A story of sibling love ruptured by the Iron Curtain, by one of the most significant East German writers.
“I will never forgive you,” Uli says to his sister Elisabeth.
Disillusioned by life in the East, Uli also dreams of escape, while Elisabeth still holds out hope for the political project of the GDR. With physical checkpoints and ideological tensions between them, the siblings must navigate emotional rifts as they enter into a drama fueled by love in this unflinching portrayal of life in the early years of the German Democratic Republic.
One of the most significant East German writers, Brigitte Reimann (1933–1973) wrote irreverent, autobiographical works that addressed issues and sensibilities otherwise repressed in the GDR. Outspoken and idealistic, she wrote in her diaries that she would rather “live 30 wild years instead of 70 well-behaved ones.”
Considered a master of socialist realism, she heeded the state’s call for artists to engage with the people, teaching writing classes for industrial plant workers. Of her generation’s suffering, she wrote to her brother, “We marched forth carrying such a heavy baggage of ideals.”
After her death from cancer in 1973, at age 39, Reimann garnered cult-like attention. This is her first work of fiction to appear in English.

Een dezer dagen verschijnt Samenval / Gabungan, een boek met afbeeldingen van schilderijen en sculpturen van Edith Bons en daarbij geschreven gedichten van Albert Hagenaars. Alle tekst is in het Nederlands en Indonesisch.
Een voorpublicatie verschijnt in Fleurs du Mal Magazine.
De eerste stap in het proces dat tot het project Samenval /Gabungan zou leiden werd gezet in Indonesisch-Nederlands Cultureel Centrum Karta Pustaka in Yogyakarta, hoofdstad van de Javaanse cultuur. Al in 1986 mocht Edith Bons daar een expositie inrichten. Het was haar eerste activiteit in Indonesië, waar zij werd geboren en een deel van haar jeugd doorbracht.
Jaren later volgde Siti Wahyuningsih uit het nabije Pundong met het oog op haar huwelijk met Albert Hagenaars en verhuizing naar Europa een cursus Nederlands in hetzelfde centrum. Tijdens een bezoek daar kwamen beiden in contact met theaterman en dichter Landung Simatupang, die Alberts poëziebundel Tropendrift in Bahasa Indonesia zou vertalen. Deze oorspronkelijk in het Nederlands geschreven gedichten waren eerder in een vertaling van John Irons in het Engels verschenen.
In 2007 ontving Edith Bons de uitnodiging om een installatie met rijst in Karta Pustaka in te richten. Tijdens een plechtigheid in het centrum stelde Landung Simatupang Albert en Siti voor aan de dichter Winarko Boesrie en diens vrouw Edith.
Dit contact kon zich zowel in Nederland als op Java verdiepen, wat tot verschillende vormen van samenwerking leidde.
Zo maakte Edith speciaal voor de drietalige bundel Palawija / De derde oogst / The third harvest (2010) van Albert Hagenaars het werk Javanese girl.
In december 2010 organiseerden 38 CC (Delft) en Galerie Ariana (Den Haag) ter gelegenheid van haar 25-jarig kunstjubileum een retrospectieve tentoonstelling in Bacinol 2 in Delft, het gebouw waar zij al jarenlang een atelier heeft. Zowel Winarko als Albert las tijdens de opening uit eigen werk voor. Laatstgenoemde ging daarbij in op de overeenkomsten tussen zijn werk en dat van Edith, wees op het belang van thema’s als de doorwerking van het verleden, vervreemding, vruchtbaarheid en samenleving. Ook gebruiken ze soortgelijke contrasten: west-oost in het algemeen en Indonesië-Nederland in het bijzonder, man-vrouw, jong-oud, traditie-vernieuwing, en alle twee zetten ze veelvuldig het motief rijst in.
Albert publiceerde in 2011 de beschouwing Edith Bons – 25 jaar kunstenaar en in juli 2012 schreef hij een recensie over de tweetalige gedichtenbundel Beelddicht van Winarko.
Ook nog in 2012 droeg hij zijn poëzievideo Palawija aan Edith Bons op.
Ondertussen correspondeerden ze volop en bezochten ze elkaars tentoonstellingen en boekpresentaties.
Albert kreeg zodoende steeds meer affiniteit met het werk van Edith. In 2018 stelde hij daarom voor om gedichten bij haar werk te maken. Aanvankelijk dacht hij aan enkele verzen voor een catalogus maar gaandeweg groeide het plan uit tot het boek Samenval / Gabungan, met veertig schilderijen en sculpturen en evenzoveel daarbij geschreven gedichten.
Barney Agerbeek schreef de inleiding van het boek. Deze romancier, dichter en kunstkenner, geboren in Surabaya en wonend in Nederland, werkte lange tijd als bankier in Indonesië. Hij gebruikte zijn ervaringen daar en in andere landen in diverse boeken.
Samenval / Gabungan is aldus het resultaat van een langdurige samenwerking van kunstenaars die in vriendschap verbonden zijn door eenzelfde passie: nieuwsgierigheid naar interculturele interactie, liefde voor Indonesië en het versterken van begrip over en weer.

A specter, haunting the edges of society: because neoliberalism insists there are no social classes, thus, there is no working class, the main subject of Hotel Oblivion, a working class subject, does not exist.
With no access to a past, she has no home, no history, no memory. And yet, despite all this, she will not assimilate. Instead, this book chronicles the subject’s repeated attempts at locating an exit from capitalist society via acts of negative freedom and through engagement with the death drive, whose aim is complete destruction in order to begin all over again.
In the end, of course, the only true exit and only possibility for emancipation for the working class subject is through a return to one’s self. In Hotel Oblivion, through a series of fragments and interrelated poems, Cruz resists invisibilizing forces, undergoing numerous attempts at transfiguration in a concerted effort to escape her fate.
Cynthia Cruz is the author of six collections of poems: Guidebooks for the Dead (Four Way Books, 2020), Dregs (Four Way Books, 2018), How the End Begins (Four Way Books, 2016), Wunderkammer (Four Way Books, 2014), The Glimmering Room (Four Way Books, 2012) and Ruin (Alice James Books, 2006). Disquieting: Essays on Silence, a collection of critical essays exploring the concept of silence as a form of resistance, was published by Book*hug in the spring of 2019. The Melancholia of Class, an exploration of melancholia and the working class, was published by Repeater Books in July of 2021.
Cruz earned an MA in German Language and Literature from Rutgers University and is currently pursuing a PhD at the European Graduate School where her area of research is psychoanalysis and philosophy. Cruz teaches in the Graduate Writing Program at Columbia University and is a visiting writer in the MFA Writing Program at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She is also a mentor in the Low Residency MFA Writing Program at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Cruz co-edits the multi- disciplinary online journal, Schlag Magazine.

A poetic evaluation of what it means to grow up a girl, and how this intersects with disability/visual impairment.
An Eye For An Eye For An Eye explores what it means to grow up a girl, and how this experience intersects with disability and visual impairment.
These poems concern themselves with looking: looking back over a childhood, looking again at what’s in front of us, and looking forward to possible futures. They visit girlhood and myth, blindness and friendship. They celebrate the freedom, shame, and awkwardness of coming to terms with our own bodies, and they ask what it means to look different and see differently.
Ellen Renton is a poet, performer, and theatre maker from Edinburgh whose writing has been published in a number of literary magazines. She she has performed at venues and festivals around the UK, is a co-founder of In The Works spoken word theatre company, and is the creator of the one woman poetry show Within Sight.
(…) They say, you are so brave and persistent.
You say thank you and ask for help.
They say, what do you think of this cosy lining?
You ask for help.
They say, I admire you, so brave and so persistent.

Pit Lullabies is Jessica Traynor’s third collection, following Liffey Swim (2014) and The Quick (2019).

This keenly anticipated new collection from the Costa Poetry Award-winner speaks ‘out of fear and grief into splendour and joy’.
Following their award-winning debut, Flèche (2019), comes Mary Jean Chan’s gleaming second collection: Bright Fear. Through poems which engage fearlessly with intertwined themes of identity, multilingualism and postcolonial legacy, Chan’s latest work explores a family’s evolving dynamics, as well as microaggressions stemming from queerphobia and anti-Asian racism that accompanied the Covid pandemic.
Yet Bright Fear remains deeply attuned to moments of beauty, tenderness and grace. It asks how we might find a home within our own bodies, in places both distant and near, and in the ‘constructed space’ of the poem. The contemplative central sequence, Ars Poetica, traces the radically healing and transformative role of poetry during the poet’s teenage and adult years, culminating in a polyphonic reconciliation of tongues. Throughout, Chan offers us new and galvanising ways to ‘withstand the quotidian tug- / of-war between terror and love’.
Mary Jean Chan is the author of Flèche (Faber, 2019), which won the Costa Book Award for Poetry and was shortlisted for the International Dylan Thomas Prize, the John Pollard Foundation International Poetry Prize, the Jhalak Prize, the Seamus Heaney Centre First Collection Poetry Prize and a Lambda Literary Award. Chan won the 2018 Geoffrey Dearmer Prize and was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem in 2017 and 2019, receiving an Eric Gregory Award in 2019. Chan co-edited the anthology 100 Queer Poems (Vintage, 2022) with Andrew McMillan, and is a judge for the 2023 Booker Prize. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Chan serves as Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing (Poetry) at Oxford Brookes University and lives in Oxford.
Most mornings, you see the face
of a boy in the mirror. You
expect to fall in love with him,
someday. Meanwhile, your fingers
brush the wrist of another girl as
you jostle into the assembly hall,
and you understand that sin was
never meant to be easy, only
sweet. What might light up the
pond you sat beside in dreams,
eyeing skin and so much depth it
would be years before you dared?
What curvature of tongue might
you taste, as if another’s breath
were blessing? One night, you find
yourself back there. You dream.
A voice says: Hell is not other
people. You sink, stripped of the
glowing dress you wore for
thousands of days.

Inspiring oral histories of women fighting for justice and radical social change at community, state, and national levels.
Award-winning oral historian Lynn Lewis brings together the stories of nine exceptional women, from their earliest formative experiences to their current strategies as movement leaders, organizers, and cultural workers.
Each chapter is dedicated to one activist—Malkia Devich-Cyril, Priscilla Gonzalez, Terese Howard, Hilary Moore, Vanessa Nosie, Roz Pelles, Loretta Ross, Yomara Velez, and Betty Yu.
Reflecting upon the path their lives have taken, they talk about their struggles and aspirations, insights and victories, and what keeps them in the fight for a better world.
The life stories of these inspiring women reveal the many ways the experience of injustice can catalyze resistance and a commitment to making change. They demonstrate how the relationships and bonds of collective struggle for the common good not only win justice, but create hope, love, and joy.
Lynn Lewis (editor) is an oral historian, educator, and community organizer. She is the author of Love and Collective Resistance: Lessons from the Picture the Homeless Oral History Project and is the former executive director and past civil rights organizer at Picture the Homeless. Lewis is the recipient of many honors and awards, including a 2022/2023 National Endowment for the Humanities Oral History Fellowship. She lives in New York City.

Beautiful in the Mouth was selected by Thomas Lux as winner of BOA’s A. Poulin, Jr., Poetry Prize and it debuted in the top ten on the Poetry Foundation bestseller list.
In it, Kuipers combines frank sensuality with sincere emotion, yielding poems that travel from New York City to the American West on a exploration of love and loss.
Set against both literal and figurative geography—the empty bedroom of a dead child, a clear-cut hillside outside a logging town—these poems examine how loss transforms our most unwilling landscapes.
Thomas Lux selected this debut collection as winner of BOA’s A. Poulin, Jr., Poetry Prize.
In his foreword he writes, “I was immediately struck by the boldness of imagination, the strange cadences, and wild music of these poems.
We should be glad that young poets like Keetje Kuipers are making their voices heard not by tearing up the old language but by making the old language new.”
Keetje Kuipers, a native of the Northwest, earned her BA at Swarthmore College and MFA at the University of Oregon. A Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, she divides her time between Stanford and Missoula, Montana.

One of Library Journal’s “Thirty Amazing Poetry Titles for Spring 2014,” The Keys to the Jail asks the question of who is to blame for all we’ve lost, calling us to reexamine the harsh words of failed love, the aging of a once-beautiful body, even our own voracious desires.
With daring leaps and unflinching observations, these richly textured lyrics travel from Montana’s great wildernesses to the ocean-fogged streets of San Francisco as they search out the heart that’s lost its way.

(. . .) Shirtless
in the phosphorescent gloom of streetlamps,
they lie suspended. This is my one good
life—watching the exchange of embraces,
counting the faces assembled outside
the ice-cream shop, sweet tinge of urine by
the bridge above the tracks, broken bike lock
of the gay couple’s hands, desperate clapping
of dark pigeons—who will take it from me?
(. . .)
