Think of this as a course catalogue, with courses arranged into departments. As the great French mathematician and philosopher René Descartes once noted, if you really want to live, first think about it. 'Sabrina Ramet is widely known as the most authoritative scholar on the history of the Yugoslav world in the twentieth century. But she is also a poet and in this new collection of her verse, she delights us with her polished wit and deadly accurate observations on the universe (and contemporary life). She has a light and unfailingly accurate touch on the mood of the moment, and this collection is unhesitatingly recommended.' ―James Pettifer, Professor of History at Oxford University. 'No one has as much fun with important ideas as the prolific and witty Sabrina Ramet. She cajoles the reader into thinking hard between laughs, and reminds us that playing with philosophy can help us keep in perspective some of the more ephemeral intellectual vogues that so often distract us.' ―David Kanin, Professorial Lecturer, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University.

Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular.
