Verdes ramas.El barco sobre la mary el caballo en la montaña.Con la sombra en la cintura,ella sueña en su barandaverde carne, pelo verde,con ojos de fría plata.Verde que te quiero verde.Bajo la luna gitana,las cosas la están mirandoy ella no puede mirarlas.

Ruth Stone once said, 'I decided very early on not to write like other people.' What Love Comes To shows the fruits of this resolve in the lifetime's work of a true American original. The winner of the National Book Award at the age of 87, Ruth Stone was still writing extraordinary poetry well into her 90s. This comprehensive selection includes early formal lyrics, fierce feminist and political poems, and meditations on her husband's suicide, on love, loss, blindness and ageing. What Love Comes To opens up her own particular world of serious laughter; of uncertainty and insight; of mystery and acceptance. It is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. The book has a foreword by Sharon Olds, who 'had the joy of meeting Ruth Stone' as a teenager, a later encounter giving her 'a vision of a genius at work' 'Ruth Stone's poems are mysterious, hilarious, powerful. They are understandable, often with a very clear surface, but not simple - their intelligence is crackling and complex... She is a poet of great humor - mockery even - and a bold eye, not obedient. There is also disrespect in her poems, a taken freedom, that feels to me like a strength of the disenfranchised. Ruth's poems are direct and lissome, her plainness is elegant and shapely, her music is basic, classical: it feels as real as the movement of matter. When we hear a Stone first line, it is as if we have been hearing this voice in our head all day, and just now the words become audible. She is a seer, easily speaking clear truths somehow unmentioned until now... She has a tragic deadpan humor: love and destruction are right next to each other...'

Na lange tijd is er nu weer een aparte uitgave van de prachtige ‘Verzen’ van Elsschot, met een bijzondere cd: Ida De Ridder leest Elsschot! De gedichten van Elsschot kun je natuurlijk lezen, maar ze komen pas goed tot hun recht als ze op de juiste manier worden voorgedragen, zoals bleek op de Elsschotdag die vorig jaar in De Brakke Grond werd gehouden. Voor een overvolle en muisstille zaal lazen vele bekende Vlamingen en Nederlanders alle gedichten voor. Maar niemand wist de juiste toon zo goed te treffen als Elsschots dochter Ida De Ridder. Voor deze speciale uitgave van ‘Verzen’ was Ida De Ridder bereid alle gedichten voor te lezen en ze heeft zichzelf overtroffen.

We Are Owed. is the debut poetry collection of Ariana Brown, exploring Black relationality in Mexican and Mexican American spaces. Through poems about the author's childhood in Texas and a trip to Mexico as an adult, Brown interrogates the accepted origin stories of Mexican identity. We Are Owed asks the reader to develop a Black consciousness by rejecting U.S., Chicano, and Mexican nationalism and confronting anti-Black erasure and empire-building. As Brown searches for other Black kin in the same spaces through which she moves, her experiences of Blackness are placed in conversation with the histories of formerly enslaved Africans in Texas and Mexico. Esteban Dorantes, Gaspar Yanga, and the author's Black family members and friends populate the book as a protective and guiding force, building the "we" evoked in the title and linking Brown to all other African-descended peoples living in what Saidiya Hartman calls "the afterlife of slavery."

De twee eerste bundels aangevuld met ander werk van dichteres Lieke Marsman (1990).

Inger Christensen (1935-2009) was one of Denmark's best-known poets. Her poetry reflects a complex philosophical background, yet it has enjoyed wide public popularity. Many of her poems have a visionary quality, yet she is a paradoxically down-to-earth visionary, focusing on the simple stuff of everyday life and in it discovering the metaphysical, as if by chance.In alphabet, Christensen creates a framework of psalm-like forms that unfold like expanding universes, crystallizing into words both the beauty and the potential for destruction that permeate our world and our times. In this collection, she has created a system by combining the alphabet with Fibonnaci's numeric sequence, in which each number is equal to the sum of the two preceding numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc. alphabet is about the relationship between people and nature and, like it, is itself a form of creation. With the word exist as the pivot, the poems move -- from the first wondering confirmation, apricot trees exist -- out into the world to life and death, the planet and calamity.
