Paperback. Condizione: New. Glaring: a sustained look of anger, an obvious fact, a situation of such brightness and intensity that vision is obscured. In his debut book of poems, Benjamin Krusling is concerned with reading domination and violence and entering their psychotic motion, the better to do otherwise. Through the thicket of anti-blackness, militarism, surveillance, impoverishment, and interpersonal abuse and violence, Glaring investigates the things that haunt daily life and make love difficult, possible, necessary. Benjamin Krusling's Glaring is the winner of our 2019 Open Reading Period, and was selected by guest judge Lucy Ives. It is the first book in the Passage Series. PraiseGlaring is a beautiful and powerful, brilliant collection, combining energies of various modernisms with elegant maneuverings through the bleak media of contemporary America. Concerned with institutions-race, health, school, sports, police, family, money, history-as well as the shifting fortunes of affection and the self, these poems utterly transform two other well-worn institutions: the lyric and the page. Every line in this indelible book was my favorite. -Lucy Ives (2019 Open Reading Period Guest Judge)It is alarming to find what you are looking for, which is what I have found in the work of Ben Krusling. His writing is sensitive, skittish, seems to have no proper skin; its unmediated effects are both intoxicating and mystifying, insofar as he appears to have no truck with literary fashions or forms. While the surface of the work is magical; the interior is confrontational and wise. I find myself with a thinker who arrives "where het love is a freaky war machine. " I hate the moment things begin to feel only intellectual, he writes. Does he love, then, being with the "shock" and "energy" of perceiving emotion as an aggregate and multidimensional thing, now partly digital? I don't know. The power of Ben's work is so undeniable, it's confusing to think about its singularity, which is a hint that it is from the future. -Simone White Glaring hurtles its reader deep into formal consideration's command center, framing every punctum with queries of relation and autonomy. This text is a world where a title may hold as much as its referent, where the next work might begin inside its predecessor, where theater is stripped down to its circuitry and the charge within the performance of all language is laid bare. Benjamin Krusling's nuanced graphical grammar is ecstatic in its quiet powers, and its scaffold of structural freedom finds tender affinity with the work's overarching action-experimental reportage on explorations of an expansive interior landscape cracked open with softness. Throughout-heralding interiority and form-are a flickering bouquet parade of the unpaired insisting on their wholeness as is, insisting on their celebration as self. The work is ripe with fracturing's urgency to show the ways of new wholeness, and blackness shines everywhere like slivers of light. -Adjua.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Passage Series #6In her debut book, Amelia Zhou poses the question, "How do I perform or not perform?" Weaving together poems, fiction, and lyric essay, Repose follows an unnamed woman grappling with the limits of the self on the everyday stage of labor and routine, charting her emergent modes of resistance. She is already steps ahead, deftly shifting between worker and dancer, roving through the haunted space in which a performance has just ended, the ruins of a house, or a skyscraper aflame. Seeking the edges of form-where it exceeds itself, where it breaks down-Repose offers a narrative of girlhood invigorated by the mutual possibilities of dreaming and defiance. Amelia Zhou's Repose is the 2022 Open Reading Period Book Prize winner, and was selected by guest judge Asiya Wadud.Amelia Zhou works with writing and movement, with an interest in exploring their various intersections as they arise in forms such as poetry, prose, or performance.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Passage Series #5About the bookKamelya Omayma Youssef's A book with a hole in it uses the poetry of the fragment and the language of everyday survival to gesture towards the fallibility of language at the juncture of the multiple, intersecting wars on women, on "terror," on the non-White body, and on people and language in diaspora. Drawn from a set of journals written over a four-month period, A book with a hole in it throws the formal, official work of poetry into relief, asking what knowledge exists beyond knowledge, which silences are too deep to be surfaced on the page, and how to pierce through trauma and violence to approach a politics of redemption. Kamelya Omayma Youssef's A book with a hole in it is the 2020 Carolyn Bush Award recipient.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Document Series #11 Nour Mobarak's Dafne Phono is an adaptation of the first opera, Dafne, composed and written by Jacopo Peri and Ottavio Rinuccini in 1598. Drawing on the myth of Daphne and Apollo from Ovid's Metamorphoses-a story of unrequited love, patriarchal possession, conquest, and transformation-Mobarak's multimedia and multispecies reimagining splinters the opera's Italian libretto. Alongside English and Greek versions, it is translated into some of the world's most phonetically complex languages-Abkhaz, San Juan Quiahije Eastern Chatino, Silbo Gomero, and !Xoon-and Ovid's original Latin. In this process, the narrative-and an artifact of Western culture-is dismantled, metabolized, and rendered into unruly utterances that shape the sensorium as much as they do the capacity for sense-making. These voices are given material form by a cast of mycelium sonic sculptures whose rhizomatic compositions and broadcasted recordings resemble the formation and mutation of language over time, reconstituting speech into a new, polyphonic body politic, composed of voices whose striking, poetic utterances transfix and transcend meaning.With a preface by the artist, libretti, and an essay by Anahid Nersessian. The book is released in tandem with an album, produced by Recital.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Marking the Occasion represents the final movement in a year-long engagement with the question, "Can a performance be a rough draft of a written work?" In this case, the rough draft took place at Mount Tremper Arts during a 2019 Watershed Residency. Taking the practices of choreography and co-writing as methods of investigation, curator-editors Jaime Shearn Coan and Tara Aisha Willis introduce new trajectories for live work and text by bringing together dance and performance artists from across the US who occupy multiple roles within art economies and in whose work language and writing are prevalent. Exploring a multiplicity of lived, embodied experiences within a single event, Marking the Occasion gathers together archival materials from the residency alongside new contributions from participants David Thomson, Julie Tolentino, Mariana Valencia, Takahiro Yamamoto, and Mlondi Zondi. The publication also marks the events of 2020, and traces their reverberations through each artist's practice as time, movement, action, and collaboration take on new meanings.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Abu Jildeh and Al-Armeet looks at anti-colonial insurgency in Palestine through the story of the Abu Jildeh bandit gang, a group of farmers from the greater Nablus region who rose up against the British colonization of Palestine. From roughly 1931 to 1934, the band resisted both the British occupation and Palestinian feudal landlords, before they were eventually caught and executed by the British army. Their rebellion, amongst others, paved the way for the 1936 Revolt, a mass uprising against the British colonization of Palestine and the planned Zionist colonization outlined by the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Although the 1936 Revolt was ultimately crushed, it presented a formidable challenge to the British Empire. Its echoes still reverberate today. A historical narrative unfolding through text, drawings, and archival documents, this book, first published in 2017, is now reprinted in a new edition augmented by an English-language translation.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Fifty years after the Fall of Saigon and twenty years after her family's emigration to America, Minh Nguyenreturns to her native Vietnam to find out what's left of the old revolutionary project. In Memorial Park, acollection of essays pairing travelogue and criticism, Nguyen encounters relics of proletarian romance andvestiges of totalitarian control amid an evermore corporatized society. Along the way, she considers howcontemporary artspeak confuses state censors, the rise of luxury "Smart Cities" as they supplant socialisthousing complexes, and the enduring appeal of propaganda signs that once promised utopia. Herinvestigations reveal a nation at odds with its past, caught between preserving its socialist legacy andembracing capitalist transformation.Driven by a diasporic curiosity that seeks discovery over dwelling on loss, Memorial Park refuses nostalgicidealism or reflexive condemnation. Instead, Nguyen takes seriously the legacy of Vietnamese liberation bynaming what it has become-and what it decidedly is not. The result is a nuanced portrait of contemporaryVietnam and a meditation on how we inherit, understand, and ultimately reckon with radical histories thatshaped our world. …

The work is ripe with fracturing's urgency to show the ways of new wholeness, and blackness shines everywhere like slivers of light. -Adjua.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Nico Vela Page's Americón is a collection of poems in Spanglish that weaves a space for the queer, trans body to know the land, and itself, as extensions of each other.

Through archive, attention, and erotic ecopoetics, Page's debut collection of poems extends far across the page, the gender binary, language, and the Americas to find out who we are by asking where we are.Nico Vela Page's Americón is the 2020 Open Reading Period Book Prize winner, and was selected by guest judge Renee Gladman.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Passage Series #6In her debut book, Amelia Zhou poses the question, "How do I perform or not perform?" Weaving together poems, fiction, and lyric essay, Repose follows an unnamed woman grappling with the limits of the self on the everyday stage of labor and routine, charting her emergent modes of resistance.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Passage Series #5About the bookKamelya Omayma Youssef's A book with a hole in it uses the poetry of the fragment and the language of everyday survival to gesture towards the fallibility of language at the juncture of the multiple, intersecting wars on women, on "terror," on the non-White body, and on people and language in diaspora. Drawn from a set of journals written over a four-month period, A book with a hole in it throws the formal, official work of poetry into relief, asking what knowledge exists beyond knowledge, which silences are too deep to be surfaced on the page, and how to pierce through trauma and violence to approach a politics of redemption. Kamelya Omayma Youssef's A book with a hole in it is the 2020 Carolyn Bush Award recipient.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Fifty years after the Fall of Saigon and twenty years after her family's emigration to America, Minh Nguyenreturns to her native Vietnam to find out what's left of the old revolutionary project. In Memorial Park, acollection of essays pairing travelogue and criticism, Nguyen encounters relics of proletarian romance andvestiges of totalitarian control amid an evermore corporatized society. Along the way, she considers howcontemporary artspeak confuses state censors, the rise of luxury "Smart Cities" as they supplant socialisthousing complexes, and the enduring appeal of propaganda signs that once promised utopia. Herinvestigations reveal a nation at odds with its past, caught between preserving its socialist legacy andembracing capitalist transformation.Driven by a diasporic curiosity that seeks discovery over dwelling on loss, Memorial Park refuses nostalgicidealism or reflexive condemnation. Instead, Nguyen takes seriously the legacy of Vietnamese liberation bynaming what it has become-and what it decidedly is not. The result is a nuanced portrait of contemporaryVietnam and a meditation on how we inherit, understand, and ultimately reckon with radical histories thatshaped our world. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. Document Series #11 Nour Mobarak's Dafne Phono is an adaptation of the first opera, Dafne, composed and written by Jacopo Peri and Ottavio Rinuccini in 1598. Drawing on the myth of Daphne and Apollo from Ovid's Metamorphoses-a story of unrequited love, patriarchal possession, conquest, and transformation-Mobarak's multimedia and multispecies reimagining splinters the opera's Italian libretto. Alongside English and Greek versions, it is translated into some of the world's most phonetically complex languages-Abkhaz, San Juan Quiahije Eastern Chatino, Silbo Gomero, and !Xoon-and Ovid's original Latin. In this process, the narrative-and an artifact of Western culture-is dismantled, metabolized, and rendered into unruly utterances that shape the sensorium as much as they do the capacity for sense-making. These voices are given material form by a cast of mycelium sonic sculptures whose rhizomatic compositions and broadcasted recordings resemble the formation and mutation of language over time, reconstituting speech into a new, polyphonic body politic, composed of voices whose striking, poetic utterances transfix and transcend meaning.With a preface by the artist, libretti, and an essay by Anahid Nersessian.
