This groundbreaking collection draws together for the first time Mayakovsky's key translators from the 1930s to the present day, bringing some remarkable works back into print in the process and introducing poems which have never before been translated.

The ninety-six Anglo-Saxon riddles in the eleventh-century "Exeter Book" are poems of great charm, zest, and subtlety. This volume contains the author's translations of seventy-five riddles while a further sixteen are translated in the notes.

Renowned for his Beat Generation novel "On the Road", Jack Kerouac was also a master of the haiku, the three-line, seventeen-syllable Japanese poetic form. Written by a Kerouac scholar, this work supplements a core haiku manuscript from Kerouac's archives with a generous selection of the rest of his haiku, from various sources.

This is a signed limited edition of 90 beautiful books, hand-bound and slipcased by the Fine Book Bindery in flecked maroon Dubletta cloth with Fabriano Tiziano endpapers. There has only ever been one other Geoffrey Hill SLE printed, making this a rare opportunity for poetry afficionados and collectors alike.

These new poems by Martha Kapos constitute an attempt to retrieve someone whose loss has been experienced through illness and finally death. Often the viewpoints are visual ones; in every case metaphor is the guiding principal in The Likeness, which addresses how a figure is brought back to life through a process whose essence is poetic.

A collection of translations of the author who was awarded the Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres in recognition of his profound contribution to French literature and art.

Includes poems which show us dealing well and also very badly with our kind and with the rest of the living planet. This title reminds us how funny people are, how vulnerable, lovable, bizarre and heroic.

Draws on Jeremy Hooker's poetry written over a period of forty years. This book shows the development of a poetry concerned with nature and history and the spirit of place, and comprises both formal variety and the 'art of seeing' which relates Hooker to an important tradition of British and American poetry.

In July 1943, the young Welsh poet and soldier Alun Lewis arrived on sick leave at the house near Madras of Freda Aykroyd, a devotee of literature. Lewis and Aykroyd fell in love instantly. Their affair inspired some of the finest of his wartime poems as well as a cache of letters. This work publishes those letters.

Michael Longley's prose centres on poetry, even when he is writing autobiographically, or reflecting on war and memory. Readers of his poetry have lacked access to his aesthetic thinking. Sidelines fills the gap by assembling prose that ranges from his youthful poetry reviews, to the lectures he gave as Ireland Professor of Poetry.

This anthology marks the 50th anniversary of Enitharmon Press. Not a long period of time, in historical terms - but to have sustained and developed an independent publishing house over the course of half a century, in radically shifting technological, social and political contexts, is a formidable achievement.

An anthology of Christmas card poems.

Illustrated biography with never before published photographs and letters, marking Edward Thomas's centenary.

Marking the centenary of his death, this critical study explores Edward Thomas's influence on emergent 'modern poetry' as both critic and lyricist.

Simon Armitage - poet, playwright, broadcaster and Professor of Poetry at Oxford University - has been commissioned by 14-18 Now to write a sequence of poems in response to photographs (aerial, oblique and panoramic) of areas associated with the Battle of the Somme, which took place on the Western Front between July to November 1916.

Biography of the influential, lesser known member of the W.H. Auden circle. Peter Stansky tells the fascinating story of Edward Upward's conflict between art and life. At the same time he colourfully provides significant insight into English society during the twentieth century and explores the special nature of English radicalism.

This collection surveys the culture of arctic Greenland from prehistory to the present, with a focus on the hardships experienced by indigenous communities under colonial rule during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

In her fourth collection, Hilary Davies embarks on pilgrimage - poetic, religious, psychological. Using a dazzling interplay of narrative and lyric line, she travels through real and imagined territory in search of answers to the great questions which preoccupy us as human beings.

'In the Orchard' is not so much a collection of poems about birds as a book of memories and rare moments in which a number of familiar birds have played a spark-like role in bringing poems about. They are chiefly lyrical in character and range in time from 'Resurrection' written over fifty years ago to recent poems like 'The Bully Thrush'.

These 81 brief poems from the 5th century BCE make up a foundational text in world culture. Martyn Crucefix's superb new versions in English reflect - for the very first time - the radical fluidity of the original Chinese texts as well as placing the mysterious 'dark' feminine power at their heart.

Berowne's Book was written by U. A. Fanthorpe before she began to write the poetry that was to make her reputation as one of England's most popular contemporary poets. Hilarious, tender, profound and deeply humane, this series of snapshots of hospital life in the 1970s shocks partly because so much is immediately familiar today.

This is the second poem to appear from among a small set entitled The Calendar.

Lucy Newlyn adapts the tradition of the 'Shepherd's Calendar' to the phases of grief, condensing a long process of reflection and remembering into the passage of a single year. In these intense expressions of love and loss, anger and guilt, there is no smooth path towards consolation.

Now that he is eighty-four, Anthony Thwaite says that Going Out is likely to be the last book of poems he publishes in his lifetime, and that the title is apt. The poems range over times and places, commemorating friends (especially the poet Peter Porter), and draw on memories, hard-won faith, self-questioning.

Letters Against the Firmament is a user's report on the end of the world, a treatise against Tory terror, a proposal for a new zodiac, a defence of poetry, a hex against the devourers of planet earth. The Letters are fierce epistolary poems, a vivid account of the sheer panic and brutality of the Austerity years.

Myra Schneider's new collection brings a fresh sense of reality to some well-known images. Colour is the keynote of the book, moving through Matisse, Hockney, Chagall; sound too, in Mahler and Beethoven. Often we find skin-deep assumptions turned around.
