WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREA haunting new book by a poet whose voice speaks of all our lifetimesLouise Gluck's thirteenth book is among her most haunting. Here as in the Wild Iris there is a chorus, but the speakers are entirely human, simultaneously spectral and ancient. Winter Recipes from the Collective is chamber music, an invitation into that privileged realm small enough for the individual instrument to make itself heard, dolente, its line sustained, carried, and then taken up by the next instrument, spirited, animoso, while at the same time being large enough to contain a whole lifetime, the inconceivable gifts and losses of old age, the little princesses rattling in the back of a car, an abandoned passport, the ingredients of an invigorating winter sandwich, a sister's death, the joyful presence of the sun, its brightness measured by the darkness it casts. "e;Some of you will know what I mean,"e; the poet says, by which she means, some of you will follow me. Hers is the sustaining presence, the voice containing all our lifetimes, "e;all the worlds, each more beautiful than the last."e; This magnificent book couldn't have been written by anyone else, nor could it have been written by the poet at any other time in her life.

This is my offering to the heart and soul of the reader: Some warmth for the winter wind, a light that can be held in the palm of your hands. Allow these words to once more; find you where you''ve been and take them wherever you wish to go.

Poems of resilience, healing and hope from Instagram sensation and voice of a generation Nikita Gill

Det myldrer med skøre indfald og skæve eksistenser i denne galgenhumoristiske skrønesamling om livet som flygtning i smørhullet Danmark. Med et satirisk glimt i øjet uddeler forfatteren kærlige los til sine omgivelser, hvad enten de hedder Bjarne eller Smajo, og ligegyldigt om de kommer fra Valby eller Bosnien-Hercegovina. Det handler nemlig ikke om, hvor vi er født, hvilken gud vi tror på, eller hvilken fodboldklub vi holder med (bare det ikke er Liverpool!). Så længe der er kaffe på kanden - eller endnu bedre: blommebrændevin i glasset - skal vi nok blive enige om det meste. "Duften af petrichor" er en morsom og melankolsk hyldest til vores fælles menneskelighed.
