A mi alma gemela
by Ernesto SalvatierraLa poesía es un puente áureo que une los corazones. La poesía es un río donde fluye el ansia del hombre, prisionero del tiempo. Es el bálsamo del amor que nos convierte en dioses, haciéndonos soñar con nuestra Alma Gemela. Convierte lo grande en pequeño; y en pequeño lo que es grande. Es el aliento de la vida y las alas de los ángeles caídos. La poesía es la música del alma, y un «no sé qué» que se halla por ventura. La poesía es el manantial de las ideas puras... ¡La puerta que nos abre a otros cielos!

A título de inventario
by Mario BenedettiEdición en un solo volumen que reúne todos los poemas de Mario Benedetti publicados entre 1950 y 2001, testimonios de la propia existencia del autor, engendrados con la sencillez y claridad que tanto le caracterizan. Amar, luchar, trabajar, morir, todo es motivo de poesía para Mario Benedetti. Cada pequeña situación del vivir cotidiano merece una canción, una celebración a la constante sorpresa de existir. Para él, la poesía no tiene sentido si no se comparte, si no se reproduce, si no fecunda. Como es habitual en las recopilaciones de la poesía de Benedetti, cada volumen se abre con la producción más reciente y concluye con la más antigua, quizá con la secreta esperanza de que el lector, al tener acceso a su obra por la puerta más nueva y más cercana, se vea luego tentado a ir abriendo otras puertas, «a beneficio de inventario». Inventario 1 integra todos los poemas publicados en libro entre 1950 y 1985:Sólo mientras tanto (1950), Poemas de la oficina (1956), Poemas del hoyporhoy (1961), Noción de patria (1963), Próximo prójimo (1965), Contra los puentes levadizos (1966), A ras de sueño (1967), Quemar las naves (1969), Letras de emergencia (1973), Poemas de otros (1974), La casa y el ladrillo (1977), Cotidianas (1979), Viento del exilio (1981) y Geografías (1984). Inventario 2 reúne todos los poemas publicados en libro entre 1986 y 1991: Preguntas al azar (1986), Yesterday y mañana (1988), Despistes y franquezas (1990) y Las soledades de Babel (1991). Inventario 3 contiene todos los poemas publicados en libro entre 1995 y 2001: El olvido está lleno de memoria (1995), La vida ese paréntesis (1998), Rincón de Haikus (1999) y El mundo que respiro (2001). Miguel García-Posada dijosobre Benedetti...«Tenía Benedetti el instinto de la palabra creadora, la capacidad de pellizcar el alma que solo poseen los poetas mayores.» «Benedetti era, aunque algunos se escandalicen, un machadiano del verso, que sabía que la poesía se produce en el tiempo o está abocada a la nada.» «Benedetti, hay que afirmarlo de entrada, y sus versos tenían, tienen, la garra de los genuinos poetas populares.»

A. E. Housman: The Critical Heritage (Routledge Revivals)
by Philip GardnerFirst published in 1992, A. E. Housman: The Critical Heritage brings together the most important and significant critical response to the poetry of A.E. Housman from the time of his writing to 1951. It contains ninety-four items—articles, reviews, and comments which provide an accurate picture of how Housman the poet was seen during his lifetime and for some years beyond it. The picture which emerges is of a poet not only of popular appeal, but of great literary distinction, who was admired by the majority of reviewers and critics who discussed his work. Among those quoted are J.B. Priestley, Edmund Gosse, Cyril Connolly, T.S. Eliot, George Orwell, Cleanth Brooke, Stephen Spender, John Sparrow, and E.M. Forster.
A.E. Housman: The Collected Poems Of A. E. Housman
by A.E. HousmanA. E. Housman, being one of the most famous and widely read poets of the early twentieth century, is certainly worthy of praise. His 'Collected Poems' are therefore a valuable read because they allow readers to gain an impression of the author's mind, opinions and lifestyle. Furthermore, they simultaneously depict a man who was deeply pessimistic and obsessed with death, and, on the other hand, illustrate a man who was also very much concerned with love, youth, life and the fleetingness of the these concepts.It is easy to understand why Housman's sensitive and sympathetic depictions of heroic English soldiers influenced and affected his readers, as his poetry is often written in an uncomplicated, yet sensitive style, which allows readers to feel as if they are witnessing events almost as the poet writes them down. These poems are also intriguing to read if you are a Shakespeare fan, as it is possible to spot many Shakespeare references in Housman's writing. A glossary or footnotes at the back of this book would be appreciated in any further editions, in order to allow readers to gain more understanding of the other poets and authors that Housman was influenced by. In brief, this collection presents the literary highlights of Housman's career, and this will be most appreciated by readers new to Housman's poetry.
A.M. Klein: Original Poems 1937-1955 and Poetry Translations
by A. M. Klein Zailig PollockIt is for his poetry that A.M. Klein is best known and most warmly remembered. This collection includes all Klein's poetry, both original works and translations from Hebrew, Yiddish, Aramaic, and Latin. Many of them, coming from all periods of his careers, have never been published.The poems are arranged chronologically according to date of composition. This makes possible, for the first time, an appreciation of Klein's poetic development. The editor's introduction places this development in the perspective of Klein's life and time, and in particular explores Klein's lifelong struggle to reconcile his dual vocations as both a Jewish and a modernist writer.The textual apparatus identifies all authoritative versions for each poem and lists all emendations and all substative variants in both published and mauscript versions. The explanatory notes gloss obscure terms and references. They also provide a rich context for appreciation and interpretation by drawing connections with Klein's life, his wide reading, and his work as a whole. Wherever possible, Klein's own numerous, but scattered, comments on his poems have been cited.
AGIMAT: ‘Spellbinding’ – Guardian
by Romalyn Ante'An alchemical wonder of a poet' Fiona Benson, author of Vertigo & Ghost'Vivid, lyrical, and always surprising . . . Both a balm and a call to action' Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the FallA sparkling new collection from Romalyn Ante, nurse and prizewinning poet, moving between the Philippines and Wolverhampton, myth and the grind of the present-day NHS.'this charms the buried light of stars –this deflects bullets – this unblooms a war – 'In some Filipino clans, parents pass down to each child an AGIMAT, an amulet, in the hope its magic will protect and empower them. At the dawn of the pandemic, the poet – a practising nurse in the NHS – is thrown onto the frontlines of the war against COVID-19.Past conflicts swim into the now. When she falls in love with a man of Japanese heritage, it forces a reckoning with her family’s suffering under Japan’s brutal wartime occupation of the Philippines. Elsewhere, we meet the irrepressible goddess Mebuyan, who, in Philippine myth, nurses the spirits of children in the underworld. Here, she watches over young people in crisis – a girl who can’t stop cutting herself, a teenager who has leapt from a railway viaduct.These are poems of strength and solace; they question what it means to fight, and what it takes to heal.

Abandoned Poems
by Stanley MossStanley Moss is ninety-three years old, still kicking sixty-two-yard field goals through the uprights of American poetry. His Abandoned Poems (Paul Valery wrote, "A poem is never finished, only abandoned") consists of 120 pages of new work written since his 2016 prize-winning book, Almost Complete Poems. The truth is Moss has a unique voice in the history of American poetry. He honors the English language. This book is full of invisible life-giving discoveries the reader has almost seen, and you might say Moss has discovered a new continent, a new planet or two--or simply it's fun. There is a final section, "Apocrypha and Long Abandoned Poems," which includes early misplaced work never published, and new versions of previously published poems. Bingo.

About Crows
by Craig BlaisAn unsentimental and at times disquieting first collection, the poems ofAbout Crowsexcavate self, family, race, location, sex, art, and religion to uncover the artifacts of a succession of traumas that the speaker does not always experience firsthand but carries with him to refashion into some new importance. This is a book of half-states, broken affiliations, and dislocation. The speaker leads the reader through the fragments of a flooded town that grows increasingly elusive the more one looks for it; through a succession of Seoul "love motels" that further displace the outsider to unclaimed margins transformed into sites of creative invention; through "galleries" of artwork, where movement, color, and image are renewed through ekphrasis; and through the world of the metatextual long poem "The Cult Poem," where good and bad moral binaries tangle into a rat's nest of our best and worst spiritual ambitions. The poems and sequences ofAbout Crowsare marked by their artistic balance of the sublime and the profane, of polyphony, syntactical complexity, clashing images, cagey humor, and unsettling sincerity, all trying desperately to connect.
Above Ground
by Clint SmithA remarkable poetry collection with "inextinguishable generosity and abundant wisdom" (Monica Youn) from Clint Smith, the #1 New York Times bestselling and National Book Critics Circle award-winning author of How the Word Is Passed. Clint Smith&’s vibrant and compelling new collection traverses the vast emotional terrain of fatherhood, and explores how becoming a parent has recalibrated his sense of the world. There are poems that interrogate the ways our lives are shaped by both personal lineages and historical institutions. There are poems that revel in the wonder of discovering the world anew through the eyes of your children, as they discover it for the first time. There are poems that meditate on what it means to raise a family in a world filled with constant social and political tumult. Above Ground wrestles with how we hold wonder and despair in the same hands, how we carry intimate moments of joy and a collective sense of mourning in the same body. Smith&’s lyrical, narrative poems bring the reader on a journey not only through the early years of his children&’s lives, but through the changing world in which they are growing up—through the changing world of which we are all a part.Above Ground is a breathtaking collection that follows Smith's first award-winning book of poetry, Counting Descent.
