Conspire to Inspire is a collection of thoughts woven into poetry—reflecting on emotions, fleeting moments, and the quiet conversations we have with ourselves. Through simple yet profound verses, this book explores the weight of our thoughts, the depth of our emotions, and the quiet impact we leave behind.
In Bycatch, a new collection by the Ted Hughes Prize shortlisted-poet Caroline Smith, the poems ask where personhood is when memory and language are gone. They capture the faltering years of a life gradually scraped bare by the deep-sea trawler of dementia – yet find amongst the isolation and sadness, moments also of clarity, epiphany and love. Whilst these poems chart deep waters, they remind us also of the enduring and miraculous bond between those who have known each other for a lifetime. With grace and often with humour, Smith unravels the intricate nature of care, the symbiosis of family, and ultimately the sense of self held in the memories and personal histories of her own parents. It is in the swell of the wave, as ageing and loss threaten to engulf even the words, these extraordinary poems remain tender, unforgettable and salt-sharp.Ver libro

"But no one was interested in eliciting my testimony; after all I wasn't dead – I wasn't ill – and hadn't this country treated me so well? For it is not a human right to be much more than Agamben's bare life, to exist in the hallowed halls of the academe, because there comes a point when our wanting is simply too much, obscene –"Ver libro
