"In poems both physical and spiritual, torrin a. greathouse (she/ they) writes about being a trans woman and genderqueer, about being disabled, and about the violence that ghosts through these states of being, of body"--

Greathouse T: Deed

A poet, painter and philosopher, Etel Adnan's life and work was shaped by a profound and vibrant exchange between Arab and Western cultures. In 2024, the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Dhahran is organizing the first major exhibition in Saudi Arabia dedicated to one of the most important voices in modern American-Arab literature and visual art. Living a life between Lebanon, France and California, and influenced by her travels to Mexico and North Africa, Adnan's work is characterized by her openness to different media and languages, both literary and visual. Refusing to continue writing in French to show solidarity with Algeria during the Algerian War of Independence, she began to paint using bright colors as a universal language. Alongside this, leporellos became her signature medium: the pocket-sized books unfold into several meters long, lavishly illustrated tapestries of poetry and painting. Opening up new perspectives, this catalogue brings together a large number of works from all periods that emphasize the richness and diversity of Adnan's oeuvre, and explores various themes essential to a deeper understanding of her work. A comprehensive chronology will
also enrich the book, making it not least a reference tool in Arabic.ETEL ADNAN's (1925-2021) widely-acclaimed work was shaped by a constant immersion in new contexts and cultures. Born in Beirut to a Greek mother and father from Damascus, she grew up in an extraordinary multicultural environment. A student of philosophy in Beirut and Paris, she moved to the US in 1955 to attend Berkeley and Harvard, and taught philosophy in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1958-72. There she began to paint, deeply inspired by her encounters with the surrounding nature. Adnan returned to Beirut in 1972 to work as a cultural editor for two daily newspapers. Fleeing the civil war, she resettled in California in 1977, making Sausalito her home, with frequent stays in France.

Contes Fantastiques

Im Wunderland begegnet Alice fantastischen Wesen wie dem verrückten Hutmacher und der Roten Königin und stolpert von einem Staunen ins nächste. Ähnlich ergeht es den Leserinnen und Lesern dieser Persiflage von Robert W. Segel - doch hier kippt das Staunen ins Politische: Seine Alice wird zur demagogischen Anti-Alice und stürzt in einem rasenden Abwärtstrip in den Kaninchenbau rechter Potentaten. Im verwundeten Land trifft sie auf eine Gesellschaft zwischen politischem Dämmerschlaf und frenetischem Applaus. Fluchtwege werden versperrt, Spielfelder zu Schlachtfeldern erklärt. Aus vermeintlich harmlosen Parolen werden große Verbote. 

Die vertrauten Figuren aus dem Kosmos von Lewis Carroll erscheinen in neuem Licht: als scharfzüngige, gewitzte und beklemmend aktuelle Spiegelbilder einer zaudernden Gegenwart. Und doch keimt im Widerstand die Hoffnung auf ein anderes, besseres Zusammenleben.

'So wie der Struwwelpeter seinen Struwwelhitler hat, hat Carrolls Alice nun ihre bissige Zwillingsschwester von Segel. Ein wilder Ritt und ein großes Lesevergnügen - vor allem aber ein Buch über eine Zeit in politischer Schieflage, das nicht allen gefallen wird und damit genau richtig liegt.'
- Philip Krömer

'Segel gelingt hier eine literarische Ansprache [...], die den Panzer der [...] Sprachlosigkeit aufbricht.'
- aus der Laudatio zum Bayerischen Kunstförderpreis

Alice im verwundeten Land

In this unique collection of essays, published writers offer an intimate view of how their work has been informed, shaped and transformed by their literary, political, philosophical or personal influences. Providing models of the critical commentaries that all students of creative writing must write, each essay from contemporary authors of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, scripts and digital writing demonstrates how what writers write is determined by what they have read, and what they read is then determined by what they are writing. As writers reflect on their process of moving from sources of inspiration to a finished and original piece of writing, they reveal their anxieties, passions, discoveries and motivations, offering fascinating insights into the imagination's journey. Introductory chapters explore why writers reflect on their own work, and place this practice in wider contexts, offering theoretical frameworks for understanding process, influence, and inspiration. As illuminating for aspiring writers as it is for students reflecting on their research and process as part of writing courses, Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary will change the way writers talk about and engage with other texts.

Reflection, Influence, Process

Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary

From independence movements in Sri Lanka to train stations in contemporary Ontario, an intimate and witty selection of Michael Ondaatje's most widely loved poems taken across fifty years 'My life always stops for a new book by Michael Ondaatje' JHUMPA LAHIRI Through poems that grow out of his profound understanding of the subtle complexities of life and relationships, of how we lose and find ourselves, Michael Ondaatje navigates his own past, beginning with memories of his childhood in Sri Lanka and his eccentric family, to his life in rural southern Ontario with its beloved rivers, celebrations of treasured friends, the close ties of children. Ondaatje is one of the great poets of love, and here we follow him through the exhilarations of youth into that 'storm of music', the passionate, sensuous swerves of longing and desire, until we reach the calm of that moment when 'only a cloud's reflection holding you up / You swim into late afternoon'. The Distance of a Shout offers us a glimpse into the interwoven life and art of one of our most cherished poets and novelists - a reminder itself of the power of great poetry to shine a light on living. 'Each new book of Michael Ondaatje's is a literary event, but that is particularly true for his books of poetry' TERRANCE HAYES

The Distance of a Shout: Selected Poems

Die Gesellschaft rückt nach rechts, der 
 gebärfähige Körper
 wird zum Politikum. Bestechend klug analysiert 
 Sibel Schick
 , warum mit unseren Körpern keine Politik gemacht werden darf.
 
 Dass 
 Schwangerschaftsabbrüche Leben retten
 können, hat Sibel Schick am eigenen Leib erfahren. Und auch, gegen welche Widerstände sie ankämpfen musste, bevor der rettende Eingriff durchgeführt wurde. 
 Körperliche Selbstbestimmung
 ist aber keine Privatsache: Ob und unter welchen Bedingungen wir Kinder bekommen wollen, ist hochpolitisch. 
 Reproduktive Freiheit
 wird heute unter Strafe gestellt, Staaten bestimmen über den 
 Zugang zu medizinischer Versorgung
 – auch in Deutschland. 
 Berührend und kämpferisch
 zeigt Schick, dass echte Gerechtigkeit in einer 
 gemeinsamen Befreiung
 liegt.

A dazzling political tour de force from multi-award-winning author Canisia Lubrin

The original Code Noir was an infamous set of fifty-nine decrees passed by King Louis XIV. The Code enforced strict rules governing the lives of slaves in the French colonies for over a hundred years. Canisia Lubrin's stunning debut brings together fifty-nine linked fictions, riffing on the historical to take an electrifying new look at the present day.

Interspersed with original black-and-white drawings by acclaimed visual artist Torkwase Dyson, this inventive, shape-shifting braid of narratives ranges from contemporary reality to unexpected dystopia, futuristic fantasy to historical adventure. Linked by the determination of individuals to look beyond official decrees, beyond the ruins of the past, and to create meaning&nbsp;- and freedom&nbsp;- for themselves, the fictions of Code Noir combine immense literary and political force in unforgettable, multi-layered fragments.

Buch-Rückseite:
"Nach Osten ans Ende der Welt" ist "Eine Eisenbahnreise mit der Transsibirischen Eisenbahn", wie uns der Untertitel sagt.
Kurt Drawert hat sie 2000 unternommen und 2001 den Text publiziert. Die zweite Prosa dieses Bandes "America Metaphern" 
ist während Kurt Drawerts Stipendium in der Villa Aurora, Los Angeles, im Jahr 2022 entstanden - die beiden Texte klammern subkutan die zwei Blöcke der Weltpolitik ein. Als tertium datur erkennen wir jenseits der Abgründe der einst exklusiven Weltmächte eine europäische Kultur. Und sei es nur im Blick des Erzählers, als der Drawert immer Lebensformen und -verformungen zu fassen versteht.
