Drypoint Bok
<p>Jamie McKendrick's <i>Drypoint</i> depicts the turbulent present with incisive detail while often taking us back to an equally conflictual Biblical or classical world. Acute and stoical in tone, these poems transport us by bus or ferry or ghostly Rolls Royce to the cobbled streets of Ferrara, the once-Greek port of Smyrna, the bombed acres of Liverpool and Mariupol, and to places not to be found on any map, places where 'North was south, being lost like this'.<br/><br/>Like his 'immigrant muntjac' the poet disregards walls and fences and breaks through 'the borders of our ruled enclosures'. The presence of translations from poets ancient and modern is another example of the way space and time are here collapsed and reconfigured in a language rich with associations, historical and vernacular.</p>

The Owl And The Nightingale Bok
<p><b>Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry</b><br/><br/>In this 'graceful, elegant translation' (Guardian), Poet Laureate Simon Armitage communicates the energy and humour of the Middle English tale with all the cut and thrust of the original. An unnamed narrator overhears a fiery verbal contest between the two eponymous birds, which moves entertainingly from the eloquent and philosophical to the ribald and ridiculous.<br/><br/><b>'Arguably the greatest early Middle English poem we have.' Prospect</b></p>

Not Waving But Drowning And Other Poems Bok
<p><b>'Cheerful, brutal, beautiful! Stevie Smith is the wildest poet of them all</b>.' <i>Nick Cave</i><br/><br/>Stevie Smith was not only a famous poet in her lifetime but a poet <i>before </i>her time, a radical eccentric who relished the performance of poetry as spoken word (before that was a thing). The poems are distinctly unsentimental as she casts the 'eye of an anarchist' over propriety and convention, finding comedy in the tragic and tragedy in the comic. She asks the questions we don't have the nous or courage to ask, speaking for the lonely, the troubled and the trapped, and for any of us who at one time or another have imagined ourselves not waving but drowning.<br/><br/>'Variety and inventiveness, much humour and understanding, and a constant poignancy. . . Death, waste, loneliness, cruelty, the maimed, the stupid, the trusting - her concerns were central ones, her compassion genuine.' Seamus Heaney<br/><br/>'Her poems speak with the authority of sadness.' Philip Larkin<br/><br/>'I better say straight out that I am an addict of your poetry, a desperate Smith addict.'<br/>Sylvia Plath, Letter to Stevie Smith, 19 November 1963<br/><br/>'Revolutionary, wild, and fierce.' Ali Smith</p>

Duino Elegies Bok
In 1931, Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press published a small run of a beautiful edition of Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies, in English translation by the writers Vita and Edward Sackville-West. This marked the English debut of Rilke's masterpiece, which would eventually be rendered in English over 20 times, influencing countless poets, musicians and artists across the English-speaking world. Published for the first time in 90 years, the Sackville-Wests' translation is both a fascinating historical document and a magnificent blank-verse rendering of Rilke's poetry cycle. Featuring a new introduction from critic Lesley Chamberlain, this reissue casts one of European literature's great masterpieces in fresh light.

Autobiography Of Red Bok
<p>Tormented as a boy by his brother, Geryon escapes to a parallel world of photography. He falls deeply in love with Herakles, a golden young man, who deserts him at the peak of infatuation. So Geryon retreats ever further into the world created by his camera, fascinated by his wings, his redness and the fantastic accident of who he is. But all is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by Herakles' return. Autobiography of Red is a deceptively simple narrative filled with currents of meaning, emotion, and the truth about what it's like to be red. An extraordinary, modern epic poem - moving, disturbing and delightful.</p>
