Nordlands Trompet handler om hvordan Nord-Norge ser ut, hvem som bor der, og om hva slags liv som leves der både av folk og fe, fisk og fugl. Det ble skrevet på slutten av 1600-tallet, men ble ikke trykt før i 1739, 32 år etter Petter Dass' død.

Convalesce (Kaan-vuh-les)Relationships are about an exchange of trust. This trust can be romantic, carnal, or familial. What do we do when this trust is placed with the wrong person? What do we do when that trust is twisted and abused for the benefit of another, at the expense of our innocence?We will fight to justify what happened and make peace with our demons. We will re-play in our heads "he's a nice guy," or "she didn't mean it like that," until we believe the lie ourselves. But to truly heal and become resilient, we must acknowledge our truth.With Convalesce by Enne Zale, you are challenged to acknowledge your truth. You are challenged to revisit your demons and become resilient. You are challenged to create peace from trauma and find wisdom through your experiences.Find a cozy place to sit. It's time to whisper your confessions.

A book-length, syntactically surprising poem divided into many sections.

"Love Letter to Who Owns the Heavens considers the way that the absence of touch-in acts of war via the drone, in acts of love via the sext, in aesthetics itself-abstracts the human body, transforming it into a proxy for the real. "What love poem / could be written when men can no longer / look up?" this book asks, always in a state of flux between doubt and belief-in wars, in gods, in fathers, in love. Through epistolary addresses to these figures of power and others, these poems attempt to make bodies concrete and dangerous, immediate and addressable, once again"--

When a dark storm settled upon the earth, you lost many things-your hope, your strength, yourself. One day, in the middle of the darkness, you meet a spirit, washed from the ocean onto the shore. The spirit hands you a key. It is time to find the way back home.

We live in the age of the internet, where we spend most of our time socialising and connecting with people via social media rather than in person. Today we are so connected yet so lonely. We need instant gratification. We need instant results, and if something doesn't work, we just replace it, be it people or things. This has left so many people broken, with no real person to talk to face to face, which is what we need when we are down. I've compiled a collection of thoughts/poems/notes, I don't even know what to call them, but just to make it easier, I'll call them thoughts. I've tried to observe and listen to people over the short time I've been on this planet. I've tried to understand, not judge when listening and observing.

* Finalist for the Headmistress Press Charlotte Mew Prize Renée Vivien (née Pauline Mary Tarn, 1877-1909) was an English expatriate who made her home in Paris during the Belle Époque. In 1903, Vivien's collection of translations and adaptations from the Ancient Greek poetry of Sappho became one of the first works of modern European lesbian literature to be published by a lesbian writer under her real name. This courageous act was the death-sentence of her literary career. Parisian critics who had praised the mysterious "R. Vivien" as a young man of poetic genius began to snub at first and then simply ignore the newly un-closeted woman poet. Even in the face of ridicule and disrespect, Vivien continued to write and publish poetry, short stories, translations, plays, epigrams, and a novel based on her real-life romances with Natalie Clifford Barney and the Baroness Hélène van Zuylen van Nyevelt van Haar (née Rothschild). Vivien's poetry is now available in English translation by Samantha Pious: A Crown of Violets (Headmistress Press, 2015). I think it's very rare to encounter a new lesbian poet through translation and I am very excited to support this collection in its positive obsession and literary innovation alike. If it is that we are encouraged to each become the lover of Renée Vivien through her work, then this translator has succeeded in making the poet's wishes as transparent as an invitation can be: "The nave has been adorned to welcome you aright."Meg Day, Judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize This is an invaluable collection that brings Renée Vivien to life for English-speaking readers. Émigrée and sexual adventurer, Vivien wrote poetry strewn with broken harps and beautiful corpses. Pious's delicate but fearless translations draw out the bruised passions and troubadour rhythms that make Vivien essential reading for anyone interested in lesbian literature, fin-de-siècle poetics, or the agonies of sensual love.Kate Thomas, author of Postal Pleasures: Sex, Scandal and Victorian Letters

The story of Odysseus, king of Ithaca and his voyage back home following the cessation of the Trojan War.

A selection of Linton Kwesi Johnson's best poems over three decades. Ranging from protests against police brutality to eulogies for departed friends and playful celebrations of urban life, Johnson's use of Jamaican dialect to tackle distinctly British subjects contributed to a revolution in the notion of literary English. This Selected Poems charts the unique literary talent of one of Britain's most influential poets and social critics.

I Herbarium forlater Øyvind Rimbereid den poetiske fremtidsvisjonen han skapte i sin prisbelønte forrige bok, Solaris korrigert. Denne gang utforsker han en poetisk undersjanger med lang fartstid i litteraturen: blomsterdiktet. Men samtidig beveger Rimbereid seg langt utover blomsterdiktningens sedvanlige botaniske, symbolske og kulturhistoriske innramming. Det handler om blomster brukt som tankestoff og til spekulasjon i utvidende forstand. Resultatet er en samling som byr på stort mangfold, både formmessig og tematisk: Her er dikt i bunden form så vel som frie vers. Her er lange, rapsodiske dikt og fortettede poetiske glimt. Her er dikt om Giordano Bruno og Franz Kafka og dronning Sonja, om konflikten rundt Sinai og om utryddelsesleire, om kjærlighet og glemsel og sorg og finansspekulasjon.Tildelt Brageprisen 2008 som årets beste diktsamling.Nominert til Nordisk Råds litteraturpris."Om noen skulle ha tvilt på det, kan Øyvind Rimbereid altså skrive dikt også på bokmål. Med Herbarium har han føyd nok en vesentlig bok til forfatterskapet sitt"Mariann Enge, Aftenposten"… nok et bevis på Rimbereids evne til å finne originale former for å beskrive tidens store temaer på måter ingen annen norsk lyriker gjør etter ham" Ane Farsethås, Dagens Næringsliv"En av årets beste diktsamlinger"Sindre Ekrheim, Bergens Tidende"... Øyvind Rimbereid står i en særstilling blant norske lyrikere"Anne Cathrine Straume, NRK"Herbarium er utan tvil ei av dei beste og mest vågale diktsamlingane i år"Ronny Spaans, Dag og Tid"Det som gjør Rimbereid vesentlig er at han kan gå fra å undersøke peonens kronblader svært poetisk til å tre ned i selve roten av eksistensen, historien og samtida"Thomas Marco Blatt, Dagbladet"Rimbereid er allerede fullt fortjent kanonisert som en av de beste samtidsforfatterne, og han har mottatt flere priser. Men han er ikke bare god. Han er viktig" Kjersti Bale, KlassekampenBla i boka]]>

 Lise Fjeldstad har ganske enkelt fulgt hjertet sitt og valgt dikt hun er glad i, som har betydd noe for henne i forskjellige faser av livet, og vært som små undre av lykkelig oppdagelse, gjenkjennelse, forståelse eller bekreftelse. Noe er kjent, noe er glemt, noe halvt husket og noe er nytt.For, enten vi vil det eller ikke, enten vi forstår det eller ikke, er det kjærligheten som former våre liv. Vi lever med forventning om kjærlighet, i håp om kjærlighet, i lengsel etter kjærlighet, eller i fravær av kjærlighet.          ]]>

Sansevare, kloke og tankevekkende dikt.Etter skeidet er Thor Sørheims trettende diktsamling. Diktene i denne boka er forankret i landskap og omgivelser. Sansninger av nære inntrykk som en granhekk, reklameplakater og isen som omformer havbukta, gir grobunn for poetisk refleksjon. Leserne føres på stier inn i skogen og inn i historien gjennom skiftende årstider og tidsepoker. Fenomener som tilsynelatende virker som motsetninger, sidestilles: Jord og vann, redsel og fryd, bibel og børs. I Thor Sørheims dikt er menneskene knyttet til det lokale, men også til fjerne tilstander som galakser i spill og katastrofer vi ikke får øye på der framme. Diktene observerer både i glede og sorg, og de skisserer en sterk appell om å ta vare på det skapte og verne om de svakes rett. Både over og under tidevannet, og med skjønnheten hakk i hæl, er livets utfordring å ikke komme tomhendt til døden.Anmelderne mener:«Dikta vender seg både mot ulike landskap og mot ulike kunstverk. Det som er felles, er at dei byggjer på små observasjonar og augeblikk som fortettar seg til undring og lyftar seg ut or seg sjølv. Jamvel om dikta er rota i ein gjennomgåande kvardagsleg horisont, utan påtrengjande språklege faktar, utviklar dei ei rekkje motiv som gjer at dei utvidar kvarandre.»Sindre Ekrheim, Dag og Tid

Imagine, first, a forest full of snow... This is the story of a unique generation of violins. It begins in the silence of snow-filled forests and brings us to the chatter and traffic of a twenty-first century city.  It is the story of their maker, Antonio Stradivari, the sparkling young prodigy who did his greatest work late in life, lifting music from the silence of all he had lost. It is also the story of all of us. Of the passions that flicker through our lives, and what might unfold if we chase them. It is the story of how our greatest loves will outlive us, if only we will let them go.Intimate and eternal, Songs of Snow and Silence by Jen Emery captures the solitary song of a woodlark, the crackle of a campfire and the echoing laughter around it. This is a voice steeped in ancient wisdom, made fresh by a grit and bright wit. Loreto Ruiz''s exquisite paintings bring alive in colour and movement the music, time, and emotions that shape this work, offering a soaring beauty and empathy that transcends words.Have you lived long enough yet to know what it is to wake, stiff and cold before dawn by a burned down fire?

Hannah Lowe taught for a decade in an inner-city London sixth form. At the heart of this book of compassionate and energetic sonnets are 'The Kids', her students, the teenagers she nurtured.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.'Greedily she engorged without restraint,And knew not eating death;'Milton's Paradise Lost is a poem of epic proportions that tells of Satan's attempts to mislead Eve into disobeying God in the Garden of Eden, by eating from the tree of knowledge. His interpretation of the biblical story of Genesis is vivid and intense in its language, justifying the actions of God to men. In his sequel poem, Paradise Regained, Milton shows Satan trying to seduce Jesus in a similar way to Eve, but ultimately failing as Jesus remains steadfast.
