Poems of love and battle by Arabia's legendary warrior From the sixth-century highlands of Najd in the Arabian peninsula, on the eve of the advent of Islam, come the strident cries of a legendary warrior and poet. The black outcast son of an Arab father and an Ethiopian slave mother, 'Antarah ibn Shaddad struggled to win the recognition of his father and tribe. He defied social norms and, despite his outcast status, loyally defended his people.'Antarah captured his tumultuous life in uncompromising poetry that combines flashes of tenderness with blood-curdling violence. His war songs are testaments to his life-long battle to win the recognition of his people and the hand of 'Ablah, the free-born woman he loved but who was denied him by her family.War Songs presents the poetry attributed to 'Antarah and includes a selection of poems taken from the later Epic of 'Antar, a popular story-cycle that continues to captivate and charm Arab audiences to this day with tales of its hero's titanic feats of strength and endurance. 'Antarah's voice resonates here, for the first time in vibrant, contemporary English, intoning its eternal truths: commitment to one's beliefs, loyalty to kith and kin, and fidelity in love.Longlisted for the 2019 National Translation Award.

The publication is a resumption, on Franz West's initiative, of the renowned "Brenner" - a journal published in Innsbruck by Ludwig von Ficker. The circle that associated with this journal also included Georg Trakl and Ludwig Wittgenstein. The text and image contributions of artists and authors and the interviews that the Austrian writer Benedikt Ledebur conducted with them all revolve around linguistic and philosophical-historical themes, reflecting the approaches used by the artists involved and developing a modernist aesthetic with the conceptuality of collage - all of this in keeping with the tradition of the "Brenner", but also of the Dadaists and the Vienna Group.
