  Improvised Explosive Device

  Arji Manuelpillai

  Improvised Explosive Device is a startlingly innovative exploration of extremism, hate crime and violence by poet Arji Manuelpillai. In this powerful and unsettling first collection, Manuelpillai presents a vision of the contemporary haunted by Melville's image of the whale – the terror beneath the surface of the sea. His uncompromising focus on violence is laced with gallows humour and the surreal, framed against the mundane detritus of modern life: two boys playing Mortal Kombat; a field of old trainers; the lonely glare of laptop light; a suspicious looking package in the back seat of a van.
  The poems in Improvised Explosive Device emerged through research and interviews with academics, sociologists, and former members of extremist groups and their families – from the English Defence League and the National Front to ISIS and the Tamil Tigers. These complex, unnerving texts ask a series of important questions. What drives a person to commit a radical act of violence? How is that violence mediated through screens and social media? And how does the British government police marginalised groups? Improvised Explosive Device is a brave, surprising and risk-taking book; it will change the way you look at the world.
  "Refusing glib analysis and easy answers, Improvised Explosive Device is a work of radical empathy, fuelled by honesty and compassion, both for those stirred to violence against minorities, and those who suffer from it." Rishi Dastidar
  "The project of Arji Manuelpillai's Improvised Explosive Device leans into the mighty disciplines of poetry, sociology, and reportage to formulate an arresting debut which contests the ways we're conditioned to internalise notions of terrorism, nationalism and belonging...a bold and startling new work." Anthony Anaxagorou

  Enjoy this captivating journey into the life and poetry of Robert Frost, as his dear friend and farmhand, Carl Burell, shares stories about Rob with the people of Derry, New Hampshire at the Derry Centennial Celebration of 1927. 
  This fictional reenactment provides an enlightening and entertaining look inside the early years of Robert Frost through the eyes of his childhood friend, farming mentor and hired hand. Carl’s intimate view provides a unique perspective on Frost’s life as a novice farmer among the people of Derry, whom Frost freely appropriated in much of his poetry. As he reflects, Carl muses on his own appearance in some of Frost’s poems, and the manner in which the poet transformed his experiences on a hardscrabble New England farm into revered, monetized literature. Along the way, Carl also reads many of his favorite Frost poems, masterfully capturing the transcendent power of these enduring masterpieces in his native voice. 
  For lovers of poetry, Frost enthusiasts, teachers and students, The Rob I Knew is a unique and absorbing way to explore and appreciate one of our great American poets. 
  Eric Copenhaver, author and performer of this compelling audiobook, is a displaced New Hampshire native and lifelong Frost devotee—who is delighted to be channeling the colorful Carl Burell.

  Top 10 Poets The - The English...

  The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
   
  But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
   
  In this volume we explore the works of the English Woman.  In their times many were neglected and ignored.  Society was male dominated and women were definitely second class.  Even a title didn’t bring equality, just a little more respect.  But now we can hear their words for the wonder that they are.  They speak on all manner of things with words that are knowing, inspiring and truthful.  Genius in every name.
