Todo lo que necesito existe ya en mí
Con una sensibilidad exquisita, rupi kaur aborda en todo lo que necesito existe ya en mí algunos de los temas por los que se dio a conocer con sus anteriores obras como el feminismo, el trauma, la pérdida o el amor, pero en esta ocasión da un paso más allá y revela, en un ejercicio único de generosidad y honestidad, experiencias muy personales como el modo en que ha lidiado los últimos años con la depresión, el éxito o la presión a la que se ha visto sometida. Capaz de traducir en palabras sensaciones y sentimientos complejos, exhibe además una notable sabiduría para desgranar males de nuestro tiempo como la autoexigencia, las enfermedades mentales o las relaciones tóxicas.

Sonnets
Love sonnets are for romantics, starry-eyed lovers and ardent hearts. And Shakespeare's sonnets are the best ever written. But this is why they are also for cynics, for star-crossed lovers and for those who know the anguish of unrequited love.Some appear to be written to a young man, some to a woman. And although the poems are full of mystery - why did Shakespeare write them, and to whom? - each one speaks to us from across the centuries of love, hate and the intensity of being alive.INTRODUCED BY ANDREW McMILLAN'This is a crazy, all-consuming, feverish and sweaty love; love, in all its uncut, full-strength intensity; an adolescent love' Don Paterson, Guardian

The Dark Between Stars
From the internationally bestselling author of LOVE HER WILD comes THE DARK BETWEEN STARS, a new illustrated collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems from Instagram poetry sensation, Atticus.Atticus has captured the hearts and minds of nearly 700k followers (including stars like Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys). In his second collection of poetry, The Dark Between Stars, he turns his attention to the dualities of our lived experiences--the inescapable connections between our highest highs and lowest lows. He captures the infectious energy of starting a relationship, the tumultuous realities of commitment, and the agonizing nostalgia of being alone again. While grappling with the question of how to live with purpose and find meaning in the journey, these poems offer both honest explorations of loneliness and our search for connection, as well as light-hearted, humorous observations. As Atticus writes poignantly about dancing, Paris, jazz clubs, sunsets, sharing a bottle of wine on the river, rainy days, creating, and destroying, he illustrates that we need moments of both beauty and pain--the darkness and the stars---to fully appreciate all that life and love have to offer.
