#Alex Houen

[godrevy]

For Cage, as we’ve seen, opening up to eventualities means not reducing them to one’s own ego, ideas or feelings. Happiness means arming how you happen to feel in a situation, which means grasping how the feeling itself is not actually limited to the personal; it is instead a composite aective event that arises as an interaction between you and the world in a given context. If practising a certain ‘dis-interestestedness’ helps one to be happily open to ‘all that comes to one, good or bad’, it also means that such a happy comportment admits mixed feelings:

                 maKing behavior

              no deSire no dislike

IN RESPONSE to surges of violent nationalism and political paranoia around borders, and to related social and ethical crises, JT Welsch and Ágnes Lehóczky have assembled WRETCHED STRANGERS an anthology that uses poetry to cross borders, celebrating innovative writing from around the globe, paying homage to the diversity that enriches us even as some continue to use it to divide us.

Solidarity with those marching in London. Solidarity with children in US cages, with those of the Windrush generation being denied basic rights, with those forced to appeal to a court for human dignity and equality, with wretched strangers everywhere.

Special thanks to the editors for including new work from me in this alongside poets such as Tim Atkins • Rachel Blau DuPlessis • Mary Jean Chan • Steven J Fowler • Peter Gizzi • Alex Houen • Vivek Narayanan • Alice Notley • Sandeep Parmar • Pascale Petit • Adam Piette • George Szirtes • Harriet Tarlo • David Wheatley • Jane Yeh.

Full Description

Terrorism has long been a major shaping force in the world. However, the meanings of terrorism, as a word and as a set of actions, are intensely contested. This volume explores how literature has dealt with terrorism from the Renaissance to today, inviting the reader to make connections between older instances of terrorism and contemporary ones, and to see how the various literary treatments of terrorism draw on each other. The essays demonstrate that the debates around terrorism only give the fictive imagination more room, and that fiction has a great deal to offer in terms of both understanding terrorism and our responses to it. Written by historians and literary critics, the essays provide essential knowledge to understand terrorism in its full complexity. As befitting a global problem, this book brings together a truly international group of scholars, with representatives from America, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, Italy, Israel, and other countries.
