"In this comprehensive and vibrant poetry anthology, author and poet Kwame Alexander curates a collection of contemporary anthems at turns tender and piercing and deeply inspiring throughout. Featuring work from well-loved poets such as Rita Dove, Jericho Brown, Warsan Shire, Ross Gay, Tracy K. Smith, Terrance Hayes, Morgan Parker, and Nikki Giovanni, This Is the Honey is a rich and abundant offering of language from the poets giving voice to generations of resilient joy, "each incantation," as Mahogany L. Browne puts it in her titular poem, is "a jubilee of a people dreaming wildly." This essential collection, in the tradition of Dudley Randall's The Black Poets and E. Ethelbert Miller's In Search of Color Everywhere, contains poems exploring joy, love, origin, race, resistance, and praise. Jacqueline A.Trimble likens "Black woman joy" to indigo, tassels, foxes, and peacock plumes. Tyree Daye, Nate Marshall, and Elizabeth Acevedo reflect on the meaning of "home" through food, from Cuban rice and beans to fried chicken gizzards. Clint Smith and Cameron Awkward-Rich enfold us in their intimate musings on love and devotion."--

Derhjemme har Mads og hans kæreste en længsel efter at blive forældre. Det lykkes ikke og en langvarig fertilitetsbehandling tager sin begyndelse. I min hule hånd er en fortælling om at være menneske i forskellige relationer: På arbejdspladsen, i parforholdet og i hospitalsvæsenet. Og ikke mindst: I sit eget selskab, hvor tvivlen og håbløsheden er størst. Bogen består af en række rørende, absurde og humoristiske digte, der tilsammen udgør den poetiske fortælling.Mads Mygind (f. 1984) debuterede med Før vi har set os omkring (nomineret til Munch-Christensens debutantpris) i 2011 og I min hule hånd er hans syvende udgivelse, den anden på Kronstork.

"From TikTok phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a brand-new collection of poems exploring the cadences of love, loss, grief, and healing. In this exquisite poetry collection, Whitney Hanson, chronicles the loss of a loved one, tracing the progression of grief and healing through the lens of music. We each begin with a simple note, but as life progresses, we're led to the next note, and the next-all of which combine to form the melody of a song and a life. As life becomes more complicated and complex, we find that loss, grief, and heartache can muffle our music, making the world go silent. But as Whitney's poems show, all of these rests and pauses in the music are part of the composition of life, and it is only by moving through the variations that we can find the harmony and grace that come with healing"--

A FINALIST FOR THE PEN/WEST TRANSLATION AWARDThe 100th Anniversary Edition of a global classic, containing beautiful translations along with the original German text.While visiting Russia in his twenties, Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the twentieth century's greatest poets, was moved by a spirituality he encountered there. Inspired, Rilke returned to Germany and put down on paper what he felt were spontaneously received prayers. Rilke's Book of Hours is the invigorating vision of spiritual practice for the secular world, and a work that seems remarkably prescient today, one hundred years after it was written.Rilke's Book of Hours shares with the reader a new kind of intimacy with God, or the divine-a reciprocal relationship between the divine and the ordinary in which God needs us as much as we need God. Rilke influenced generations of writers with his Letters to a Young Poet, and now Rilke's Book of Hours tells us that our role in the world is to love it and thereby love God into being. These fresh translations rendered by Joanna Macy, a mystic and spiritual teacher, and Anita Barrows, a skilled poet, capture Rilke's spirit as no one has done before.

Ikonet Sylvia Plath står lysende klar i den Augustpris-vindende svenske succesroman.I Eufori møder vi Sylvia Plath sidst i tyverne – i hvad der skulle vise sig at blive forfatterens sidste år. Men det er ikke en apatisk fortælling om selvmord. I stedet er det en rasende, tindrende, balstyrisk medrivende historie om moderskab, kvindeliv og kunstnerisk skabelse i ægteskabet med Ted Hughes, der af samtiden blev betragtet som en vigtigere stemme end Plath selv. Hun måtte altid stå tilbage for ham, men hendes indre liv i Cullheds gestaltning viser et lysende intellekt og en forfatter af højeste karat.Cullhed låner sine egne erfaringer fra livet med små børn i kernefamiliens til tider skrækindjagende skød til Sylvia Plath for at skabe et enestående værk, der vil vække genkendelse hos mange læsere, og samtidig er helt sit eget. Elin Cullhed vandt Augustprisen som årets bedste svenske udgivelse med begrundelsen: "I tekstens bankende hjerte ser læseren Sylvia Plath, men også sig selv."
