Like Love
A CAREER-SPANNING COLLECTION OF INSPIRING, REVELROUS ESSAYS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS<BR><BR>'Like Love may be one of the most movingly specific, the most lovingly unruly celebrations of the ethics of friendship we have' Guardian<BR><BR>'Incisive, smart and witty, it will leave you looking and love and life anew' i<BR><BR>Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson's brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide - from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Kara Walker to Bjork - but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression and perversity; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making.<BR><BR>The collection is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelson's own development as a writer, and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.<BR><BR>'Maggie Nelson is one of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic' Sinéad Gleeson

Freiheit
Eine der wichtigsten Stimmen der feministischen und queeren Literatur: 'Wenige Autorinnen oder Autoren schaffen es, einen so ins Denken zu bringen, wie Nelson das tut.' Insa Wilke, SZMaggie Nelson erkundet die kontroversen Fragen unserer Gegenwart: Wer darf das Leid anderer darstellen? Gibt es jemals echten Konsens beim Sex? Worauf müssen wir heute verzichten, um ein Morgen zu ermöglichen? Und können wir überhaupt in Freiheit leben, ohne uns selbst oder anderen Zwänge aufzuerlegen? Mit intellektueller Schärfe und großer Empathie führt sie uns an unbekannte Orte des Denkens - und zeigt, was es heißen könnte, frei zu sein.

Bluets
Maggie Nelson kennt alle Schattierungen und Geheimnisse der Farbe Blau - stolz hütet sie ihre Sammlung blauer Objekte -, und sie kennt alle Künstler, die dem Blau verfallen waren: ob Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday oder Yves Klein. Aber zugleich nutzt sie die Farbe, um sich selbst zu erkunden. Denn hinter all dem Nachsinnen über Blau verbirgt sich die Geschichte einer tragischen Liebe. Er, der Prinz des Blauen, hat sie verlassen. Also gibt sie sich mit ganzer Kraft dem hin, was von ihm übrig ist: dem Blau. Kaum jemand hat seinen Schmerz auf so poetische, inspirierende Weise seziert, wie Maggie Nelson es hier tut - eine lyrische, philosophische und sehr persönliche Erkundung der eigenen Leidensfähigkeit.

Pathemata
A profound and deeply personal exploration of pain, the body and loss by the beloved author of Bluets and The Argonauts<BR><BR>'Full of warmth, wisdom and weirdness' JENNY MUSTARD<BR><BR>This is a dreamlike portrait of a body in struggle to connect with itself and others. As the narrator contends with chronic pain, and with a pandemic raging in the background, she sets out to examine the literal and symbolic role of the mouth in the life of a writer.<BR><BR>Pathemata recounts the narrator's tragicomic search to alleviate her suffering, a search that eventually becomes a reckoning with various forms of loss - the loss of intimacy, the loss of her father and the loss of a pivotal friend and mentor. In exacting, distilled prose, her account blurs the lines between embodied, unconscious and everyday life.<BR><BR>Praise for Maggie Nelson<BR><BR>'I remember where I was when I read each of Maggie Nelson's books in the same way I remember a place where I heard important news' ANNE ENRIGHT<BR><BR>'Always brilliant' GEOFF DYER<BR><BR>'Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' OLIVIA LAING

The Red Parts
Selected as a Book of the Year 2017 in the Guardian<BR><BR>'Maggie Nelson's short, singular books feel pretty light in the hand... But in the head and the heart, they seem unfathomably vast, their cleverness and odd beauty lingering on' Observer<BR><BR>In 1969, Jane Mixer, a first-year law student at the University of Michigan, posted a note on a student noticeboard to share a lift back to her hometown of Muskegon for spring break. She never made it: she was brutally murdered, her body found a few miles from campus the following day.<BR><BR>The Red Parts is Maggie Nelson's singular account of her aunt Jane's death, and the trial that took place some 35 years afterward. Officially unsolved for decades, the case was reopened in 2004 after a DNA match identified a new suspect, who would soon be arrested and tried. In 2005, Nelson found herself attending the trial, and reflecting with fresh urgency on our relentless obsession with violence, particularly against women.<BR><BR> Resurrecting her interior world during the trial - in all its horror, grief, obsession, recklessness, scepticism and downright confusion - Maggie Nelson has produced a work of profound integrity and, in its subtle indeterminacy, deadly moral precision.

The Slicks
A rallying, celebratory essay about Sylvia Plath, Taylor Swift and unbridled female ambition by the beloved author of Bluets and The Argonauts<BR><BR>In The Slicks, Maggie Nelson positions culture-dominating pop superstar Taylor Swift and feminist cult icon Sylvia Plath as twin hosts of the female urge towards wanting hard, working hard and pouring forth - and as twinned targets of patriarchy's ancient urge to disparage, trivialise and demonise such prolific, intimate output.<BR><BR>A heady and rallying melding of popular culture and literary criticism, The Slicks is an inspired and unexpected assessment of two iconic female artists by one of the most revered and influential critics of her generation.<BR><BR>PRAISE FOR MAGGIE NELSON:<BR><BR>'Her words come as though from a great distance and strike incredibly close' Anne Enright<BR><BR>'Among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation' Olivia Laing<BR><BR>'Always brilliant' Geoff Dyer<BR><BR>'One of the most unique voices in non-fiction: enquiring, political, lyrically dazzling, empathetic' Sinéad Gleeson

Bluets
**AS SEEN ON BBC2's BETWEEN THE COVERS**<BR><BR>A Guardian Book of the Year<BR><BR>Maggie Nelson is one of the most electrifying writers at work in America today, among the sharpest and most supple thinkers of her generation - Olivia Laing<BR><BR>Bluets winds its way through depression, divinity, alcohol, and desire, visiting along the way with famous blue figures, including Joni Mitchell, Billie Holiday, Yves Klein, Leonard Cohen and Andy Warhol. While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of 'pillow book' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of what role, if any, aesthetic beauty can play in times of great heartache or grief.<BR><BR>Much like Roland Barthes's A Lover's Discourse, Bluets has passed between lovers in the ecstasy of new love, and been pressed into the hands of the heartbroken. Visceral, learned, and acutely lucid, Bluets is a slim feat of literary innovation and grace, never before published in the UK.

The Latest Winter
Poetry. These poems manage to say everything about everything-each determining day, each shifting sense of inexhaustible person. Back of it all is an extraordinary ear for the way words find place, make a passage from here to there, blessedly keep on talking-Robert Creely. Few poets are strange and quick enough to capture the frenetic quality of contemporary life. Her poems move fast, think on their feet, hit and run with equal parts of humor, glamour, and horror. In every way, she is a thoroughly original voice for our time-Elaine Equi. THE LATEST WINTER is Nelson's follow-up to SHINER (also available from SPD). Nelson's work has appeared in many anthologies and journals including AMERICAN POETRY: THE NEXT GENERATION, THE HAT, OPEN CITY, and SHINY.

Pathemata
It's not the dream that matters, it's the telling of the dream - the words you choose, the risks you take in externalising your mind<BR><BR>This is a dreamlike portrait of a body in struggle to connect with itself and others. As the narrator contends with chronic pain, and with a pandemic raging in the background, she sets out to examine the literal and symbolic role of the mouth in the life of a writer.<BR><BR>Merging dreams and dailies, Pathemata recounts the narrator's tragicomic search to alleviate her suffering, a search that eventually becomes a reckoning with various forms of loss - the loss of intimacy, the loss of her father and the loss of a pivotal friend and mentor. In exacting, distilled prose, her account blurs the lines between embodied, unconscious and everyday life.<BR><BR>With characteristic precision, humour and compassion, Nelson explores the limits of language to describe experience, while also offering a portrait of an unnerving and isolating time in our shared history. A stunning, original experiment in interiority by the adored author of Bluets and The Argonauts, Pathemata is a personal and poetic reckoning with pain and loss, both physical and emotional, as well as an uncanny meditation on love, affliction and resilience.
