these nights I spend with my ghosts by Lauren Underwood

these nights I spend with my ghosts is a poetry book that explores the pain of heartbreak and depression, and all the ways we can find healing—even from the parts of ourselves that we grieve the most. Told in three parts, the reader is taken through a journey of hollowness, molting, and renewal, each told with raw honesty and varying poetic structure.

Whether you're navigating relationships, facing challenges, or searching for connection, this book offers reflections on shared experiences. Each poem serves as a reminder that healing takes time, and we’re never truly alone in our struggles

Selected Poems (Penguin Classics) by Alfred Tennyson

 'Into the jaw of Death Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred'

As Poet Laureate during much of Queen Victoria's reign, Alfred Lord Tennyson's spellbinding poetry epitomized the Victorian age. The works in this volume trace nearly sixty years of his literary careerand show the wide variety of poetic forms he mastered. This selection gives some of Tennyson's most famous works in full, including Maud, depicting a tragic love affair, and In Memoriam, a profound tribute to his dearest friend. Excerpts from Idylls of the King show a lifelong passion for Arthurian legend, also seen in the dream-like The Lady of Shalot and in Morte d'Arthur. Other works respond to contemporary events, such as Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington, written in Tennyson's official role as Poet Laureate, or the patriotic Charge of the Light Brigade, while Locksley Hall provides a Utopian vision of the future, and the late poem Crossing the Bar is a haunting meditation on his own mortality.

Selected Poems is edited with an introduction and notes by Christopher Ricks. In his introduction, Ricks discusses aspects of Tennyson's life and works, his revisions of his poems, and his friendship with Arthur Hallam. This edition also includes a chronology, further reading and notes.

The Ghost Forest: New and Selected Poems by Kimiko Hahn

“Borrowing from [such writers as] Elizabeth Bishop and Chimako Tada, featuring ghosts and geoglyphs, writing in form and free verse, Kimiko Hahn’s broad and eclectic approach reveals a mind as vast as the terrains it traverses.”―Nicole Sealey, Poetry magazine

Opening with forty-three new formally inventive poems and leading the reader back in time through selections from her ten previous volumes, The Ghost Forest offers a contemplative and haunting narrative of a writer’s artistic journey through craft and form while illuminating her personal history. Exploring the mysteries of science, nature, and the experiences of contemporary womanhood, Hahn both reinvents classic Japanese forms and experiments with traditional Western ones. Braided into the poems and narrative thread, a series of photos transforms the new-and-selected into a hybrid autobiography. This arresting collection derives new beauty from long-gone remnants.

A Riotous Disorder

She mistakes one word for another―

Something her brain naturally concocts.

Her unruly gray matter and her heart

Mistake one word for an other―

Razor for river, cistern for sister.

Even cock for clock.

She mistakes one word for a mother―

A safe her brain naturally unlocks.―
