SHE HAS SURRENDERED TO SLUMBER records the flights of imagination, the intense emotional fluctuations, and the outcomes of the contemplating mind of the author as words crafted with passion, tenderness, and subtlety. These poems, written over a period of roughly three years of the author's young life, present the enormous changes that his mind goes through within this timeframe. The poems reflect the constant pursuit of romance, embodied by the idea of death and rebirth. From the moment of the arrival of the mysterious vision of an ideal romantic world, the author goes on to record the death of his old beliefs and his rebirth into a new way of seeing life. Thus he engages himself in a quest to know his true self, and goes through tremendous conflict between indefinable rhythm of the desires of his soul and the worldly commotion of reality. With infinitely elongated moments of pleasure, sadness, confusion, depression, hope, and recovery, Tawsif Anam survives to present a brief look into his dreams through the poems in his book. The name of the book, with the significance of slumber as a mystifying state that the author believes to be a connection between our material existence and the vast transcendental world of unknown knowledge, is a tribute to his grandmother. From the time when these poems were first being written to the final moment of its completion, the author witnessed his beloved grandmother, someone to whom he owes the nourishment of his life and his present well-being greatly, drifting from her joyful old age to a state of physical inactivity and coma. Despite her being in a deep slumber, she still breathes life into her grandson, who would forever remain indebted to her forher love, care, support and encouragement.

This book studies the tension between arts and politics in four contemporary artists from different countries, working with different media. The film directors Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne film parts of their natal city to refer to specific political problems in interpersonal relations. The novelist Arundhati Roy uses her poetic language to make room for people's desires; her fiction is utterly political and her political essays make place for the role of narratives and poetic language. Ai Weiwei uses references to Chinese history to give consistency to its 'economic miracle'. Finally, Burial's electronic music is firmly rooted in a living, breathing London; built to create a sound that is entirely new, and yet hauntingly familiar. These artists create in their own way a space for politics in their works and their oeuvre but their singularity comes together as a desire to reconstruct the political space within art from its ruins. These ruins were brought by the disenchantment of 1970s: the end of art, postmodernism, and the rise of design, marketing and communication. Each artwork bears the mark of the resistance against the depoliticisation of society and the arts, at once rejecting cynicism and idealism, referring to themes and political concepts that are larger than their own domain. This book focuses on these productive tensions.

Enter the mind of secluded depth, a place where words are formed from tears and anger. Venture into the second chapter, and no longer be a stranger, but a comrade in the path of passion. Journey into the mind of a man, become his eyes and visualize all which are detrimental in life. Ponder along and witness how sorrow, fear, and rage collide into hope, ambition, and love; intertwine with passages of spiritual ode, as they are told - this is the pinnacle, listen, and hear the echo: I write what my eyes cry. I write what my mind believes. I write what my heart beats. This is me. Let me breathe.

People understand the beauty of great writing, but very seldom see the beauty in the letters that allow that great writing to exist. However, this work of art has become more and more taken for granted. The Rendered Alphabet, even though it is a small book, hopes to have a lasting impact on how you see letters. Instead of being mundane lines, letters can actually be works of art. The letter ?o? for instance can be perceived as a mundane circle, but it can also be perceived as a beautiful Japanese coin. Who would have thought the letter ?N? would have anything to do with a violin? To see what the letters in this book are made of, please turn to the Key after ?Z?. I hope that you enjoy the Rendered Alphabet, and I hope it teaches you to appreciate the simple beauty of the alphabet.
