Fugitive, in Full View (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Jack Marshall's work is closely attuned to the historical context of our present moment, and uses that long view to make a passionate case for intervention in our contemporary climate of hawkishness, endless war, ecological disaster.

Marshall's poetry begins in appreciation-for family, for love, for beauty-and its call for political action builds from that place.

There are linkages to Osip Mandelstam throughout the collection that signal the kind of protest poetry that Marshall is writing-made up both of appreciation and no uncertain warning. They also propose a kind of kinship between two men who, even as they searched for a sense of home and belonging, were rooted by both history and family.

Jack is an immigrant (he was born into a Jewish family in Baghdad) and his mother's home was in Aleppo, Syria. Migration, refugees, and the ongoing devastation in Syria and Iraq are all immediate and personal concerns for him.
