Plainspeak
In this startling sequence of poems, readers will experience Alben's unorthodox alter-ego-thinking-out-louder poems with the same exhilaration as they might engage with art or jazz. The poems in Plainspeak deal with place, ancestral ties, solitude, flight, sickness, insomnia and the embattled and baffled absurdities of daily life, playing with formal boundaries, linguistic identity and the lyrical poetic voice.
Ai! Ai! Pianissimo
There are surprises at the turn of every line in Astrid Alben's new book. Intensely visual, erotically charged and linguistically adventurous, her poems explore love and life with deft humour and poise. Belonging is difficult but the impulse to connect remains as powerful as ever.
Chameleon
After first making her mark as a compelling performer, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck was acclaimed as one of Europe's most innovative and original new voices in poetry. Her first English translation combines her debut volume Chameleon (2015) with its sequel Nachtroer (2017), its title the name of all-night shop in Antwerp where she lives.
Findings on Ice
The Pars Foundation was founded from the conviction that art and science are both essentially creative processes. Artists begin with an idea that is ultimately expressed in the form of music, images, or words. Scientists begin with a hypothesis, sketch an idea, and then test and describe it. Every year Pars invites artists and scientists to make a contribution to creative thinking. The current topic, a oeIcea, is situated in a wide variety of contexts: in connection with greenhouse effect, the rise in sea level, or a dancera's muscles before making his first move. Ice absorbs sounds, reflects heat, and cools drinks. Pars Findings demonstrates a variety of different perspectives and ideas by artists and scientists. The book Pars Findings on Ice functions as a visual and textual introduction to the ideas and visions of the artist and scientists who have a strong influence on our perception of today's world. 126 illustrations

Grief, Identity, and the Arts
Death and grief have often elicited the response of creativity, from elegies and requiems to memorial architecture. Such artistic expressions of grief form the focus of Grief, Identity, and the Arts, which brings together scholars from the disciplines of musicology, literature, sociology, film studies, social work, and museum studies. While presenting one or more case studies from a range of artistic disciplines, historical periods, or geographical areas, each chapter addresses the interdependence of grief and identity in the arts. The volume as a whole shows how artistic expressions of grief are both influenced by and contribute to constructions of religious, national, familial, social, and artistic identities. Contributors to this volume: Tammy Clewell, Lizet Duyvendak, David Gist, Maryam Haiawi, Owen Hansen, Maggie Jackson, Christoph Jedan, Bram Lambrecht, Carlo Leo, Wolfgang Marx, Tijl Nuyts, Despoina Papastathi, Julia Płaczkiewicz, Bavjola Shatro, Caroline Supply, Nicolette van den Bogerd, Eric Venbrux, Janneke Weijermars, Miriam Wendling, and Mariske Westendorp.
