Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Every year, a large number of people living in our towns and cities - the homeless, suicides, illegal immigrants, junkies, drug 'mules', victims of crime and, above all, old people living alone - are found dead. Sometimes, they are not discovered for weeks or months, and it is often hard to ascertain who they are. Their funerals are held without relatives or friends and acquaintances being present; the only people in attendance are the pall-beares, perhaps someone from the Department of Social Services, the cemetery management and the funeral director. In Amsterdam in 2002, the poet and artist F Starik, deeply moved by the desolation of these solitary funerals, initiated 'The Lonely Funeral' project and seven years later in Antwerp, the Flemish poet Maarten Inghels set up a project of the same name. The idea of the project was to establish a network of poets who would write a personal poem for the deceased person based on research into their life and read it out at their funeral as an affirmation of their existence. To date, well over 300 'lonely funerals' have been attended by poets in both cities and volumes of prose and poetry about some of these forgotten lives have been published in Amsterdam and Antwerp respectively.Arc Publications, together with the publisher Edition Korrespondezen and editor Stefan Wieczorek, have made a selection of prose and poems about 31 'forgotten lives' from these two anthologies. What is known of, or can be found out about, each individual's life and manner of death is set out in a moving prose piece which also describes the funeral itself - for the Amsterdam funerals this is written by F. Starik and for the Antwerp funerals by Maarten Inghels - and this is followed by the poem for the deceased, with 20 of the Netherlands' and Flanders' leading poets being represented.This is by turns a shocking and very necessary volume: poets are not social workers but they do have the power to change attitudes to society's outcasts. These last salutations to people the poet has never known and never will remind us that we are a community and that we have responsibility for each other, even after death. As F. Starik writes in his preface to the book: "We do not know to whom we say goodbye, so we feel no pain. But everyone - and this is the point - every person deserves respect.".

Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Please Look in the Basement is a quirky collection of posters of lost cats, dogs, birds and other pets, carefully curated from the collection of Maarten Inghels, Jan Lemaire, Jean-Michel Meyers, Denis Meyers and Nicolas Marichal from Antwerp, Brussels and Ghent. Fellow collector and writer Maarten Inghels took the posters as the starting point for conversations with the owners. Apart from the posters, this maverick collectible bundles whimsical anecdotes about loneliness and friendship in the big city. How do you find an escaped animal? Does a cat survive a fall from the fourth floor? And did the fortune-teller really see the location of the lost dog in her crystal ball? Please Look in the Basement is an ode to the bizarre occurrences of our four-legged friends and the doltish typography of homemade posters. Inghels tells the stories of pets who one day decide to go their own way.Text in English, French and Dutch.
