In this poetry collection "Ways to Say Goodbye", Anne Kellas takes the listener through dream sequences, abstract and imagistic poems and deeply personal poems of loss. The effect is a cumulative building of a quiet world of reflective resilience as the poet tries out possible ways to do what is almost impossible – to love and to say goodbye.

Lóbame es una afirmación de vida de alguien que vive el erotismo de forma libre y plena. Es también el aullido que preludia los silencios del amor, aquellos en los que los amantes son capaces de decírselo todo al abrirse el alma, al rendirse sus cuerpos. Las páginas de este libro de fricciones poéticas, tal y como sucede en el amor, no precisan explicar nada más allá de lo que al amar, al desear, se siente dentro.

The Odyssey has survived nearly three thousand years because it speaks to a simple, powerful truth: sometimes the hardest battle is not the war abroad, but the long, uncertain journey back home. In this modern prose retelling, Homer's epic is presented as a continuous story rather than as verse. The language is clear and contemporary, but the structure and major episodes of the original are faithfully preserved.

In this memoir told in poems, Dan Flanigan follows that gradual dimming through the last illness and death of his wife. Written in free verse and prose poems, Tenebrae moves across the full arc of a long marriage. These poems refuse the familiar consolations. There is no posturing, no preciousness, no self-pity. A dying woman is rendered as fully human—strong, flawed, dignified, unmistakably herself—and the speaker does not cast himself as hero.

In 1971, in the wake of George Jackson's killing by San Quentin prison guards, a poem entitled "Enemy of the Sun" was found among ninety-nine books in the revolutionary's cell.

La vasta produzione è infatti pervasa dalla personalità schiva eppure dirompente che la contraddistinse: gli affetti, la natura, il pensiero ossessivo della morte e dell'abbandono ne sono protagonisti vivi, che Dickinson racconta con uno sguardo in apparenza semplice e ritirato, in realtà ricco di complessità. Nei suoi versi ritroviamo lo scorrere ciclico ma effimero delle stagioni, i fiori e soprattutto gli animali, in grado di risvegliare in lei la più variegata gamma dei sentimenti, dalla repulsione allo sgomento, dall'ironia all'incanto.

Ariel is a posthumous poetry collection by Sylvia Plath, published in 1965. Written during the final months of her life, the collection captures intense emotional states shaped by her struggles with identity, mental illness, and societal expectations of women. The poems are vivid, confessional, and often unsettling. Plath uses powerful imagery, such as in "Lady Lazarus" and "Daddy," to explore themes of death, rebirth, trauma, and female oppression. Nature, violence, and the body appear throughout, reflecting her internal turmoil and search for liberation.

Have you ever thought of yourself as a “vessel of love?” This image speaks to what I envision for the elderhood years. The vast life experiences of the past provided countless opportunities for our love to grow and mature. The persons we have known, what we have done or had done to us, the beliefs stretching our minds and hearts, what we gained and what we shed, the results of our choices and decisions, our deliberate participation in the evolving history of the world―all this and more we bring with us into the final decades.

Сколько слов, стихов, песен сложено о любви! Чувстве, которое близко людям всех поколений, чувстве, которое будоражит кровь и разум, чувстве, которое рождает потрясающие по своей силе строки и метафоры... Любовная лирика – пожалуй, один из самых красивых жанров, по сути это сама жизнь, переданная автором в образах и строфах. Именно со стихотворений о любви чаще всего начинается творческий путь поэта, становление его рифмы и слога. XIX–XX вв. подарил нам прекрасные образцы любовной лирики: стихотворения М. Лермонтова и Ф. Тютчева, А. Блока и К. Бальмонта, М. Цветаевой и А. Ахматовой и многих других.
