Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets

Poems

A Violence

Booker prize winning author Michael Ondaatje invites you on a brutal, beautiful journey into the American West. . . At twenty-one years old, Billy the Kid has killed a man for each year he's been alive. Roaming the blasted planes of the Wild West, he moves between friends, foes and lovers, fighting to keep just one step ahead of the law. Yet in this twisted wasteland - a country of mad dogs, of sweat and gore and blinding heat - the sheriffs play dirty too. Melding prose, poetry, imagined interviews and ephemeral photography, Ondaatje weaves together a lyrical reinterpretation of Billy's short, infamous existence, forming a portrait of a young man, and a young country, borne out of violence, threaded through with disaster, yet rich in wonder. 'Ondaatje's language is clean and energetic, with the pop of bullets. This is literature, art.' Annie Dillard'Ondaatje's eye for detail is wonderful and he uses it poetically, with superb restraint' Larry McMurtry

By the age of twenty-one, Billy the Kid had killed a man for each year he’d been alive. Then he was shot dead in the night by a man he once called a friend. Drawing on contemporary accounts, period photographs, dime novels, and his own prodigious fund of empathy and imagination, Michael Ondaatje's visionary novel traces the legendary outlaw's passage across the blasted landscape of 1880 New Mexico and the collective unconscious of his country. The Collected Works of Billy the Kid is a virtuoso synthesis of storytelling, history, and myth by a writer who brings us back to our familiar legends with a renewed sense of wonder.

The Collected Works of Billy the Kid

'Like amber, these poems capture moments of time, place and feeling' Lemn Sissay, author of My Name is Why'Fiercely imaginative and wonderfully unexpected' Ruth Padel, author of Girl'Don't worry, I'm here in the house where every room has a name, but children's names are often forgotten.'Uplifting and heart-breaking, this lyrical evocation of a childhood on the edge of society marks the arrival of a vital new voice. MINX reveals the vibrant but precarious world of a multi-racial Romani family: a world of grandfathers brewing moonshine in marrows, basement reggae parties, and a mother struggling to support her two daughters on the proceeds of her shadowy profession. Their powerful bond helps the sisters survive when they're taken into care, in a children's home that forcibly separates them. With a verve and playfulness that belies their pain, these poems explore what it means to belong. Through daring experiments with form and narrative, MINX captures how it feels to grow up between a culture whose traditional ways are being lost and a wider society that despises them.

'Don’t worry, I’m here in the house where every room has a name, but children’s names are often forgotten' Heart-breaking yet uplifting, this lyrical evocation of an Anglo-Romani childhood on the edge of society marks the arrival of a vital new voice. MINX draws us into the vibrant but precarious world of a multi-racial Romani family, whose troubled mother struggles to support her two girls on the proceeds of her shadowy nighttime work. The sisters develop a powerful bond, which helps them survive once they’re taken into care, under the punishing regime of a children’s home that separates them. Through a series of daring experiments with form and narrative, MINX captures how it feels to be caught between a culture whose traditional ways are being lost and a wider society that despises them. With a verve and playfulness that belies their pain, these poems explore what it means to belong: the search for a language and heritage erratically passed on and the cost of being forcibly assimilated.

Minx

The Costa Award-winning poet's ingenious collection of poems is an investigation and test of Wordsworth's famous adage: 'the Child is father of the Man'. In Christopher Reid's marvellous collection, a schoolboy furtively and thrillingly drops a marble through the top of his desk so that it makes its way in darkness along a complicated chute of books, rulers and rubbish, only to emerge from a hole in the base and be caught deftly in his other hand. The poem is titled 'Homeric' and might serve as a clue to the mood and construction of the collection in general, where the poet, now in his seventies, seeks to track down and commune with his much younger self. It is an investigation that tests Wordsworth's 'the Child is father of the Man' by contriving a series of transtemporal encounters between two selves who may now, conceivably, begin to understand each other. Reid was born in Hong Kong and, thanks to the roving nature of his father's employment, spent some of his childhood in foreign places. Most of the locations in this book, however, are the Britain of the 1950s and '60s - perhaps, at this distance in time, no less exotic. As the poems move from pre-verbal experience to adolescence, the younger self is captured in scenes that illuminate the steps by which a man - a poet - has been raised. Another poem conjures up the childhood of Henry James in order to reflect on 'the large part / mystery plays in both childhood and art', a proposition that the book as a whole may be said to endorse through both its wondering gaze and its ingenuity.

Later Life Letter

'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.

Old World

Reverberating with risk, this collection negotiates the darkness of injury, the potency and pain of revelation, and agency as song.

**Winner of the Paterson Poetry Prize****Longlisted for the Griffin Prize and the Massachusetts Book Award****Soon to be adapted for screen by Lena Waithe and Warner Bros.**An award-winning collection and novella exploring the realm of speculative fiction, while addressing issues as varied as abolition, Black ecological consciousness, and the boundless promise of parenthoodAcross three sequences, Joshua Bennett's new book recalls and reimagines social worlds almost but not entirely lost, all while gesturing toward the ones we are building even now, in the midst of a state of emergency, together. Bennett opens with a set of autobiographical poems that deal with themes of family, life, death, vulnerability, and the joys and dreams of youth. The central section, "The Book of Mycah," features an alternate history where Malcolm X is resurrected from the dead, as is a young black man shot by the police some fifty years later in Brooklyn. The final section of The Study of Human Life are poems that Bennett has written about fatherhood, on the heels of his own first child being born. Praise for Joshua Bennett'One of the brightest intellectual and political thinkers of a new generation' Jesse McCarthy'Bennett conjures a spirit of kinship that, illuminated by redolent imagery, borders on mythic' New Yorker'Joshua Bennett's astounding, dolorous, rejoicing voice is indispensable' Tracy K Smith
