  • DYAD
    Richard Berengarten / Will Hill
    DYAD is a collaboration between a poet and a graphic artist. In its thirty-two image-poems, linear reading expands into spatial exploration, so that each piece is both a poem and a work of visual art. More than a text or script, other than a mere series or set of segments of alphabetic writing, each image-poem turns, rather, into an intricate artefact with a plasticity of its o...

  • The Wine Cup
    Richard Berengarten
    Sonnet-sequences have a history of nearly 1,000 years. But a sequence of villanelles? Here, perhaps for the first time ever in English, is a suite of twenty-four of them. The delicate instrument of the villanelle is played, lightly and gently, to salute Tao Yuanming, Chinese poet, Daoist, recluse, and a great Lord of Wine, who lived more than 1,500 years ago.'In these beautiful...

  • Imagems 2
    Richard Berengarten
    Imagems 2 contains six statements by a poet who continues to challenge modernism and post-modernism alike. This chapbook complements and elaborates Richard Berengarten’s Imagems 1 (2013).

  • 12 Greek Poems After Cavafy
    Paschalis Nikolaou / Richard Berengarten
    Throughout his adult life, C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) rarely journeyed outside his native Alexandria, although he spent some of his childhood years in Liver-pool and London. In the course of the 20th and 21st centuries, the reach of his poetry has been immense. It has been witnessed and addressed through a global wealth of versions, imitations and rewritings: those poems written ...

  • Notness
    Richard Berengarten
    This sequence of one hundred sonnets was composed between 1967 and 2013. The title, Notness, is an anagram of the word ’Sonnets’. The word ’Metaphysical’ in the subtitle is, I hope, a pointer to some of the tendencies and intentions in and surrounding the title. The only further key - or, rather, hint - that I think needs to be offered here is that the so-called ’core’ of isnes...

Passionate and thoughtful, demanding and rewarding, this moral and joyous work is European in context but u...
