      Tři ženy z přelomu devatenáctého a dvacátého století, které psaly ženám. Tři různé poetiky a tři různé osudy v jedné sbírce básní v překladu a s krátkým doslovem Sylvy Ficové a Anny Štičkové, s ilustracemi Silvie Vavřinové. Dokoupit lze látkové buttony se jmény básnířek. Čtenářky (a snad i čtenáři) lesbické poezie mohoumít někdy dojem, že dnešní básnířky kromě antické Sapfó z řecké Mytilény nemají snad žádné předchůdkyně. Sapfické motivy přitom najdeme nejen ve starozákonní knize Rút, ale i ve spisech křesťanských mystiček včetně Hildegardy von Bingen, v sedmnáctém století u anglické dramatičky a autorky prvního románu Aphry Behn, později v básních hraběnky Anne Finch a v devatenáctém století třeba v denících Anne Lister nebo u čínské básnířky Wu Zao… Tento útlý svazek představuje tři další jména – tři americké autorky, tři různé poetiky a tři různé osudy žen z přelomu devatenáctého a dvacátého století, které psaly ženám: výstřední Emily Dickinson, o které si jiní rádi mysleli, že je tak trochu blázen; vášnivé sběratelky knih Amy Lowell, které Ezra Pound nemohl přijít na jméno, protože si dovolila vydat antologie imagistické poezie i bez jeho posvěcení; a extrovertní Gertrude Stein, která provozovala společenský salon nedaleko Lucemburské zahrady v Paříži, kam docházeli Picasso, Fitzgerald, Hemingway či Matisse. Tři různé poetiky a tři různé osudy v jedné sbírce básní v překladu a s krátkým doslovem Sylvy Ficové a Anny Štičkové, s ilustracemi Silvie Vavřinové.

      BLINDER RAUM ist die erste größere Monografie des südburgenländischen Künstlers FRANZ VANA. Sie bietet Einblick in sein grafisches Werk von 1972 bis 2021. Seine eigenwillige, abstrakte wie gegenständliche Formensprache verwebt witzreiche Wortspiele, geometrische Fragmente und zuweilen fantasiereiche Motive auf Bildflächen. Die größtenteils monochromen Grafitarbeiten zeugen von einem subtilen Empfinden für Körper, Formen, Licht und Schatten. Eine Werkmonografie mit Textbeiträgen von Barbara Horvath, Henri Michaux, Franz Vana und Martin Zeiller.

      Women Who Wrote

      Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.
