Everyday, the World Would End is a modern poetry collection that examines the darker parts of depression, the everyday struggles that come with anxiety, and how it really feels to deal with self-hatred on a regular basis. This collection is deeply personal to the author, but she hopes that by revealing her worst moments, someone else will find a way through theirs, that someone else will know that they are not alone in their darkest emotions, and that someone will realize life happens wherever you are, and there is always a way to survive it.

Good-bye, hello, welcome, and good night. Introducing the wonderful world of Sir Silly. He was born before time, and so he has no time for such time that was before that time. He thinks in rhyme and always lets his imagination dance freely. Sir Silly is all he can be, to be as silly as he can. Sir Silly is very serious about being silly.

Das Dasein ästhetisch rechtfertigen – und sich dabei zuschauen. Oder sich eingestehen, dass man eigentlich gar nicht versteht, was in der Welt geschieht. Oder das Ganze herumdrehen: Nicht-Verstehen als ethische Grundlage eines Lebens betrachten. Wie wäre es mit einer Poesie der Gleichgültigkeit? Einer Haltung, die dennoch nichts unberührt lässt – wäre dies ein erster Schritt? Und wohin? Willi van Hengel hat einen Reigen seiner bisher erschienenen Texte komponiert.

Кавказский пленник - первая из цикла южных байронических поэм А. С. Пушкина (1799–1837). В основу сюжета положен романтический топос страстной любви разочарованного, мятежного героя (пленного русского офицера) к детям природы, не испорченным цивилизацией (их представляет прекрасная черкешенка). Эта лирическая тема подана на эпическом фоне: красоты безбрежного Кавказа, экзотической жизни горцев, Кавказская война.

Toda la obra de Federico García Lorca está rodeada de misterio, toda vez que las balas asesinas de Franco le arrebataron la vida. Y aún más aquellas partes de su obra que podemos considerar inacabadas. Es el caso de Sonetos del amor oscuro, el único texto conocido en el que el poeta habla abiertamente del amor entre dos hombres. Once composiciones de una belleza inigualable, escritas durante el último año de su vida, que no sabemos si iban a formar parte de un determinado conjunto o de qué forma Lorca las había concebido.

Tradotte magistralmente da Silvia Bre per la Collezione di poesia Einaudi, queste Centoquattro poesie attraversano il percorso poetico...

"Costernazione" rappresenta l'animo affranto del poeta. Descrive, quindi, la pena del poeta, il quale si ritrova solo e stranito in un "evo" che egli percepisce "disanimato", in cui perfino l'aria ha perso la sua antica linfa vitale, di cui egli ricorda le magnifiche fragranze bucoliche portatrici di benessere fisico e psicologico. Cosicché, egli si costerna nella consapevolezza di trovarsi in un'epoca priva di beltà.

Y si estoy aquí,No es porque sé caminar o porque al norte Le brillan los ojos, el corazón no sabe deEsas cosas, y esta vez, yo lo he seguido...Aquí estoyY desconozco la forma en que me pasa,Podría lastimarme horas y horas,Y aunque las palomas, y aunque el trenRuidoso de mi pueblo intente despertarme,No conseguirían más que atarmeDe pies y manos, para tu memoria.Aquí estoy y me quedo.No seré nunca más el mismo.

Set in 1981 Guatemala, a lyrical debut novel tells the powerful tale of a boy who must decide what it means to be a man during a time of war. Carlos knows that when the soldiers arrive with warnings about the Communist rebels, it is time to be a man and defend the village, keep everyone safe. But Mama tells him not yet - he’s still her quiet moonfaced boy. The soldiers laugh at the villagers, and before they move on, a neighbor is found dangling from a tree, a sign on his neck: Communist.

A poetic and inspiring tribute to the beauty and wonder of America's history, landscape, and symbols. With wonderfully spare, deceptively simple verses, Sarvinder Naberhaus has composed a lyrical celebration of the iconic imagery of our nation, beginning with the American flag. Each spread depicts a richly evocative tableau, from the view of the Statue of Library at Ellis Island to civil rights marchers banded together, to a spacecraft at Cape Canaveral blasting off. This book is an ode to America then and now, from sea to shining sea.
