Adojuru is a map of memory, longing, and becoming-a collection of poems that unravel the journey of self through scattered moments, quiet reckonings, and the slow work of piecing oneself back together. Divided into four sections (Scattered, Searching, Shaping, and Seen) this collection traces the edges of vulnerability and transformation, holding space for those still finding their way. With a voice both lyrical and unflinching, Sandra Okuboyejo writes of longing, self-reclamation, and the fragile, powerful act of being known.

Story
«Домик в Коломне» — изящный поэтический опыт Александра Пушкина, в котором игра с формой становится не менее увлекательной, чем сама история. Здесь ирония соседствует с лёгкой грустью, простая бытовая зарисовка оборачивается литературным экспериментом, а пушкинская муза ведёт читателя от шутки к размышлению. Стихотворение, словно созданное для неспешного чтения, раскрывает очарование повседневности и силу творческой свободы. Произведение обращено ко всем, кто ценит живое слово, поэтическую музыку и тонкий юмор классика.

Story
Perhaps the most enduring poet of his generation, Stanley Kunitz once observed that “poetry is for the sake of the life.” Based on his mother’s recently recovered memoir, diary and letters, Judith Ferrara’s A Feast of Losses offers fresh and intimate insights into both her own and her son’s lives. Yetta Dine emigrated from Lithuania to New York’s Lower East Side in 1890 and learned the garment trade before moving to Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1893 to marry Solomon Kunitz.

In this book of poetry, common issues we all must face are brought to the attention of the listener, such as life and death, good and evil, and many other issues.

Story
Who was the bestselling English poet of the nineteenth century? No, not Tennyson or Byron or Wordsworth—but Felicia Hemans (1793-1835), “the most considerable woman poet of the Romantic period” and “the most notable British poet flourishing between the death of Byron and the rise of Tennyson and the Brownings” (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, 2008). With an unfailing and seemingly effortless command of language, she voiced the deepest concerns of ordinary people, especially women, to an extent that no other writer of her time could do.

L’han giurato: altri forti a quel giuro
Rispondean da fraterne contrade,
Affilando nell’ombra le spade
Che or levate scintillano al sol.
Già le destre hanno stretto le destre;
Già le sacre parole son porte:
O compagni sul letto di morte,
O fratelli su libero suol.

por el caudal eterno que eres tú.

Story
After getting “vulnerable AF” on her 2021 book tour, Tank realized she was truly ready to move on from her first love. In The Thing About Falling, she writes about that experience as well as what followed—a period of shallow comfort, followed by a much deeper transformation. Organized in sections that follow the author from heartbreak to rebound to new love, the poetry that flows is an honest, witty, and effortlessly charming account of one woman’s journey back to herself.
