Haunting the Black Air by Anthony Joseph; Selected Poems by Leontia Flynn; Sparrow on the Rooftop by Rachel Long; You Must Live: New Poetry from Palestine, edited by Jorie Graham; Melete by Jennifer Lee Tsai; Somebody Should Have Pressed Record by Galia Admoni Haunting the Black Air by Anthony Joseph (Bloomsbury, £12.99) Joseph’s follow-up to the TS Eliot prize-winning Sonnets for Albert sees his poetic approach become more radical. He pays homage to avant garde writers such as Will Alexander and Nathaniel Mackey, while exploring “Nostalgia, mostly grief, / a haunting sound – / the frequency of some / magnetic feeling.” That makes for challenging syntax on first reading the poems. Persist, and Joseph’s unabashed lyricism shines through, finding beauty on dancefloors, city streets and in Trinidadian landscapes: “the way music fills the room, how we embrace until / we become flare bright, light as the white refraction / of the sun upon the summit of hills.” Selected Poems by Leontia Flynn (Carcanet, £14.99) She was a Next Generation poet and Forward prize winner; it’s a shock to remember that Flynn has been publishing for more than 20 years, so fresh do her poems remain. This assembly is a glorious reintroduction to her mordant wit, imaginative image-making and unerring ability to puncture pretension. Letter to Friends from 2011 is a brilliant, Auden-esque dissection of the early 21st century, worth a library of political analyses: “daily threats brought to our Way of Life / by man-made imminent apocalypse / though neither really outweighs private grief”. There are pleasures on every page. Continue reading...
China's river city is transforming itself from a transit hub into a cultural destination through poetry, heritage and the landscapes of the Yangtze.
By Kennedy Awodi In the asymmetric landscapes of modern warfare, the definition of a frontline is no longer confined to trenches and physical borders. The threats of the twenty-first century insurgency, banditry, and ideological terrorism are fluid, mutating rapidly across geography, digital spaces, and human psychology. Confronted with this reality, Nigeria’s defense apparatus is undergoing a […] The post Faith and Tech: Nigeria’s new counter-insurgency strategy appeared first on Vanguard News.
Alex Katz’s pursuit of the fleeting present takes center stage at the exhibition “Studies” at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in Seoul, unveiling how the American painter captures a passing moment before refining it into his signature large-format canvases. The exhibition offers a rare glimpse of the working process of the celebrated artist, now 97, whose career spans more than seven decades. Rather than focusing solely on the monumental portraits and landscapes that made him internationally renowned, t

‘Megafires’ in California, Canada, South Korea and Europe in 2025, but changes to farming slowed spread in parts of Africa “Devastating” wildfires ripped across the wealthier parts of the world in 2025, a study has found, even as globally, the area ravaged by flames fell. Catastrophic blazes claimed lives, homes and jobs last year in California, Canada, Europe and South Korea. But the 335m hectares burned was the second-lowest since 2002, the review found, largely owing to the expansion of African farms that have fragmented landscapes and hampered the spread of large savannah fires.

Early works show a less familiar side to the Scottish artist celebrated for her flower and cat paintings She may be best known for accessible paintings of flowers and cats but a new exhibition of Elizabeth Blackadder’s work focuses instead on chilly landscapes and pared-back still life compositions. The show in Hampshire, far from Blackadder’s Scottish home, presents a less familiar side of the artist, with most of the pieces exhibited for the first time. Continue reading...

Long before heroes were rendered in pixels and landscapes built from digital code, the Bicol Region had already been telling stories of courage, monsters and destiny through the ancient verses of the Ibalong Epic. Passed down through generations, the epic remains one of the Philippines’ most treasured literary and cultural inheritances, though for many, its
Martel’s documentary about the shooting of Javier Chocobar is a mannered and dignified work, laden with post-colonial tension and the weight of institutions The great doyenne of Argentine cinema, writer-director Lucrecia Martel (La Ciénaga, The Holy Girl, The Headless Woman), ventures into documentary to cover a murder trial, the issues of which spill out into very Martelian areas of concern: land and terrain as an active force in people’s lives, the tension between Indigenous people and the descendants of colonists, the legacy of weighty institutions (the law, the church) on everyday people. Like Martel’s fictional features, Landmarks unfolds in stately fashion, and features the sort of editing that lingers on the face of a speaker holding forth, or follows a cleaner polishing furniture and a clerk distributing dainty cups of coffee to the authorities as the arguments drag on. Martel explores the more poetic side of drone technology, giving the viewer a very clear understanding of the lay of the land while also creating oneiric, disorienting sequences in which we see goats and people ambling along mountain paths upside down, creating what looks like abstract landscapes in tonal shades of green. It’s really quite beautiful – if sometimes a touch soporific. Continue reading...
The posts look natural enough, if a little AI-sloppy. Beautiful landscapes with recognizable local landmarks in the distance and a bold message: “It’s not worth giving up an inch of this to a data center.” Your suspicions might be aroused by the fact that the message is so similar, despite the pages in question allegedly ...
