The Editors of Irish Pages - Chris Agee, Cathal O Searcaigh, Kathleen Jamie and Meg Bateman - have assembled a new issue of the journal, entitled "The Anthropocene." It aims to evoke the escalating global ecological crisis in the round, through many of its key components, including climate change, deforestation, the treatment of animals, oceanic pollution and over-fishing, the melting of glaciers, extinctions, land-use, plastic pollution and the waste crisis, the eco-vandalism of mining and the fashion industry, the extermination of indigenous peoples and languages, biodiversity and ecocide generally, and so on - and on. * A certain amount of poetry and prose deals with humanity and human consciousness more generally, in their historical, cultural, psychological, artistic and religious dimensions. * There is also a special section devoted to writing on the Pandemic. * As with other issues, however, there is also work included that does not bear explicitly on the theme of the issue.

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass (Hardcover): Lana Del Rey Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass (Hardcover)

R326 Discovery Miles 3 260 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT BOOK OF POETRY FROM LANA DEL REY, VIOLET BENT BACKWARDS OVER THE GRASS 'Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana's typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is also brought to life in an unprecedented spoken word audiobook which features Lana Del Rey reading fourteen select poems from the book accompanied by music from Grammy Award-winning musician Jack Antonoff.

Eybers se verse was jare laas in druk. Dié keuse, uitgesoek deur Ena Jansen, goeie vriendin van haar, wys op Eybers se veelsydigheid as digter. Die bloemlesing behels o.m. die bekende "Maria", "Busrit in die aand", verse oor haar kinders, die emigrasie na Nederland, tot haar latere, aangrypende gedigte oor ouer word. Goeie poësie is tydloos, en dit blyk duidelik met dié uitgawe van Eybers se bekendste werk.

Bernard Odendaal se tweede digbundel ontgin temas soos die funksie en aard van digterskap; die drang om die onuitspreekbare te wil verwoord; die voortbestaan van Afrikaans; die sterflikheid van die mens en die natuur. Die digter dink terug aan 'n verlore jeugwêreld en vriende, kinders wat in diaspora is, en ’n nageslag wat elders en anderstalig gaan grootword. Dis ’n bundel met eietydse gedigte waarin ’n soepel taalspel gespeel word, maar wat ook hoogs toeganklike verskuns bevat.

The Ballad of Robin Hood and the Deer (Paperback): Clifford Harper The Ballad of Robin Hood and the Deer (Paperback)
Clifford Harper
R184 Discovery Miles 1 840 Out of stock

Every land has its hero. Ours is an outlaw, rebel and thief - Robin Hood. Each era gives him its identity. The illustrator Clifford Harper and the poet John Gallas give us a new version of Robin - hunter and hunted - the ballad verse closely echoing the drawings. Agraphia is Harper's own publishing imprint, and as you'd expect, the books are exquisitely designed, illustrated and printed.

R20 Discovery Miles 200 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Die digter ondersoek die slopingsproses wat op sowel fisiese as emosionele vlak voltrek word. Dit affekteer onder andere huise en tuine maar ook menslike verhoudings en die kort bestek van die mens se lewe. Die tou is hier 'n betekenisvolle simbool wat hede en verlede verbind. Teenoor aftakeling en afslyting staan die herstel van die gees in menslike verhoudings, groei, die behoud van herinnering en beweging deur ruimtes en ervaring om nuwe moontlikhede oop te maak.

R265 R228 Discovery Miles 2 280 Save R37 (14%) Ships in 4 - 8 working days

Die gedigte in Swatland speel grootliks in Malmesbury af en word aangebied in die taal wat deur die bruin gemeenskap hier gepraat word: Kaaps wat met die kenmerkende bry-klank van die streek weerklink.

Op vernuwende wyse word dié bry skriftelik uitgebeeld. ’n Rugbyderby, ’n krieketwedstryd, en ’n besoek aan die openbare swembad word vars verbeeld deur die skep van opvallende kontraste.

Maatskaplike kwessies word met galgehumor belig en diep persoonlike sake sonder sentimentaliteit aangeroer.

Hennie Aucamp het in 'n huldeblyk na Toerien se dood opgemerk dat Om te onthou beslis meer aandag verdien as wat dit by verskyning gaande gemaak het: "[Barend was] 'n man vir alle seisoene, veral vir die herfs en die winter. Maar weerkerende motiewe is daar tog: die natuur, die liefde, die kunste. En hierin is hy, ondanks sy ironie en satires, 'n aartsromantikus."

Chrisalis is die indrukwekkende debuut van ‘n digter wie se taal- en versvernuf die leser meevoer en meermale ook ontroer. In hierdie fyn afgewerkte gedigte word die grens tussen teks en werklikheid telkens getoets.

Dit is verse waarin realiteit self op sy kop gekeer word en waar die alledaagse vreemd gemaak word. Soos’n skoenlapper uit sy papie breek, so kom die digter self te voorskyn uit die chrisalis van sy vers.

'n Ope brief aan Dorian Gray (Afrikaans, Paperback): Ruan Fourie 'n Ope brief aan Dorian Gray (Afrikaans, Paperback)
Ruan Fourie
R61 Discovery Miles 610 Ships in 4 - 8 working days

In hierdie debuutbundel word ’n liefdesgeskiedenis vertel soos dit deur verskillende stadiums beleef word deur die spreker. Aan die begin soek die spreker na ’n manier om sy liefde duidelik genoeg uit te druk; dan volg die ontnugtering en die belewenis van die geliefde as ’n lee dop, en uiteindelik volg die misnoegde ervaring van mislukking. Die hele bundel staan in gesprek met Oscar Wilde se roman, The picture of Dorian Gray, waarin die jong Dorian Gray wens dat sy afbeelding in ’n skildery sal verouder, terwyl hyself jonk bly.Die gedigte verwoord in hierdie bundel die aftakelingsproses en boots die briefvorm van die Wilde-roman implisiet na. Soos in die roman word die grense tussen werklikheid, verbeelding en kuns in die gedigte dikwels oorskry. Die atmosfeer van verval van die Wilde-roman word ook in talle van die gedigte opgeroep.
