I often think about our youth. It was indeed a strangely shaped toy, with a short body dragging a very long tail, spreading like wings, refusing to leave. A lamp is still on, but a song has been sung. A play has not ended, a love has reached the end of the road. We salute you. And the new curtain is about to be drawn. Maybe that's what human life is like, ending, starting, starting again, then ending. No matter what, we have to shoulder our suffering and happiness, moving forward, don't turn around.

Darf der Deutsche in diesem Augenblick, wo er ruhmlos aus seinem tränenvollen Kriege geht, wo zwei übermütige Völker ihren Fuß auf seinen Nacken setzen, und der Sieger sein Geschick bestimmt - darf er sich fühlen? Darf er sich seines Namens rühmen und freuen? Darf er sein Haupt erheben und mit Selbstgefühl auftreten in der Völker Reihe?

Text Messages is the first multi-genre collection by Montreal-based Iraqi hip-hop artist, activist, and professor Yassin “Narcy” Alsalman. Composed entirely on a smartphone during air travel and married to artwork from comrades, Narcy’s writing speaks of the existential crises experienced by diasporic children of war before and during imperialism in the age of the Internet. Narcy’s verses span the space between hip-hop and manifesto, portraying a crumbling, end-stage capitalist society, visions for a new reality, and the myth of multiculturalism in post-9/11 America.

In Forester's latest book of prose, he explores the multi-faceted tapestry of life in Maine, a state where nature's grandeur and human resilience interweave to create a landscape as complex as it is captivating. From the salty embrace of its jagged coastline to the earthy soul of its inland farms, Maine offers a sanctuary for those who find poetry in the everyday, the extraordinary, and everything in-between.

Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease.

Whether we're tumbling with Katz in a field of yellow flowers with a group of long-haired young people what seems only a moment (but is really four decades) ago or doing yoga right now, looking out a sliver of window at moving clouds, this collection evokes the exact scenes and buzz of perception that command our daily thoughts, that usher in grace and beauty, with their quietly urgent moral qualities, which, Katz suggests, can shape our days if we allow them to.

Looping exultantly through the overlapping experiences of girlhood, Blackness, sex, and personhood in America, award-winning essayist and poet Kendra Allen braids together personal narrative and cultural commentary, wrestling with the beauty and brutality to be found between mothers and daughters, young women and the world, Black bodies and white space, virginity and intrusion, prison and freedom, birth and death.

In the cold seminal countryside of eastern Washington, a boy puts a bullet through his skull in a high school parking lot. An uncle crushes oxycodone into “a thousand red granules.” Hawks wheel above a dark, indifferent river. “I left that town / forever,” Holbert writes, but its bruises appear everywhere, in dreams of violent men and small stars, the ghosts of friends and pills. These poems incite a complex emotional discourse on what it means to leave—if it’s ever actually possible, or if our roots only grow longer to accommodate the distance.

A. H. Jerriod Avant’s debut collection, Muscadine, cultivates the vine of familial memory, eulogizing our collective losses while exalting the succor of this human life, how the native grape’s “thick skin [that] teeth / pierce breaks to pour // sweetly across the tongue.” Throughout, a deeply Southern sensibility balances an environmental awareness of deficit and bounty—appetite pains the stomach and delights the palette.

The Maasai people of East Africa comprise one of the most intriguing and resourceful cultures on earth. In Ewaso Village, Duncan tells the story of a small community of Maasai and Samburu people in Laikipia County, Kenya. Using a combination of poetry and prose, Ewaso Village touches on universal themes, including rites of passage, creation myths, death rituals, and childbirth while posing significant questions about climate change, conservation, women’s rights, and the survival of indigenous cultures.

Usman Hameedi’s debut collection, Staying Right Here, is a journey in finding home. Hameedi invites listeners to bear witness to vignettes of joy and hardship as he navigates finding his place in America.

With A Year of Last Things, acclaimed novelist Michael Ondaatje returns to poetry, where he began his career over fifty years ago, and what a return it is. Born in Sri Lanka during the Second World War, Ondaatje was sent as a child to school in London, and later moved to Canada. While he has lived here since, these poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world – describing himself as a “mongrel,” someone born out of diverse cultures.

The story of the cowboy has been much romanticized and made part of a mythology about the American West. Earl’s Own Dakota Odyssey is an update on that myth. What is the actual nitty-gritty of life for a typical ranch hand? The work is hard, without job security, health benefits or retirement accounts. When you get old, no one wants you. That’s the down side. The upside is you live in a world that’s real, surrounded by the day-to-day beauty of God’s creation, called the Great Plains.

Written after two years of artistic silence, during which the world came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Minneapolis became the epicentre of protest following the murder of George Floyd, Bluff is Danez Smith’s powerful reckoning with their role and responsibility as a poet and with their hometown.

Antes de empezar escuchar los surrealistas versos de “Los paisajes de la multitud”, tendríamos que plantearnos un hecho fundamental en la vida del poeta: cuando Federico Lorca llega a Nueva York, el caos constante de tráfico, gigantescos edificios, miles de personas siempre corriendo...producen en él un efecto que lo deslumbra completamente al compararlo con su idílica vida en Fuente Vaqueros y Granada tan pequeñas y provincianas, pero a la vez tan llenas de luz y de arte. Ese contraste producirá en el poeta una profunda melancolía.
