Laguner blomma är en expansiv diktbok som rör sig mellan förhistoria och framtid, mellan natur och civilisation. I allt från dialektdikter till prosa framträder en värld där Kvikkjokk och Venedig, Medelhavet och Torneträsk ger intryck av att ha vuxit samman, och där en jordbrukande kvinna i Överkalix kan bo granne med en etruskisk vinbonde. Läsaren befinner sig ömsom bland mossdjur och algmassor, ömsom ställd inför en ”subatomär tvekan”. Vi får också slå följe med en illa åtgången men tapper åsnekentaur som är på färd mot nya former av kärlek och gemenskap. I Laguner blomma uppluckras inte bara gränsen mellan växt och djur, djur och människa, utan i sista hand även mellan liv och död, det som finns och inte finns.

Bird Eating Bird: Poems

Carolyn Forché

"Blue Hour is an elusive book, because it is ever in pursuit of what the German poet Novalis called 'the [lost] presence beyond appearance.' The longest poem, 'On Earth,' is a transcription of mind passing from life into death, in the form of an abecedary, modeled on ancient gnostic hymns. Other poems in the book, especially 'Nocturne' and 'Blue Hour,' are lyric recoveries of the act of remembering, though the objects of memory seem to us vivid and irretrievable, the rage to summon and cling at once fierce and distracted.

"The voice we hear in Blue Hour is a voice both very young and very old. It belongs to someone who has seen everything and who strives imperfectly, desperately, to be equal to what she has seen. The hunger to know is matched here by a desire to be new, totally without cynicism, open to the shocks of experience as if perpetually for the first time, though unillusioned, wise beyond any possible taint of a false or assumed innocence."

-- Robert Boyers

Blue Hour: Poems

Michael Medved

Why does our popular culture seem so consistently hostile to the values that most Americans hold dear? Why does the entertainment industry attack religion, glorify brutality, undermine the family, and deride patriotism? 

In this explosive book, one of the nation's best known film critics examines how Hollywood has broken faith with its public, creating movies, television, and popular music that exacerbate every serious social problem we face, from teenage pregnancies to violence in the streets. 

Michael Medved powerfully argues that the entertainment business follows its own dark obsessions, rather than giving the public what it wants: In fact, the audience for feature films and network television has demonstrated its profound disillusionment in recent years, with disastrous consequences for many entertainment companies. Meanwhile, overwhelming numbers of our fellow citizens complain about the wretched quality of our popular culture--describing the offerings of the mass media as the worst ever. Medved asserts that Hollywood ignores--and assaults--the values of ordinary American families, pursuing a self-destructive and alienated ideological agenda that is harmful to the nation at large and to the industry's own interests. 

In hard-hitting chapters on "The Attack on Religion," "The Addiction to Violence," "Promoting Promiscuity," "The Infatuation with Foul Language," "Kids Know Best," "Motivations for Madness," and other subjects, Medved outlines the underlying themes that turn up again and again in our popular culture. He also offers conclusive evidence of the frightening real-world impact of these messages on our society and our children. 

Finally, Medved shows where and how Hollywood took a disastrous wrong turn toward its current crisis, and he outlines promising efforts both in and outside the industry to restore a measure of sanity and restraint to our media of mass entertainment.

Sure to elicit strong response, whether it takes the form of cheers of support or howls of enraged dissent, Hollywood vs. America confronts head-on one of the most significant issues of our times.

Hollywood vs. America: The Explosive Bestseller that Shows How—and Why—the Entertainment Industry has Broken Faith with Its Audience

Patti Smith

Auguries of Innocence is the first book of poetry from Patti Smith in more than a decade. It marks a major accomplishment from a poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics. In this intimate and searing collection of poems, Smith joins in that great tradition of troubadours, journeymen, wordsmiths, and artists who respond to the world around them in fresh and original language. Her influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times.

Auguries of Innocence: Poems

Placed in the context of twentieth-century moral disaster--war, genocide, the Holocaust, the atomic bomb--Forche's ambitious and compelling third collection of poems is a meditation of memory, specifically how memory survives the unimaginable. The poems reflect the effects of such experience: the lines, and often the images within them, are fragmented discordant. But read together, these lines become a haunting mosaic of grief, evoking the necessary accommodations human beings make to survive what is unsurvivable. As poets have always done, Forche attempts to give voice to the unutterable, using language to keep memory alive, relive history, and link the past with the future.

Kathleen McCleary

A Simple Thing is a lovely, truly heartwarming novel about the drastic measures two mothers take to keep their families safe. Kathleen McCleary, the critically acclaimed author of House and Home, tells the intertwining stories of Susannah Delaney and Betty Pavalak. Susannah moves her family to remote Sounder Island—a primitive retreat with no electricity—to escape television, the internet, and the dangerous, corrupting influences of the modern technological world. Decades earlier, Betty also came to the island to escape her demons. A Simple Thing is a poignant and unforgettable novel in the vein of Jacqueline Sheehan’s Lost and Found and The Art of Saying Goodbye by Ellyn Bache. It is a tale of family and friendship that Kristin Hannah fans will take into their hearts.

Maybe the Saddest Thing: Poems

Muriel Rukeyser

The definitive edition of selected work from a poet whose influence continues to be widely felt today, introduced by Natasha Trethewey

Engaging closely with the violence, oppression, and injustice that she witnessed in her lifetime, Muriel Rukeyser was one of the seminal poets of the mid-twentieth century. Closely informed by issues relating to equality, social justice, feminism, and Judaism, her impassioned poetry was often seen as a mode of social protest, but it was also heralded for its deep emotional impact; its personal perspective; forthright discussion of the female experience, particularly sex and single parenthood at a time when these topics were largely taboo; and its wide-ranging exploration of genre and form. As Adrienne Rich wrote: “Muriel Rukeyser’s poetry is unequalled in the twentieth-century United States…She pushes us…to enlarge our sense of what poetry is about in the world, and of the place of feelings and memory in politics.”

The Essential Muriel Rukeyser represents the curation of Rukeyser’s most enduring and urgent work, gathered in one volume that spans the many decades of her life and career, and with an introduction from Natasha Trethewey, one of our most important contemporary poets.

The Essential Muriel Rukeyser: Poems

Kendra Allen

A deeply wrought and joyful debut poetry collection from an exciting new voice 

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. Most of all, The Collection Plate explores both how we collect and erase the voices, lives, and innocence of underrepresented bodies—and behold their pleasure, pain, and possibility

Both formally exciting and a delight to read, The Collection Plate is a testament to Allen’s place as the voice of a generation—and a witness to how we come into being in the twenty-first century.

Dick Flavin

From the voice of Fenway Park comes a collection of sixty-four humorous and nostalgic poems celebrating the Boston Red Sox.

A commonwealth institution and popular local television personality who is also the announcer, ambassador, and poet laureate for Fenway Park, Dick Flavin has entertained audiences with his incredible poetic talent and abiding love for the Red Sox before countless home games for more than twenty years. Now, this legendary talent’s poems are gathered together for the first time in this keepsake volume.

As a beloved Red Sox insider, Flavin has been privileged to watch history in the making, from the team’s 2004 World Series victory that finally broke its nearly century-long “curse,” to road-tripping with Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky, to witnessing Ted Williams final appearance at the plate. His pithy and comedic verses—including such gems as “The Beards of Summer,” “Long Live Fenway Park,” and his best known, “Teddy at the Bat”—pay homage to the American pastime, New England’s favorite team and players (and the curses and legends that have followed it), and the passionate Nation that has remained faithful through victory and defeat.

Illustrated with more than fifty photos from the official Red Sox archives, Red Sox Rhymes honors all of Red Sox fandom and is an essential memento for every BoSox fan.

The National Poetry Series’s long tradition of promoting exceptional poetry from lesser-known poets delivers another outstanding collection of poetry by Joshua Poteat.

Zbigniew Herbert

This outstanding new translation brings a uniformity of voice to Zbigniew Herbert's entire poetic output, from his first book of poems, String of Light, in 1956, to his final volume, previously unpublished in English, Epilogue Of the Storm. Collected Poems: 1956-1998, as Joseph Brodsky said of Herbert's SSelected Poems, is "bound for a much longer haul than any of us can anticipate." He continues, "For Zbigniew Herbert's poetry adds to the biography of civilization the sensibility of a man not defeated by the century that has been most thorough, most effective in dehumanization of the species. Herbert's irony, his austere reserve and his compassion, the lucidity of his lyricism, the intensity of his sentiment toward classical antiquity, are not just trappings of a modern poet, but the necessary armor—in his case well-tempered and shining indeed—for man not to be crushed by the onslaught of reality. By offering to his readers neither aesthetic nor ethical discount, this poet, in fact, saves them frorn that poverty which every form of human evil finds so congenial. As long as the species exists, this book will be timely."

The Collected Poems: 1956–1998

Este ojo que no mira, mira mucho y propone que miremos. Solo con repasar el índice (no se trata de hormigas / sobresaltos de arena / costa africana / sí, el filo de la luna corta / con las dunas en el cuerpo) podemos tener una idea de cuán cargado de imágenes está este delicado poemario que nos propone una mirada, entre otras posibles, sobre el universo de heridas que abren y olas que expanden las migraciones.

Faraj Bayrakdar

I den civiliserade världen finns fängelser för kriminella, men inga för dem som uttrycker sina åsikter och sitt samvete. I en värld plågad av förtryck, tyranner och FN:s och säkerhetsrådets tystnad, finns katastrofala fängelser och helvetesliknande anstalter som utgör en skam, inte bara för sina länder, utan för hela mänsklighetens historia.
Det var som om ödet hade bestämt att molnen i dikterna i denna samling skulle forma sig fritt, att de skulle regna när och var de ville och befrukta träden, ängarna och rosorna. Jag menar, det var som om dikterna var menade att krönas med frihetens vingar, inte med bojorna från Saydnaya-fängelset eller någon annanstans.

Benito Pérez Galdós

La Corte de Carlos IV es el segundo Episodio Nacional de Benito Pérez Galdós. En esta novela, y tras la épica de "Trafalgar", el autor nos trae una historia de cómicos y cortesanas a caballo entre Madrid y El Escorial. Y si en la primera entrega de la serie Gabriel Araceli siente el despertar del patriotismo, en la Corte de Carlos IV encuentra, a sus 16 años, la consciencia y el valor de su propia dignidad y honor, en esta memorable obra, intensa en amoríos e intrigas.

La novela narra los acontecimientos de la "conspiración de El Escorial" de 1807, una intentona fallida encabezada por el futuro Rey Fernando VII para provocar la caída del "favorito" Manuel Godoy y, probablemente, hacer abdicar en su favor a sus padres, todo ello con las tropas de Napoleón entrando ya en España, supuestamente, hacia Portugal. Pero tan importante e interesante resulta este episodio como la descripción de los ambientes teatrales de principios del siglo XIX, en una historia que Galdós puebla de personajes históricos, sin dejar de dar voz al Madrid popular.

La Corte de Carlos IV is the 2nd National Episode by Benito Pérez Galdós. The author brings us a story of actors and courtesans between Madrid and El Escorial, and while our young protagonist finds, at 16 years of age, the conscience and the value of his own dignity and honor, in a memorable work intense in love affairs and intrigues.

The novel narrates the events of the "conspiracy of El Escorial" (1807), a failed attempt led by the future King Ferdinand VII to provoke the fall of the "favorite" Manuel Godoy and the abdication of his parents, all this with Napoleon's troops already entering Spain, supposedly on their way to Portugal. But this episode is as important and interesting as the description of the theatrical environments of the early 19th century, in a story populated with historical characters and the humble people of Madrid.

Hidden beneath Stone Mountain's imposing facade lies a dark and intriguing secret. Drawn together by an irresistible force, a disparate group of individuals with unique powers, embark on a quest to uncover its legend. Unbeknownst to them, they are thrust into an ancient battle between good and evil. 

Amidst the peculiar happenings surrounding Cyrus Jones's family farm, her unique ability to command the weather unveils its true purpose. Determined to unearth the truth behind the relentless loss of everything she holds dear, Cyrus's investigation leads her to two captivating figures—Mr. H, the leader of an underground resistance, and Bobby Carter, a mesmerizing carnival performer. 

Meanwhile, former knights William Avery and Quinton Fenris break free from their allegiance to The Knights of Adonai, a modern order of knights connected with Alethea Church. Now fugitives, and questioning their once-loyal motives, they must elude pursuers while grappling with their own profound destinies. 

As these lives intertwine, more extraordinary individuals emerge from the shadows. Amira Kadru, a young prodigy with the power of mirroring, and the enigmatic warlock Marlynn, a guiding presence for the amnesic Amy; All join the growing alliance. Together with Cyrus, Bobby, William, and Quinton, they unite as the Guardians of Atlanta, a formidable force against the malevolent darkness seeking to resurrect Stone Mountain's ancient legend. 

With fate converging upon Stone Mountain, an inevitable final showdown looms. The dormant power within the sacred rock remains a tantalizing mystery. Who will triumph in the battle to unravel the legend, and what otherworldly forces will be unleashed? Brace yourself for an epic tale of superheroes—a poetic masterpiece where super powers clash in a timeless struggle for Georgia's own Stone Mountain.

El impulso incontrolado de hacer verso lo cotidiano mueve la pluma de Marino Martínez Baizán-Lobo, quien en estas páginas retrata emociones, pasiones, paisajes, momentos y personas con la calidez de la rima sencilla y sensible.

Este poemario rinde homenaje, también, a los brillos fugaces que hacen especiales nuestras vidas, a los amores que nos forman y a las pérdidas que, paradójicamente, nos completan como seres humanos.

Asturias, con su paisaje y sus gentes, es fuente de inspiración que predomina en esta obra poética.

My Rådmark

Att våga beröra det sköra och starka. Att våga acceptera nuet, känslornas brutala styrka och mjukt landa vid trädets rötter för att omfamna vårt ursprung, vårt arv, vår kraft.

Vi lever. Kämpar. Slåss. Älskar.

Låt oss vandra långt in där hjärtat vibrerar av liv. Om vi börjar där, hur väljer vi att steg för steg, hjärtslag för hjärtslag vandra på denna jord?

I denna värld med så mycket mörker och så mycket ljus, här och bara här, finns möjligheten att med kärlek se vårt mörker och vårt ljus .. att vi är en del av allt som skapas och allt som skapats och hitta modet att Älska det. Modet att vara just människa.

My Rådmark har framfört poetisk gestaltning och performance i över 10 år med ämnen som handlar om vår relation till oss själva och vår jord. Med kraft och riktning sprider hon viktiga eldbloss i mörkret. Här låter hon sina framföranden övergå i bokform, i en litterär sång där vissa fraser är återkommande, fördjupande.
Det går inte att blunda för den tid vi lever i och My Rådmark har ett uttryck som väcker vår längtan, ger tröst och stimulerar en nyfikenhet om vår inneboende kraft som människa.

"Ohh nu har jag lyssnat och jag bara säger wow. Jag blev helt tagen. Man levde sig in i den. Tack för en otrolig upplevelse och jag kommer rekommendera den till vänner. En underbar röst som läste den.” – Gudrun

"Det var spänning från början och det gillar jag, jag är en sån som tröttnar om början är seg. Lättlyssnad och en härlig och behaglig röst att lyssna på.” – Anna Pettersson

”Jag läser inte jättemycket. Blir boken tråkig så slutar jag … Men denna fick mig verkligen att vilja läsa mer. Har inte läst nåt av dig tidigare, men det borde jag gjort. Bra jobbat!” – Rose-Marie

”Spännande, lättläst och väldigt läsvärd! Hade svårt att lägga ifrån mig, så jag sträckläste den. En riktigt ”levande” bok och satte mig enkelt in i karaktärerna. Boken hade blandat innehåll med lust och otäckheter. Skulle rekommendera den till minst två vänner. Vill läsa mer!” Mvh Kicki

Maggie Millner

Kupletter är en bländande kärlekshistoria om en kvinna som lever ett vanligt liv i Brooklyn, New York. Hon har en pojkvän. Tillsammans har de en katt. Hon tycker om att skriva dikter och drömmer om att bli förförd av äldre kvinnor. Men drömmarna är just det, drömmar. Så en natt träffar hon en kvinna i en bar, och störtar rakt in i en förtärande affär. En enorm våg av begär sköljer över henne och får henne att lämna sitt gamla jag bakom sig.

Maggie Millners fängslande, förföriska debut är en kärlekshistoria på vers som utforskar besatthet, kön, identitet och litterär förvandling. Kupletter berättar om relationers begränsningar, om kåthet, svartsjuka och besvikelse – och om det magiska i att de människor vi älskar kan visa oss vilka vi verkligen är.

Harry Josephine Giles

Read by the author, Harry Josephine Giles.

Them! by Harry Josephine Giles is a challenging and subversive collection of poems about trans life as it is lived today, through the lenses of work, technology and ecology.

Witty, candid, furious, and always compelling, Them! negotiates the fraught and fruitful space between the worlds of ‘online’ and the ‘outside’, and how they fuse and diverge in the imagination.

Giles’ visual poetics create an unusually dynamic reading experience as she finds new ways ‘to sing, shout and strike in the cracks of what’s possible’. At a time when trans rights are to the fore in public discourse, Them! is a zestful poetic intervention from one of this generation’s most necessary poets.

Marcia Noe

In the early 1900s, three small-town midwestern playwrights helped shepherd American theatre into the modern era. Together, they created the renowned Provincetown Players collective, which not only launched many careers but also had the power to affect US social, cultural, and political beliefs.

The philosophical and political orientations of Floyd Dell, George Cram Cook, and Susan Glaspell generated a theatre practice marked by experimentalism, collaboration, leftist cultural critique, rebellion, liberation, and community engagement. In Three Midwestern Playwrights, Marcia Noe situates the origin of the Provincetown aesthetic in Davenport, Iowa, a Mississippi River town. All three playwrights recognized that radical politics sometimes begat radical chic, and several of their plays satirize the faddish elements of the progressive political, social, and cultural movements they were active in.

Three Midwestern Playwrights brings the players to life and deftly illustrates how Dell, Cook, and Glaspell joined early 20th-century midwestern radicalism with East Coast avant-garde drama, resulting in a fresh and energetic contribution to American theatre.

Dr. Amro Mounier

“In the vast expanse of the Algerian desert, an adventurer embarks on a solitary journey to explore ancient temples hidden among the dunes. As he delves into the ruins, he uncovers engravings on the walls that hint at a civilization far more advanced than ours, one that predates history as we know it. Suddenly, he’s whisked away by unseen forces and comes face-to-face with these ancient beings. In a twist of fate, he learns the secret behind their diminished stature, as they have evolved into beings of small form but immense intellect, a stark contrast to their grand legacy etched in stone.”

Sappho

In the ancient world of Greece, amidst the lyrical splendor of poetry, one name shines with a brilliance that transcends time: Sappho. Revered as one of the greatest poets of antiquity, Sappho's work speaks to the depths of human emotion with a clarity and intensity that remains unparalleled. Through her verses, she immortalizes the joys and sorrows of love, the beauty of nature, and the complexities of the human experience, captivating readers across centuries with her exquisite imagery and emotional resonance.
Sappho's poetry, though fragmented by the passage of time, continues to captivate and inspire readers with its raw emotion and timeless beauty. Through her words, she invites us to journey into the heart of love and longing, to ponder the mysteries of desire and devotion, and to celebrate the enduring power of the human spirit. In the poems of Sappho, we find not only a window into the world of ancient Greece but also a mirror reflecting the universal truths of love, loss, and the enduring quest for connection and meaning.

The Poems Of Sappho

Lajla Andersson

En bok med prosa, dikter och texter om mina känslor och livserfarenheter och som en bearbetning och healande process av alla livets prövningar. En bok om att gå genom motstånd, bearbetning av förtryck, mobbing, intolerans, svårigheter, drev och bland fiender. 
Jag skriver om när jag gick in i en vägg, ja flera väggar och om mina känslor och sorg efter att min Son gick bort 21 år gammal.
*En bok om insikter, lärdomar, kraft, hopp och visdom av livets prövningar. Att övervinna motgångar och att alltid se mot ljuset. 
Jag skriver också om Andlighet och om min starka tro på att livet fortsätter på andra sidan och om stödet i livet från Gud, Änglarna, Andervärlden och Nautrvärlden. 
Mina egna målningar finns också med i boken.

Med Ordens Kraft: PROSA, VERSER OCH TEXTER. En bearbetning av förtryck, mobbing och sorg genom drev. Att övervinna motgångar och att alltid se mot ljuset.
