Una historia de amor para dos cuerpos. El poemario Todas las noches que fuimos humo trata de una historia de amor que transcurre en una habitación de hotel en la Gran Vía madrileña en el espacio de una noche de verano. Los dos protagonistas se citan para cenar al caer el sol y se despiden a primera hora de la mañana siguiente cuando amanece. Esa noche ambos pasan por diferentes estados de ánimo, algunos compartidos y otros secretos, y se entregan a lo que sucede debajo de las sábanas: lo íntimo, lo privado, el deseo, la soledad, el miedo y la ternura.

Il gemello inquieto alberga tra le pieghe sinuose del ricordo e quelle più scabre del dolore e dell'esperienza. Si nutre dei riflessi fugaci e delle luci parassite, cresce e muta forma , si distingue ma ci somiglia. Al primo sguardo lo si potrebbe confondere con Noi stessi, ma, di fatto, ne è parte attiva, simbiotica, osmotica. Ci suggerisce e ci sussurra, ci sostiene e ci giudica, ci ascolta e ci consiglia.

Da infância à maturidade vivemos diversos tipos de amores em momentos diferentes e com intensidades também diferentes. Amores superficiais, momentâneos; amores de toda uma existência, encontros, despedidas; amores que sempre serão lembrados, outros que foram esquecidos; amores impossíveis, intensos, sofridos, idealizados, platônicos, inventados... São 17 poemas de felicidade, tristeza, convívio, desejo, incertezas…, mas sobretudo de amor.

Cada poema é como a última tragada de um cigarro aceso: breve, densa e inevitavelmente efêmera. Nosso amor foi queimado como cinzas de um cigarro é uma coleção de poesias intensas e melancólicas sobre amores que ardem, consomem e desaparecem.

Luci Shaw is now 90 years old. The author of more than 35 collections of poetry and creative non-fiction over the last five decades, she describes her dedication to this art as a burden to "speak into a culture that finds it hard to listen." This collection of new poems—all composed over the last two years—is in many ways the culmination of a stunning career.

The ancient story and legend of the fall of Troy.

Tom Stodulka has loved to write for many years, though as a child he found this form of expression was a struggle. As the years progressed, through high school and law school, Stodulka gained an appreciation of language and how it could be used as a tool for making a difference. His confidence grew enough to write diaries of his life in the Navy and eventually in 1976, on board the HMAS Duchess, he wrote his first poem, The World and the Future, which features in his first publication, Storm Clouds and Silver Linings; My Journey.
