Winner of the 2023 Marsh Hawk Press Poetry Prize. Contest Judge Mary Jo Bang wrote: "Unputdownable, as in 'so gripping as to be read right through at one sitting.'"

After the long hardships of the Trojan War, Odysseus is on his way home. But since the Gods in Olympos are still mad at Odysseus, they put lots of obstacles in his way: The nymph Calypso, Circe, Cyclops, the deadly Scylla and Charybdis - only the ever-cunning Odysseus is able to survive all these deadly traps. Finally, he makes it home, all by himself, at last. However, the story doesn't end there. In his house, there is a host of wooers who want to marry his faithful wife Penelope; they eat all his food, they drink his best wine, and they conspire to kill his son Telemachus.

This collection of poems explores the themes of love, healing, and personal growth through various stages of relationships. Each poem reflects the emotional journey from loneliness to finding connection and intimacy.

Om at rejse væk og betale 300.000 for at få opereret en vingemuskel ud fra ryggen og omformet til en pik. Om at rejse hjem med ar og et nyt stykke kød mellem benene. Om at have set et stjerneskud som barn og ønsket sig en supersoaker eller at blive en dreng. Om angsten ved at leve i en krop man ikke rigtig kender indholdet af og udløbsdatoen på.

An age-old subject is given new perspectives in Blossomise, a collection with change at its heart. Blossomise celebrates the ecstatic arrival of spring blossom just as it acknowledges, too, its melancholic disappearance. From a crashed Ford Capri wrapped around the immovable trunk of a cherry tree, to saplings flourishing among skyscrapers and urban sprawl, the fizz and froth of the annual blossom display is explored here both as an exuberant emblem of the natural world and a nervous marker of our vulnerable climate.

Hannah Sullivan's first collection, Three Poems , won the T. S. Eliot Prize and the inaugural John Pollard International Poetry Prize. Was It for This continues that book's project, offering a trenchant exploration of the ways in which we attempt to map our lives in space and time. But there is also the wider, collective experience to contend with, the upheaval of historic event and present disaster. 'Tenants', the first poem, is an elegy for Grenfell, written from the uneasy perspective of a new mother living a few streets away.

Fué una clara tarde, triste y soñolienta, del lento verano. La hiedra asomaba al muro del parque, negra y polvorienta... Lejana una fuente riente sonaba.

With a rich and informative introduction from Emily Wilson, maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, genealogies, extensive notes, and helpful summaries of each book, this gorgeous edition of Rome’s founding poem will capture the imaginations and stir the souls of a new generation of listeners.

Mesopotopia explores the vast sweep of our accelerating, precipitous world. From the cradle to the grave, from the mysterious poetic origins of Mesopotamia to our own dystopias of the twenty-first century, Anne Waldman crafts a singular, radical investigation into the syncretic layers of quantum space and dreamtime.

The poems in Flying Yellow cry out for the day just out of reach, the day which unaccountably may in a moment or a season let down a joyful light into the obscurity of human trial. A hopeful belief in heaven and the end of suffering colors these profoundly spiritual, often uneasy, poems. Carried by musical currents that shape her work, Rhodes ventures into what she calls "the good dark stuff" of experience—good because the dark is where Christ went, willingly, to take it captive.

Chaos. The disrupotor of the plans of our lives. It can destroy us, only to rebuild us into something else. In the Chaos of Me, Patrick S. Smith explains, in verse, the events that have shaped his life and his philosophy. From the highs of adopting a child, celebrating events, and the pain of September 11, 2001, he puts his feelings into words. Mixed in are his self-reflections and his wit, which can be chaotic.

An autobiographical novel in verse. What do you do when your dreams don’t pay the rent? Told through poetic snapshots, ROCKSTAR is the raw, restless journey of a young artist chasing purpose, connection, and a dream that won’t let go. From New York to Philly to LA, this is a mixtape of dead-end jobs, midnight studio sessions, and the holy delusion it takes to keep going. Told in fractured verse and fevered fragments, Kia Orion’s voice is sharp and tender, soaked in hip-hop, heartbreak, and homesickness. For anyone who’s ever risked it all to make something beautiful… This one’s for you.

GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there — truly awful. This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides of the Political spectrum. I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war is horrific.

Within these shadowed halls and moonlit gardens, a different kind of love story unfolds. "Velvet & Bone" is a collection of 101 poems dedicated to the beauty of darkness, the comfort of melancholy, and a love that transcends time itself.

How I Hope to Reach You is a collection of raw and reflective poetry about survival, identity, grief, and growth. These poems are not polished performances. They are personal truths written out of necessity. This collection was made for those still figuring it out, still trying, still hurting. Inside are words for when you need to feel understood, for when you need to feel less alone. If you have ever needed something to hold on to, this book offers a hand. These are poems written by someone who is still here, reaching out, hoping you will take it.

Former poet laureate of Belfast, Maine, Afrofuturist/Oro-shamanic poet and bass clarinetist Toussaint St. Negritude dazzles with this debut collection of poems, featuring an ensemble of cosmic tones the late Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks once called “full of sweet sounds and surprises.”

Discover the timeless art of Haiku in HAIKU: Heart Healing Poetry by Michelle Amato, a heartfelt collection of three-line poetry inspired by the beauty of nature and the transformative power of words. Guided by her 3rd-grade teacher, Miss Sasa, Michelle found healing and solace in writing Haiku at a young age. This book is her tribute to that life-changing experience. At its core, HAIKU: Heart Healing Poetry offers more than poetry—it’s an invitation to slow down, connect with the world around you, and embrace the magic of the moment.

Michelle Torez's third poetry collection is an unflinching commentary on a society in crisis. Torez navigates the labyrinth of identity in a world that often renders individuals as mere echoes in a crowd. "The Vultures Are Circling" is an evocative journey through the corridors of the human psyche—a testament to the resilience of the soul in the face of displacement and the quest for forgiveness and understanding in a complex and often cruel world.

"The Things That Hold: Stories We All Share" is a simple verse tribute to the moments we all share and agree on, regardless of all other differences we may have. If you want an “us vs. them" book, this ain’t it. There are too many of those already. This book is all “us” and no “them.” Moments like: How it feels to hold your newborn child for the first time. How it feels when the voice on the 3am phone call says “you need to sit down.” How it feels to walk away and start all over. How it feels to watch someone you love get married. How it feels to bury your hero.

That's right—we've packed 50 hilarious, head-scratching, and downright weird limericks into one tidy volume. This isn't your grandfather's poetry; it's a fresh, modern take on the classic form, crafted to bring a smile to your face and a rhythm to your day.
