It follows two sisters as they recover from addiction. With a mix of epistolary form, lyric essay, and art writing, the work hopes to reach beyond conventional narrative towards something hybrid and multivalent.. It is about the relationships between two sisters across Catalunya, Colorado and London– a bond which unravels and exposes its multifaceted nature through their narrative of addiction and recovery.</p> <p>[publishers’ note]</p> [richtext] => 1 [template] => 5 [menuindex] => 13321 [searchable] => 1 [cacheable] => 1 [createdby] => 16 [createdon] => 1752845022 [editedby] => 16 [editedon] => 1752845156 [deleted] => 0 [deletedon] => 0 [deletedby] => 0 [publishedon] => 1752844980 [publishedby] => 16 [menutitle] => [donthit] => 0 [privateweb] => 0 [privatemgr] => 0 [content_dispo] => 0 [hidemenu] => 0 [class_key] => msProduct [context_key] => web [content_type] => 1 [uri] => recupera.html [uri_override] => 0 [hide_children_in_tree] => 0 [show_in_tree] => 0 [properties] => [article] => 0 [price] => 20 [old_price] => 0 [weight] => 0 [image] => [thumb] => [vendor] => 0 [made_in] => [new] => 0 [popular] => 0 [favorite] => 0 [tags] => Array ( [0] => ) [color] => Array ( [0] => ) [size] => Array ( [0] => ) [source] => 2 [vendor.name] => [vendor.resource] => [vendor.country] => [vendor.logo] => [vendor.address] => [vendor.phone] => [vendor.fax] => [vendor.email] => [vendor.description] => [vendor.properties] => [author] => GOMIS, Emma [booksAvailable] => 2 [category] => Literature [publisher] => the 87press [releaseDate] => 2025 [idx] => 3 ) Array ( [id] => 33735 [type] => document [contentType] => text/html [pagetitle] => The underworld [longtitle] => [description] => [alias] => the-underworld [alias_visible] => 1 [link_attributes] => [published] => 1 [pub_date] => 0 [unpub_date] => 0 [parent] => 50 [isfolder] => 0 [introtext] => [content] => <div id="yui_3_17_2_1_1711806682788_119" class="ProductItem-details-excerpt" data-content-field="excerpt"> <p class="">This is 'a roots rave manifesto / to free literature'. The second installment in Oscar Guardiola-Rivera's Night of the World trilogy, Out of the World continues Hoodoo Girl's adventures, alongside the trickster Ix. This mythopoetic narrative–told in three episodes–is inspired by the Mayan epic Popol Vuh, where ‘plot is overrated' and musicality abounds. Lay your ear to the ground and follow these unearthly threads, the syncopated beats where the colonial encounter animates the Angel of History to reveal the masquerade that surrounds us all.

A public notebook of working scores and performance writing, <em>Autobiography of a Performance</em> contains analytic depictions of shared time experienced during performance, notes on dramaturgy and applause, and thinking towards performance as a mode of inter-generational healing (borderwork). This hybrid collection studies performance as a place both unknown and emergent, the rough sketch that’s always incomplete, carried over to the next performance, and always in the company of radical others of many kinds. Both writers also change roles during the course of a performance, a mode of autobiography that most closely resembles mutation. A dramaturg is also an artist, a dancer, the poet of the work. A poet stands up from the table where they are seated to enter the domain of gesture and movement. Pieta and Kapil decompress an interoceptive approach to poetry, memory and ritual awareness: scenes that can’t be written, but only staged.

His importance makes it shocking that such little critical attention has been paid to his work. His indifference explains it. Dhanveer Singh Brar’s ‘Beefy’s Tune (Dean Blunt Edit)’ looks to initiate a conversation that needs to be had about Dean Blunt, about Britain (through Blunt’s indifference to it), and about Blackness in Britain (through the depth and complexity of Blunt’s feeling for it). Using the 2016 album ‘BBF Hosted By DJ Escrow’ as a means of navigation, Brar hears Blunt in order to access the long contested dream of Britain’s disappearance that was conducted under the name of Black British Arts. Partial (in the sense of his relation to Blunt) and partial (in the sense of unfinished), ‘Beefy’s Tune (Dean Blunt Edit)’ see’s Dhanveer Singh Brar give the dream a grammar, if not a name.

The work defies categorisation: Verity is a poet, and this book is certainly poetry, but large parts are in prose form and towards the end it even takes on the structure of an absurdist play. There seems to be a loose narrative, and even recurring character voices, so I’m tempted to call it a short experimental novel, in the vein of Kenneth Patchen’s The Journal Of Albion Moonlight (a personal favourite). Ultimately though I’d just call it a book; one full of words that are profound, moving, silly, sad, challenging and beautiful in equal measure. Even though it’s still a boldly experimental piece, in some ways Hopelessness feels like the most accessible thing Verity’s done. Without wanting to sound condescending, it’s also the most mature. You don’t get much more universal than death, love and loss, and these seem to be the main themes explored here. Another is language itself, the way it defines and limits our experience, and the way that we’re constantly at the mercy of words and phrases as they’re deployed by the authorities, the media, and eventually our own thought processes. Dissenting voices continually talk over one another throughout Hopelessness, often sampled from outside sources, or parodies thereof: Sappho, MR James, traditional hymns and folk songs, Hollywood movies, talk radio, tabloid newspapers, dreams and demagogues. Through it all there’s a painful lesson about how loss can make us bitter and hard, and how by refusing to move forward we become empty caricatures mouthing meaningless clichés to wound and hurt. But grief and loss can also teach us about love, if we let them, and there is so much grief and love in this book. Verity continually rearranges reality (that is, language) as if searching desperately for a way out, but in the end, as always, there is just life, love, and death. Hopelessness is a bravura performance, wholeheartedly recommended."</p> <p>[publisher's note]</p> [richtext] => 1 [template] => 5 [menuindex] => 10778 [searchable] => 1 [cacheable] => 1 [createdby] => 16 [createdon] => 1702482769 [editedby] => 16 [editedon] => 1770896944 [deleted] => 0 [deletedon] => 0 [deletedby] => 0 [publishedon] => 1702484040 [publishedby] => 16 [menutitle] => [donthit] => 0 [privateweb] => 0 [privatemgr] => 0 [content_dispo] => 0 [hidemenu] => 0 [class_key] => msProduct [context_key] => web [content_type] => 1 [uri] => hopelessness.html [uri_override] => 0 [hide_children_in_tree] => 0 [show_in_tree] => 0 [properties] => [article] => [price] => 20 [old_price] => 0 [weight] => 0 [image] => [thumb] => [vendor] => 0 [made_in] => [new] => 0 [popular] => 0 [favorite] => 0 [tags] => Array ( [0] => ) [color] => Array ( [0] => ) [size] => Array ( [0] => ) [source] => 2 [vendor.name] => [vendor.resource] => [vendor.country] => [vendor.logo] => [vendor.address] => [vendor.phone] => [vendor.fax] => [vendor.email] => [vendor.description] => [vendor.properties] => [author] => SPOTT, Verity [booksAvailable] => 0 [category] => Poetry [publisher] => the 87press [releaseDate] => 2023 [idx] => 9 )
