52 Gedichte von Liebe und Angst, getippt auf einer alten Schreibmaschine. Ohne Löschtaste, ohne Sorge um ein paar matte Stellen im blankpolierten Powerfrauen-Image. I'm typing on an old typewriter; my Princess Standard 300, from the sixties I'm depriving myself of escape. No adding, no changing, No back or forth. No shame, no doubts. 'Ich bin Thrillerautorin, Sachbuchautorin, Podcasterin. Überlegte ich gerade ernsthaft, eine Gedichtsammlung zu veröffentlichen? Mein Herz derart offensichtlich auf den OP-Tisch zu knallen für eine öffentliche Sektion? Andererseits: Hatte ich mir nicht geschworen, mich nicht von meinen Zweifeln leiten zu lassen, sondern von meinem Herzen? Der Liebe immer ein bisschen mehr Raum zu geben als der Angst? Dass letzteres für mein Schreiben galt, war klar. Aber sollte es nicht auch für mein Leben gelten?' Gedichte ohne Weichzeichner von Romy Hausmann. Grandios vertont von Fortuna Ehrenfeld. CD mit 17 Stücken, Gesamtspielzeit: 40:43. Tourneestart Februar 2025, Stationen in Hamburg, Oslo, Stavanger, Berlin, London, Wien, Leipzig, Stuttgart, Köln, München u.v.m.

In her debut poetry collection, Hayley gives voice to the roots of struggle and pain growing up, as well as the love and pursuit of self-acceptance that were fundamental in her own choice to live. Her verses weave a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant-through shadows of the past and the fleeting moments of joy captured in the simplicity of sharing an orange.

Chosen by Ginsberg himself from nearly fifty years of experimental, groundbreaking verse, this selection, in his words, 'summarizes what I deem most honest, most penetrant of my writing', and includes lesser known and later works which go beyond his iconic Beat Generation image. Presented chronologically, and ranging from early works such as 'Paterson' (1949) to selections from White Shroud (1980-85) and Cosmopolitan Greetings (1986-92), and including the classic poems Howl (1955-56) and Kaddish (1959-60) as well as songs, recent uncollected poems and notes by the author, this volume brings together the most intensely personal verse of a great American poet - incandescent explorations that expand the consciousness with their breadth of vision and depth of humanity.

Emily Brontë (1818-1848), of the well-known Brontë family, is best known for her novel "Wuthering Heights", which has been deemed a classic of English literature. She wrote two complete notebooks of poetry by 1844, which were soon discovered by her sister, Charlotte. At Charlotte's urging, Emily began publishing the poems in collaborative works with her two sisters under the pseudonyms Acton, Ellis and Currer Bell. Emily's poems were praised by critics for their power and intellect, although the collections did not sell well upon their publication. Because she wrote entirely for her own satisfaction, without desire for fame or posterity, Emily Brontë's poetry displays a private, instinctive style. The genuine nature of her words, which were inspired by the traditions of her Romantic predecessors, expresses a true artistic vision of energy, life and the soul from an intensely introspective point of view.

In Flusslinien geht es um die Elbe, um den Schierlingswasserfenchel, kleine wandernde Kröten, das Tätowieren von Haut so dünn wie Pergament, sodass all die Erinnerungen eines alten Lebens hindurchschienen, um Gewalt und die Sprachlosigkeit, die auf sie folgt. Mit Wärme, sprachlicher Kraft und modernen Worten, verpackt in literarisches Talent erzählt Katharina Hagena von drei Menschen, drei Schicksalen - und zwölf Frühsommertagen an der Elbe. Vom Leben mit den Wunden, die uns zeichnen, und die Frage, wie man lernt loszulassen, zu vertrauen und weiterzuatmen.

Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath’s complete poetic works, edited and introduced by Ted Hughes. By the time of her death on 11, February 1963, Sylvia Plath had written a large bulk of poetry. To my knowledge, she never scrapped any of her poetic efforts. With one or two exceptions, she brought every piece she worked on to some final form acceptable to her, rejecting at most the odd verse, or a false head or a false tail. Her attitude to her verse was artisan-like: if she couldn’t get a table out of the material, she was quite happy to get a chair, or even a toy. The end product for her was not so much a successful poem, as something that had temporarily exhausted her ingenuity. So this book contains not merely what verse she saved, but—after 1956—all she wrote. — Ted Hughes, from the Introduction

'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.
