Poetry

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver presents a personal selection of her best work in this definitive collection spanning more than five decades of her esteemed literary career.

Avan Jogia grew up as a teen idol. He stumbled into the spotlight during the birth of the internet, the early days of Instagram and Twitter, before everyone online was a star. He spent his time in that spotlight writing, observing the cult of celebrity, the hilarity, the absurdity, and sometimes sinister side of being idolized before you’ve even had the chance to decide for yourself who you are. Now, in his most revealing and honest work to date, he has assembled a book of poems as an act of self-dissection.

Poemas escritos entre 1983 y 1986. El poeta mira, imagina, evoca la profecía apocalíptica cumplida durante los dos grandes terremotos de 1985. La desastrosa mañana de aquel septiembre de 1985 "la tierra que destruimos se hizo presente". Un fatídico terremoto demostró "hasta qué punto nos aborrece la tierra: / nos ve como insectos / torturadores que la roen por dentro". Su devastadora venganza puso en evidencia que "es el nombre profundo de la muerte". Los sobrevivientes "¿vamos a hacer / otra ciudad, otro país, otra vida? / De otra manera seguirá el derrumbe".

Siente cada palabra como un latido. Hay dolores que se llevan en el corazón, aunque los demás no puedan verlos; heridas que permanecen abiertas en el alma porque el recuerdo no las deja cicatrizar. Para Gilraen Eärfalas, la mejor manera de sanarlas es a través de la poesía. Esta nueva edición de su aclamado poemario Desfibrilador incluye más de una veintena de nuevos poemas en los que explora la esencia del desamor, afronta el vacío que deja y encuentra una forma de salvarse mediante la escritura. Audiolibro narrado en español neutro.

Poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983, se trata de la bitácora de un sobreviviente de la tempestad que fue el siglo XX. "Todo es efímero y jamás se repite", afirma José Emilio Pacheco para recordarnos la brevedad de nuestro tránsito por la tierra. Asumimos que "el mar se habrá cambiado en desierto / cuando ya no [estemos] aquí para mirarlo y amarlo", pero olvidamos que esa condición fugaz es la que le da un matiz extraordinario a la existencia: "todo es valioso porque todo es irrepetible". Los trabajos del mar reúne poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983.

In this second volume of Dante Alighieri's ageless classic, the *Comedie* (*Commedia*), Vergil and Dante emerge from their upward climb out the lower depths of Hell, at the center of the earth, to find themselves at the shores of the Mountain of Purgatory, exactly opposite Jerusalem in the Hemisphere of Water, where it is the only land below the Equator. Here they encounter other newcome souls and those who are awaiting entry into the punishments.

Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy. William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

A collection of poetry focusing on the fall, being thankful, and remembering why you should say I love you everyday. Soft poetry hoping to heal, do you remember to tell your loved ones I love you everyday?

In the Metamorphoses Ovid retells stories from the Greek myths, arranging them in roughly chronological order, from the origins of the world to his own times. His charming and graceful versions, full of life and interest, express his humanist approach, his feeling for pathos, and his endless curiosity and delight in human affairs. Each tale involves a transformation of some kind, and the whole collection provided a potent source of motifs and images for later art, especially the paintings, sculpture, and verse of the Renaissance.

In the quiet moments between breaths, where memory lingers and time falters, lies a world often unseen—a tapestry woven from the echoes of what is left behind. Unfinished Things invites you to wander through this realm, where absence has shape and silence has voice.

The author describes these poems as "stumblings" because they are stumbling attempts to understand what can seem beyond understanding. In his writing, he confronts the issues that are inescapably a part of being human, as he sees them playing out in the maelstrom of his own life. He takes us into areas of desperation, confusion, even despair, but also of acceptance, fulfilment, ecstasy, obstinate faith, and, above all, of tender love.

There are places where the earth speaks in whispers and roars, where the horizon stretches not just across the vastness of the ocean but deep into the realms of the soul.

The journey of healing occurs simultaneously with the journey of self-discovery, as one continues to understand and embrace who they are, shedding all those things that deter them from becoming their greater self.
