her own family baggage in tow, exploring and exploding the cultural norms, forms, and procedures that frame and contain the lives of women.

Among them, one person stands out: Igor, a cultured Hungarian who has experienced terrible events in the Middle East, where he fought as a contractor and as a volunteer alongside the Kurds against ISIS. Marco is fascinated by his personality, but he will discover something that will unsettle him and worsen his existential crisis.

    Pulsing with the energy of urban life, these poems traverse the gritty, playful and tender moments that shape our lives. From the thrill of evading the police in 'The Chase' to the nostalgia of 'New Shoes' and the sheer abandon of 'The Amusements', we are pulled deep into a world where chaos and community intersect.
    With a clarion and uncompromising voice, Charles Lang maps a labyrinth of memories, blending sharp wit with darker undercurrents as he explores identity, masculinity, class and ecology. Whether reflecting on family, friendships or fleeting moments of euphoria, Lang offers an authentic snapshot of working-class lives, where beauty is found in both the mundane and the extraordinary; in the human and the more-than-human.
    A sonorous celebration of language and place, The Oasis is a vivid ode to the city's streets and stories, a testament to resilience and belonging.
