New Selected Poems

The epic story of Rama, hero and prince who must battle for justice and righteousness against forces of chaos and evil

The epic story of Rama, hero and prince who must battle for justice and righteousness against forces of chaos and evil

The Ramayana

Michael Korda, the best-selling author of Hero and Alone, tells the story of the First World War but through the intertwined lives of the soldier poets who came to describe it best, and indeed to symbolise the war's tragic arc and lethal fury.
His epic narrative begins with Rupert Brooke, "the handsomest young man in England" and perhaps its most famous young poet in the halcyon days of the Edwardian Age, and ends five years later with Wilfred Owen, killed in action at twenty-five, only one week before the armistice.
Korda's dramatic account not only brings to life the soldier poets but paints an unforgettable picture of life and death in the trenches, and the sacrifice of an entire generation.
As Korda demonstrates, the poets of the First World War were soldiers, heroes, martyrs, victims, their lives and loves endlessly fascinating-that of Rupert Brooke alone reads like a novel. Muse of Fire is at once a portrait of their lives and a narrative of a civilisation destroying itself, among the rubble, shadows, and the unresolved problems of which we still live.

World War I as Seen through the Lives of the Soldier Poets

Muse of Fire

'It all happened long time ago, no one now remembers this story let me tell you how it all happened, how once we turned unholy.' In Southernmost, Leo Boix takes us on a spellbinding voyage through time and imagination, from the Argentina of his birth - 'the end of the world, the antipode' - to a new life in England. Unearthing an old grief, the poet embarks on a glittering, encyclopaedic exploration of the Latin America he left behind: a journey through personal memory into a continent's past, haunted by the Europeans who once fixed their telescopes on its shores. Helping us 'see faces history can't reach', Southernmost reveals truths hidden in plain sight: the devastation of indigenous peoples and their lands; dissidents disappeared by the junta; a mother's concealed cancer diagnosis; the clarifying sexuality of a boy whose father can't bear to acknowledge it. Restlessly intelligent, tender in their evocation of gay intimacy, migration, and the natural world, this virtuosic net of sonnets captures a glimpse of our world's interconnecting threads. 'And I realised I couldn't go on travelling - I had to stop my tour; that there was no El Dorado; their vast skies were also ours. Years later, in another country, I was also an interpreter who tried to render things from one world to another. When I finally wake up I'm always at a loss. Where am I? I'm back home, of course. Still, outside, the strangest sky.'

Southernmost: Sonnets

'For intellectual range, emotional depth, and lexical shimmer, Crawford is unsurpassed among recent Scottish poets'Sunday HeraldWriting out of older Scottish traditions that are ludic, intellectually deft and linguistically complex, Robert Crawford also stands with fellow poets, Liz Lochhead, Douglas Dunn and Simon Armitage as a contemporary master. Nimbly traversing the globe, Old World is a generous, playful collection featuring the traditional forms of haiku and riddle, versions of Mexican, Chinese, Old English and Greek poems, a tincture of Scots work, and many pieces that present an ageing planet dealing with twenty-first-century issues from European war to climate change and AI. These poems speak both of the menaced plenitude of living beings, and of frailties associated with growing old. Part of the book is given over to voices of creatures from the non-human world, part to human voices, but boundaries between these categories become mischievously and disconcertingly unstable. Mixing lyricism, play, and a sense of vulnerable interdependence, Old World draws on both Western and Eastern cultures to articulate through sound, lineation, and silence a sense of the sacredness of life on earth.

Kitchen Hymns

The poets in this book are philosophers and statesmen; priestesses and warriors; teenage girls, concerned for their birthday celebrations; drunkards and brawlers; grumpy old men and chic young things. They speak of hopes, fears, loves, losses, triumphs and humiliations. Every one of them lived and died between 1,900 and 2,800 years ago. The Penguin Book of Greek and Latin Lyric Verse is a volume without precedent. It brings together the best of two traditions normally treated in isolation, and in doing so tells a captivating story about how literary book culture emerged out of a society structured by song. The classical vision of lyric poetry as practised by the greatest ancient poets - Sappho and Horace, Bacchylides and Catullus - mingles and interacts with our expansive modern understanding of the lyric as the brief, personal, emotional poetry of a human soul laid bare. Anyone looking for a picture of what ancient poets were up to when they weren''t composing national epics, manuals in verse or pieces for the tragic or comic stage - when they were instead singing to the gods, or to their friends, or otherwise opening little verbal windows into their life and times - can find it here. It is a magisterial accomplishment, astonishing its ambition and thrilling in scope.
