The Flowers of Evil (1857) is a collection of poems by Charles Baudelaire. Translated into English by Cyril Scott in 1909, Baudelaire¿s poems remain lively and idiosyncratic nearly two centuries after they came into existence. Comprised mostly of sonnets and short lyrics, The Flowers of Evil captures Baudelaire¿s sense of the changing role of the poet in modern life. Rather than focus on beauty and other ideals, Baudelaire explores the totality of human experience¿the good, bad, and ugly of life on earth. ¿When by the changeless Power of a Supreme Decree / The poet issues forth upon this sorry sphere, / His mother, horrified, and full of blasphemy, / Uplifts her voice to God, who takes compassion on her.¿ In his opening benediction, Baudelaire reverses the typical trope of invoking the muses or celebrating poetry as a divine gift. Instead, he depicts the poet as a being cursed, a ¿hideous Child of Doom.¿ Childhood for Baudelaire is a subject of particular interest, a time described, in his poem ¿The Enemy,¿ as ¿a ravaging storm, / Enlivened at times by a brilliant sun¿¿ The youthful experience of melancholy clearly informs the poet¿s outlook as an adult: ¿Time devours our lives, / And the enemy black, which consumeth our hearts / On the blood of our bodies, increases and thrives!¿ While much of Baudelaire¿s work deals with darkness and despair, his poems can rise to the heights of celebration and ecstasy, his voice soft and sweet as he invites his sister on a journey to an imagined land of ¿order and loveliness, / Luxury, calm and voluptuousness.¿ Ultimately, Baudelaire¿s vision¿however irreverent¿is guided by truth and morality, which drive him on a torturous path from good to evil, beauty to death, and back. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Flowers of Evil is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Det første orakel i Delfi var for jordens gudinde, Gaia. Det andet orakel var et træ. I al fald i begyndelsen. Du vil opsøge laurbæroraklet. Stemmen vil sige: “Du vil save den gren over, du sidder på.” Og du vil svare: “Jeg ser ikke de store katastrofer for mig.”

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREA haunting new book by a poet whose voice speaks of all our lifetimesLouise Gluck's thirteenth book is among her most haunting. Here as in the Wild Iris there is a chorus, but the speakers are entirely human, simultaneously spectral and ancient. Winter Recipes from the Collective is chamber music, an invitation into that privileged realm small enough for the individual instrument to make itself heard, dolente, its line sustained, carried, and then taken up by the next instrument, spirited, animoso, while at the same time being large enough to contain a whole lifetime, the inconceivable gifts and losses of old age, the little princesses rattling in the back of a car, an abandoned passport, the ingredients of an invigorating winter sandwich, a sister's death, the joyful presence of the sun, its brightness measured by the darkness it casts. "e;Some of you will know what I mean,"e; the poet says, by which she means, some of you will follow me. Hers is the sustaining presence, the voice containing all our lifetimes, "e;all the worlds, each more beautiful than the last."e; This magnificent book couldn't have been written by anyone else, nor could it have been written by the poet at any other time in her life.

An anthology of verse by women poets writing in Persian, most of whom have never been translated into English before, from acclaimed scholar and translator Dick Davis.A Penguin ClassicThe Mirror of My Heart is a unique and captivating collection of eighty-three Persian women poets, many of whom wrote anonymously or were punished for their outspokenness. One of the very first Persian poets was a woman (Rabe'eh, who lived over a thousand years ago) and there have been women poets writing in Persian in virtually every generation since that time until the present. Before the twentieth century they tended to come from society's social extremes--many were princesses, some were entertainers, but many were wives and daughters who wrote simply for their own entertainment, and they were active in many different countries - Iran, India, Afghanistan, and areas of central Asia that are now Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. From Rabe'eh in the tenth century to Fatemeh Ekhtesari in the twenty-first, the women poets found in The Mirror of My Heart write across the millennium on such universal topics as marriage, children, political climate, death, and emancipation, recreating life from hundreds of years ago that is strikingly similar to our own today and giving insight into their experiences as women throughout different points of Persian history. The volume is introduced and translated by Dick Davis, a scholar and translator of Persian literature as well as a gifted poet in his own right.

“Har du hørt det? Kim Larsen er død?” Sådan indleder Adam Drewes sit originale værk, der undersøger nutidens fællesskabsfølelse. Med Kim Larsen og hans folkelige popularitet som prisme fås her et unikt perspektiv på fællesskabets mange former og facetter. Der er ingen svar i dette værk, kun spørgsmål, og det giver teksten sin helt egen poesi. Kim Larsens død er stedet, hvor spørgsmålene tager sin begyndelse. For Larsen formåede med sin musik og sin person mere end nogen anden at samle folk på tværs af alder og klasse i et kulturelt fællesskab. Hans død bliver derfor anledningen til at spørge til fællesskabsfølelsen i nutidens Danmark. Spørgsmålet som sproglig konstruktion rummer en tvivl, en undren, og begge dele er der masser af i Kim Larsen? Men i spørgsmålene, der snor sig gennem alle mulige og umulige fællesskaber, mærker man også en indignation, en frustration over verdens beskaffenhed. Det er med andre ord ikke en mild bekymring, der åbenbarer sig i Kim Larsen? Tværtimod. Det ser sort ud og så alligevel ikke helt. For i spørgsmålet ligger der også et håb – det er ved at sætte spørgsmål ved det gældende, at forandringen kan starte. “Er fællesskabet muligt?”, spørger Drewes til sidst i Kim Larsen? Svaret er op til læseren.Om forfatteren:Adam Drewes (f. 1974) har udgivet hybridromanen Radio (forlaget Arena 2013), spoken word-LP’en Regel nr. 1 (forlaget Arena 2003) og er tidligere Nordisk Mester i Poetry Slam år 2000 – en titel, der markerede afslutningen på hans deltagelse i konkurrencen.
