Dawn to Twilight: New and Selected Poems
by Daniel Mark EpsteinDrawing from a career of almost fifty years, Daniel Mark Epstein's collection of new and selected poems forms a lyrical autobiography of its author as a poet and a man. Dawn to Twilight examines universal themes such as love and aging, happiness and despair, each of which Epstein approaches differently throughout the decades of his writing career. These poems encapsulate the evolution of Epstein's work, with the passage of time itself forming a crucial theme as the author grows from student to lover to father. Epstein's poems evince his deep empathy for people from all walks of life: a knife salesman who harbors no illusions about the use to which his wares have been put; a teacher who watches his student struggle with a thorny philosophical question; a genie whose plans of revenge fade as he emerges from his lamp into the light. Dawn to Twilight celebrates the coming of joy and beauty, accepts their transience, and elegizes their passing.

Day Unto Day: Poems
by Martha CollinsThe William Carlos Williams Award–winning poet shares a new collection of “musically brilliant, psychologically intricate” meditations on time (Kevin Prufer).This hauntingly spare and subtle poetry collection consists of six sequences: during one month each year, for six years, Martha Collins wrote a short poem each day. With perfectly distilled lines, she captures the aching, liminal beauty of one day becoming another—the slow burn of time passing, the ambiguity of an “old / new leaf” turning over, even as she collages a wide range of material that includes often disturbing news of the world.Writing in the tradition of poetic meditation, Collins shows us the full degree of her mastery—a mature voice, poems with tremendous scope, and lines exceptionally controlled. Here is the work of a seasoned poet at the height of her career.

Daybreak: New and Selected Poems
by Claire MalrouxA bilingual collection of poetry, from elegies to poem memoirs, by a revered French master.For more than four decades Claire Malroux has blazed a unique path in contemporary French poetry. She is influenced by such French poets as Mallarmé and Yves Bonnefoy, but her work also bears the mark, and this is unusual in France, of Anglophone poets like Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bishop, and Derek Walcott. A prominent translator of poetry from English into French, Malroux is one of those rare poets whose work is informed by a day-to-day intimacy with a second language in its greatest variations and subtleties. Her poems move between an intense but philosophical and abstract interiority and an acute engagement with the material world. This bilingual selection by the award-winning poet and translator Marilyn Hacker presents Malroux&’s oeuvre, from her early lyric poems to an excerpt from A Long-Gone Sun—a poem-memoir of life in southern France before and during World War II—to new and uncollected poems, including an elegiac sequence written after the death of her life partner, the writer Pierre Silvain.
Dayo
by Marc PerezAn elegant debut collection that illuminates the contours of un/belonging. Dayo: a Tagalog word referring to someone who exists in a place not their own. A wanderer, migrant worker, exile or simply a stranger. At its core, the poems in Dayo interrogate whether belonging can exist in a society suffused with violence. Here, the poet, as a stranger, confronts the politics of recognition by offering his vision. Reflexive and lyrical, this collection embodies the true curiosity and tenacious spirit of a dayo seeking a place to replant, tend, and grow delicate roots.
Days & Days: Poems
by Michael DickmanAn exhilarating and far-ranging meditation on days and how we live in them in the twenty-first century, from the award-winning poet.Michael Dickman's intuitive, agile verse captures us in its unusual pulse. Image-driven and shape-driven, the poems of Days & Days touch on parenthood, childhood, local natural habitats, graffiti culture, roses, and romantic love. Dickman considers both the internal and external vistas that open before him in the course of a day, the memories and the immediate quandaries. The long centerpiece poem, "Lakes Rivers Streams," is a reverie that picks up the flotsam of parenting days on its current. Other poems account for hotel days, or days spent watching TV, taking prescription drugs, watching butterflies. Throughout, we feel the dazzling originality of Dickman's awareness; he meets the brutality, banality, and strange beauty of the quotidian with a level gaze, and with an urgent musicality that carries us beyond these lines and pages.
Days Into Flatspin: Poems
by Ken BabstockDays into Flatspin is Ken Babstock's extraordinary second collection and it reveals a poet in full flight, fearless and technically brilliant. Diving into and then beyond what is seen or the coma of looking as one poem calls it, Babstock veers into the inner core of things, animals, and places through portals that exist all around us -- clothing, banisters, marshes, locks, wounds. And these are always entry points, always a means by which to go forward and further into, forcing decisions about whether to continue on or retreat and revealing that we rarely have any choice at all. Babstock opens everything to investigation, rupturing the limitations of the eye and the strictures of the poetic form: a sonnet is built from a Frisbee game, a love poem inspired by a cow, a gash inhabited by a field of crickets. And throughout his poetic landscape is a solitary bird -- watching, passing overhead, biding time, always present. Days into Flatspin is a soaring collection.
Days of Wonder
by Grace SchulmanAttesting to Grace Schulman's gifts for her craft, Days of Wonder collects verse spanning nearly three decades, including ten new poems and selections from the poet's four previous collections. Schulman's well-crafted lyrics contain equal portions of reverence and lament, praise and joy. Many of her poems communicate a sense of wonder at the beauty of the world, with references to painters and poets and religion. As William Stafford has written, Schulman "renews our faith in ourselves and in the language we use for finding each other."

De Profundis and Other Prison Writings
by Oscar WildeDe Profundis and Other Prison Writings is a new selection of Oscar Wilde's prison letters and poetry in Penguin Classics, edited and introduced by Colm Tóibín.At the start of 1895, Oscar Wilde was the toast of London, widely feted for his most recent stage success, An Ideal Husband. But by May of the same year, Wilde was in Reading prison sentenced to hard labour. 'De Profundis' is an epistolic account of Oscar Wilde's spiritual journey while in prison, and describes his new, shocking conviction that 'the supreme vice is shallowness'. This edition also includes further letters to his wife, his friends, the Home Secretary, newspaper editors and his lover Lord Alfred Douglas - Bosie - himself, as well as 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol', the heart-rending poem about a man sentenced to hang for the murder of the woman he loved. This Penguin edition is based on the definitive Complete Letters, edited by Wilde's grandson Merlin Holland. Colm Tóibín's introduction explores Wilde's duality in love, politics and literature. This edition also includes notes on the text and suggested further reading. Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin. His three volumes of short fiction, The Happy Prince, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and A House of Pomegranates, together with his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, won him a reputation as a writer with an original talent, a reputation enhanced by the phenomenal success of his society comedies - Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest. Colm Tóibín is the author of five novels, including The Blackwater Lightship and The Master, and a collection of stories, Mothers and Sons. His essay collection Love in a Dark Time: Gay Lives from Wilde to Almodovar appeared in 2002. He is the editor of The Penguin Book of Irish Fiction.

De la finitud
by Günter GrassDe la finitud es el libro póstumo, la despedida del Premio Nobel de Literatura y Premio Príncipe de Asturias, Günter Grass. «Günter Grass nos ha dejado un conmovedor regalo de despedida. Creo que una vez más consiguió algo grande. Ha creado con su última obra de arte un impresionante juego de poesía, prosa e ilustración.»Gerhard Steidl (editor de Günter Grass) Entre diario, ensayo y poesía, y profusamente ilustrado por él mismo, De la finitud es el libro que Günter Grass escribió durante sus últimos años. En él hallamos la lúcida mirada, alejada de toda melancolía, de un hombre que se enfrenta a la muerte con ironía, en poemas como «Autorretrato» o «Adiós a la carne», al tiempo que sigue analizando el mundo que le rodea. Desfilan bajo su pluma llena de sabiduría, lirismo y humor los hechos y personajes más diversos, desde la crisis griega («La luz al final del túnel») ala canciller Angela Merkel («Mamá»). Un delicado regalo de despedida, un libro imprescindible. Reseñas:«Es un libro para la reflexión serena y el placer por las cosas profundas y bien hechas [...]. No todo el mundo sabe irse de la vida sin amargura, dejando a sus congéneres, a modo de propina literaria, un obsequio como este De la finitud.»Fernando Aramburu, El Mundo «Günter Grass escribió un último libro poético y conmovedor, íntimo y político, necesario. Uno de sus mejores libros.»Patricio Pron, Babelia «Un texto póstumo a modo de despedida preparado con mimo por el autor hasta sus últimos detalles... La constatación de la decadencia física se da la mano con una fuerte dosis de humor negro.»Elena Hevia, El Periódico de Catalunya «De la finitud es la última expresión viva de uno de los magos de un idioma mágico, el alemán.»Luis Meana, ABC Cultural «De la finitud es el mejor libro de Grass en años. Su muerte deja una obra distinta a todas las demás.»Jens Dirksen, Hamburger Abendblatt «Es una obra conmovedora y por momentos encantadora.»Heinrich Detering, Presidente de la Academia Alemana de Lengua y Literatura «De la finitud es una sólida obra póstuma de poesía, prosa y dibujos. Melancólico pero nunca sentimental. La franqueza de Günter Grass es admirable.»Friedmar Apel, Frankfurter Allgemeine «Una despedida llena de humor. El libro como una obra de arte, el libro como un libro, el último de Grass. Se ve el rastro de un hombre viejo que ha luchado ya sus batallas.»Volker Weidermann, Spiegel «Su último libro es francamente conciliador. De la finitud no es moralizador, es inusualmente autocrítico.»Burkhard Müller, Süddeutsche Zeitung «De la finitud es íntimo, melancólico, fanfarrón y alegre.»Matthias Hoening, Stern «Una obra de arte. De la finitud está lleno de una sensibilidad inusual y de una sana dosis de ironía y humor.»Jochen Kürten, DW. com

De todos los Lírios: La poesía y la prosa que consagran esos momentos, lugares e individuos indelebles
by R. A. BentinckEn De todos los lirios, Bentinck “… libera a cada mujer para que se adueñe libremente de su sexualidad, ayudándola a apreciar que ella es mucho más que bragas y sostenes, pero que es digna del amor cotidiano. Señoras, todos necesitamos mantener esto cerca de la mesa de noche, ¡no se arrepentirán! Pero como mujer que a menudo se veía desafiada por muchas incertidumbres sociales y emocionales, la Reina natural de Bentinck fue liberadora y tranquilizadora; uno que me rescató de las inseguridades arraigadas durante mucho tiempo y la baja autoestima hacia esa búsqueda de "belleza natural impresionante". Para todas mis Hermanas en la encrucijada, el Sr. Bentinck nos ha dado un enfoque para que todos experimenten esas experiencias memorables, desaten nuestra belleza interior y emociones, repare y eleve cada alma confundida o rota. ¡Gracias, Randy! "
De viva voz: Conferencias y alocuciones
by Federico García LorcaLa totalidad de los textos escritos por Federico García Lorca para ser leídos en voz alta: conferencias, alocuciones e intervenciones públicas. Federico García Lorca es uno de los poetas y dramaturgos más célebres de nuestra literatura, y su amplia obra ha sido representada, leída, editada y estudiada desde que el poeta fue asesinado en 1936. Sin embargo, son poco conocidas sus conferencias y presentaciones en público, un conjunto que se ha publicado de forma muy dispersa. Este volumen presenta por primera vez la totalidad de esas charlas y alocuciones, e incluye algunos textos inéditos de su madurez. Escritos para ser léidos en voz alta, todos tienen la particularidad de mostrarnos las preocupaciones estéticas y sociales del gran autor granadino, acercándonos a su pensamiento de un modo fresco y directo. La edición está a cargo de Jesús Ortega y Víctor Fernández, quien ha editado de 2017 en adelante la biblioteca Lorca en Debolsillo, con una mirada renovadora de obras que parecían ya muy conocidas.
De vuelta del mar: Antología poética
by Robert L. StevensonUna antología poética de Robert Louis Stevenson con una selección y traducción de Javier Marías. «Aquí yace donde quiso yacer;de vuelta del mar está el marinero,de vuelta del monte está el cazador.» Luis Antonio de Villena advierte que el nombre de Robert Louis Stevenson se suele asociar a cuatro cosas: la prosa, las aventuras, la enfermedad y la lucha contra ésta, así como el exotismo. Muchos añadirían también la adolescencia como demuestra, dice Villena, tanto la propia obra de Stevenson como el recuerdo biográfico de muchos de sus lectores. No obstante, los sesenta y seis poemas que conforman este volumen revelan otra faceta desconocida y fascinante del autor de La isla del tesoro, la del poeta. Javier Marías ha llevado a cabo una minuciosa selección de los poemas más valiosos y destacados de Stevenson y presenta una magnífica traducción. La introducción de Luis Antonio de Villena acompaña la lectura de los poemas.
