Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Two unaccompanied children travel across the Mediterranean in an overcrowded boat that has been designed to only make it halfway across. A 63-year-old man is woken one morning by border officers 'acting on a tip-off' and, despite having paid taxes for 28 years, is suddenly cast into the detention system with no obvious means of escape. An orphan whose entire life has been spent in slavery - first on a Ghanaian farm, then as a victim of trafficking - writes to the Home Office for help, only to be rewarded with a jail sentence and indefinite detention. These are not fictions. Nor are they testimonies from some distant, brutal past, but the frighteningly common experiences of Europe's new underclass - its refugees. While those with "citizenship" enjoy basic human rights (like the right not to be detained without charge for more than 14 days), people seeking asylum can be suspended for years in Kafka-esque uncertainty. Here, poets and novelists retell the stories of individuals who have direct experience of Britain's policy of indefinite immigration detention. Presenting their accounts anonymously, as modern day counterparts to the pilgrims' stories in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this book offers rare, intimate glimpses into otherwise untold suffering.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Poets Stephen Collis and Jordan Scott left copies of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species to decay in five distinct ecosystems in British Columbia. A year later, they photographed what remained, reading poetry into nature's "rewriting" process and documenting the gorgeous detritus in Decomp, a long poem in prose and color photographs. Darwin is an eye amidst graphed genera seeing the web it is woven thereof. A matted scrap of printed material, shit, soil and leaf rot--all dried, bleached and curled up at small edges. Stephen Collis is the author of four books of poetry and a collection of essays, Dispatches from the Occupation. Jordan Scott is the author of Silt and Blert, which explores the poetics of stuttering.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A History of the Theories of Rain explores the strange effect our current sense of impending doom has on our relation to time, approaching the unfolding climate catastrophe through its dissolution of the categories of "man-made" and "natural." How do we go on with our daily lives while a disastrous future impinges upon every moment?Stephen Collis provides no easy answers and offers no simple hope. Instead, he probes our current state of anxiety with care, humour, and an unflinching gazing into the darkness we have gathered around ourselves. Asking what form a resistance to the tenor of these out-of-joint times might take, A History of the Theories of Rain explores the links between climate's "tipping points" and the borders constraining the plants, animals, and peoples forcibly displaced by a radically altered world ecology. Explores the strange effect our current sense of impending doom has on our relation to time, and asks what resistance to the tenor of these out-of-joint times might look like.
