Honey Moon er en debutdigtsamling af den Forfatterskole-uddannede digterSebastian Nathan (f. 1996). Digtsamlingen kredser om et break-up, en ung forelskelseog en særlig sorg, som hele tiden bærer kærligheden og skønheden i sig. Midt idet sorgfulde er digtene fyldt med en ømhed og et nærvær – det er helt igenneminspireret og båret af en inderlig tro på, at sproget vil én det godt. Ordenelever. De er her sammen med én, ligesom verden i øvrigt: højhusene, himlen,gæssene, der skræpper i solnedgangen, drengene, der kører ræs rundt omhospitalet.En forelskelse er en drøm om en anden verden. Digtene,skriften i Honey Moon etablerer en verden, et nærværende rum, som ikke blothar plads til, men ligefrem bygger på følsomhed, sårbarhed, ømhed. Hengivenhed,skønhed og sorg. Det er en forelsket skrift, på samme tid krystalklar ogsvimlende. Og som viser os, at en anden måde at være i verden på er mulig.Følsomhed som politisk kraft.SebastianNathan forklarer selv om sin poetik: ”Det er ikke banalt eller naivt eller attro på noget, der er smukt. Jeg tænker på det sårbare som et oprør. Ømhed er enægte, vigtig og skøn politisk kraft. Teksten er et alternativ, der er ved atblive formuleret, den fyldes af det, vi savner.”

Ursula K. Le Guins berømte og gribende beretning om et laboratoriedyrs forgæves forsøg på at komme i kontakt med sin laborant. Værket står som et af de mest slående litterære eksempler på en litteratur, der formår at skrive fra andre arters og livsformers perspektiv. Her er menneskene de fremmede.

Kun koncentreret om min kones ko – en kærlig udveksling er et udvalg af digteren Gertrude Stein og hendes partner Alice B. Toklas’ elskovsnoter, oversat og med forord af Kristina Nya Glaffey og Maja Lee Langvad.Stein og Toklas, der er et af det 20. århundredes mest ikoniske lesbiske par, skrev hundredevis af både nuttede og erotiske noter til hinanden i løbet af deres livslange samliv, der varede fra 1907 til Steins død i 1946. Elskovsnoterne, hvor Stein og Toklas leger med traditionelle kønskoder, roller og magtpositioner, blev skrevet på små papirlapper, som de efterlod til hinanden rundt omkring i deres hus, og giver ikke kun et intimt indblik i de tos samliv, men belyser også det lesbiske aspekt af Steins forfatterskab.Oprindeligt var noterne ikke tiltænkt udgivelse og lå i mange år arkiveret på Beinecke Library på Yale University, inden de i 1981 blev gjort tilgængelige for forskning og i 1995 officielt anerkendt som en del af Steins samlede værker. I 1999 udkom et udvalg af noterne redigeret af den amerikanske folklorist og antropolog Kay F. Turner i bogen Baby Precious Always Shines.Med Kun koncentreret om min kones ko bliver noterne, der udgør et uomgængeligt bidrag til den lesbiske kærlighedslitteraturs historie, for første gang tilgængelige på dansk.Virkelig fin er min valentin.
Virkelig fin og virkelig min.
Virkelig fin er min valentin virkelig min og virkelig fin.
Virkelig fin er min valentin og min, virkelig fin virkelig min og min er min valentin.– Gertrude Stein

"To eller tre generationer af russere blev forelsket til akkompagnement af Akhmatovas digte."Sådan beskrev en af tidens kritikere hendes umådelige popularitet. Men efterhånden som det 20. århundredes katastrofer væltede ind over Rusland og resten af verden, fik Akhmatovas poesi dybere og mørkere klange. Hun blev en af sovjettidens forkætrede og fortiede, men alligevel aldrig helt glemte kunstnere. I dag er hendes position på det russiske parnas højere end nogensinde før, og nye læsere verden over får øjnene op for hendes poesi, med dens sublime udtryk for lidenskab, sorg, vrede og forsoning.Dette udvalg er sammensat af digte fra de i alt syv samlinger, som udkom eller var klar til udgivelse i Akhmatovas levetid, suppleret med et par efterladte strofer. Der er i udvalget en overvægt af værker fra den første halvdel af Akhmatovas oeuvre, men når det kombineres med de to sene hovedværker, digtsuiterne Requiem (2019) og Poem uden helt (som er under forberedelse), vil der være balance i den danske præsentation af hendes livsværk.Pressen skrev om Requiem:"Sikke dog poesi kan hysse smukt og storslået!" Lars Bukdahl, Weekendavisen"En afgørende stemme i en poesi på liv og død." Peter Laugesen Information"Billedsprogmættede mareridtsvisioner", "Viser hvilken fremragende digter Akhmatova er."

I Henrik Ibsens verdensberømte, samfundskritiske drama "Et dukkehjem" fra 1879 følger vi Nora, der bryder ud af ægteskabet og forlader mand og børn for at vinde sin personlige og moralske frihed. Stykket blev en øjeblikkelig succes og opfattes af mange som Ibsens vigtigste indlæg i debatten om kvindefrigørelse.Den norske dramatiker og digter Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) er én af de vigtigste forfattere i Det Moderne Gennembrud og regnes som grundlæggeren af det moderne drama med skuespil, der sætter den menneskelige psykologi i centrum og kredser om den fortid, det er så umuligt at flygte fra. Ibsen er verdensberømt for skuespil som "Et dukkehjem", "Peer Gynt" og "Hedda Gabler", men producerede i alt over tyve dramaer, der stadig opføres på teatre over hele verden.

Modernity has not managed to erase the restlessness that seems to be intrinsic to what it means to be human. T.S. Eliot's disillusionment with modern civilization is timelessly encapsulated in his famous 1922 poem, "The Waste Land." The book is laced with allusions, like, for example, some that reference the Grail legend and others informed by Fraser's "Golden Bough." Eliot would dedicate the piece to Ezra Pound.This is the original 1922 version of the book, as published by "Boni and Liveright." It includes the notes that Eliot himself compiled. This version is a facsimile which has been carefully reproduced for generations of reading pleasure.

He has come to know the people on the island, who consider him a wise and insightful man. On the day Almustafa's ship finally arrives, he feels a deep sadness. The local elders ask him not to leave. Almustafa speaks of his philosophy of life and the truths he has discovered to the gathered crowd. His words have an almost magical quality to them.

"The people in these photographs had no walls up. They just accepted me and permitted me to take their photographs without any self-consciousness." -Roy DeCaravaThe Sweet Flypaper of Life is a "poem" about ordinary people, about teenagers around a jukebox, about children at an open fire hydrant, about riding the subway alone at night, about picket lines and artist work spaces. This renowned, life-affirming collaboration between artist Roy DeCarava and writer Langston Hughes honors in words and pictures what the authors saw, knew, and felt deeply about life in their city. Hughes's heart-warming description of Harlem in the late 1940s and early 1950s is seen through the eyes of one grandmother, Sister Mary Bradley. As she guides the reader through the lives of those around her, we imagine the babies born, families in struggle, children yet flourishing. We experience the sights and sounds of Harlem as seen through her learned and worldly eyes, expressed here through Hughes's poetic prose. As she states, "I done got my feet caught in the sweet flypaper of life and I'll be dogged if I want to get loose." DeCarava's photographs lay open a world of sense and feeling that begins with his perception and vision. The ruminations go beyond the limit of simple observation and contend with deeper meanings to reveal these individuals as subjects worthy of art. While Hughes states "We've had so many books about how bad life is, maybe it's time to have one showing how good it is," the photographs bring us back to this lively dialogue and a complex reality, to a resolution that stands with the optimism of the photographic medium and the certainty of DeCarava's artistic moment. In 1952 DeCarava became the first African American photographer to win a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. The one-year grant enabled DeCarava to focus full time on the photography he had been creating since the mid-1940s and to complete a project that would eventually result in The Sweet Flypaper of Life, a moving, photo-poetic work in the urban setting of Harlem. DeCarava compiled a set of images from which Hughes chose 141 and adeptly supplied a fictive narration, reflecting on life in that city-within-a-city. First published in 1955, the book, widely considered a classic of photographic visual literature, was reprinted by public demand several times. This fourth printing, the Heritage Edition, is the first authorized English-language edition since 1983 and includes an afterword by Sherry Turner DeCarava tracing the history and ongoing importance of this book.
