Περιγραφή για Thinking with Trees Jason Allen-Paisant Carcanet Press Ltd

Winner of the Poetry Category OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature 2022. An Irish Times Best Poetry Books of 2021. A White Review Book of the Year 2021. Jason Allen-Paisant grew up in a village in central Jamaica. \'Trees were all around,\' he writes, \'we often went to the yam ground, my grandmother\'s cultivation plot. When I think of my childhood, I see myself entering a deep woodland with cedars and logwood all around. [...] The muscular guango trees were like beings among whom we lived.\' Now he lives in Leeds, near a forest where he goes walking. \'Here, trees represent an alternative space, a refuge from an ultra-consumerist culture...\' And even as they help him recover his connections with nature, these poems are inevitably political. As Malika Booker writes, \'Allen-Paisant\'s poetic ruminations deceptively radicalise Wordsworth\'s pastoral scenic daffodils. The collection racializes contemporary ecological poetics and its power lies in Allen-Paisant\'s subtle destabilization of the ordinary dog walker\'s right to space, territory, property and leisure by positioning the colonised Black male body\'s complicated and unsafe reality in these spaces.\' Σελίδες: 120, Διαστάσεις: 13.5x13.5cm
