Ellen Hinsey's new book-length sequence, The Illegal Age, is a
powerful investigation into the twentieth-century's dark legacy of
totalitarianism and the rise of political illegality. It explores
the enduring potential for human beings to set neighbour against
neighbour and commit final acts of violence. A book of lyrical
reflection and prophesy, The Illegal Age chronicles the arrival of
a new, disquieting reality unfolding in our midst. As Marilyn
Hacker has written, "In dialogue with Celan, Szymborska, Milosz...
this is a daring text - for its political acuity, and for its
demonstration of the power in poetry to recount, remember, move the
heart while opening the mind." Written in parallel with her
first-hand research into the rise of authoritarianism carried out
over the last decade, Hinsey's volume warns that - rather than an
"Age of Anxiety" - we may indeed be facing the start of the
"Illegal Age".
