What Is This?
Rui Caeiro
ISBN 978-1-918801-00-2
Opening the Paddy the Poet Collection, What Is This? is a brief and evocative work that invites the reader into a space of reflection and interpretation.
Through suggestive imagery and carefully shaped language, Rui Caeiro explores the boundaries between perception, meaning and uncertainty — creating a text that resists easy definition while remaining deeply accessible.
Translated into English by Vitor Vicente, this edition brings Caeiro’s distinctive voice to an international audience while preserving the subtle ambiguity at the heart of the work.
Selected Silesian Sonnets
Vitor Vicente
ISBN 978-1-918801-04-0
Moving through Kraków, Katowice, Auschwitz and the shifting landscapes of Silesia, these sonnets trace exile, desire, memory and displacement across a Central Europe suspended between history and movement.
Both intimate and geographical, Selected Silesian Sonnets transforms trains, rivers, borders and winter cities into a meditation on solitude, love and cultural memory. Written from within the experience of travel and emotional exile, the poems move between Poland's historical weight and the fragile intimacy of everyday encounters.
Drawing on the atmosphere of Bruno Schulz, railway journeys, post-industrial landscapes and the haunted geography of Auschwitz, this collection presents Silesia not simply as a place, but as a state of transition - between countries, identities, languages and selves.
