Through exploring various disasters, Clarke ends up exploring
memory-"the worst disaster since the last one"-writing about people
lost through the prison system, disasters man-made we don't wish to
think about, and just where the accumulation of disaster upon
disaster might end up taking us. "What do you love about this /
world? Without what is there nothing // else to say?"-rob mclennan,
rob mclennan's blog Lines the Quarry writes of and into that
ongoing disaster and possibility, interjecting into the commercial
language of success the many violations-bodily and otherwise-that
define capitalist exploitation. Within a span of 15 days, Massey
Energy's Upper Big Branch coal mine exploded, killing 29 miners,
and BP's Deepwater Horizon exploded, killing 11 workers and leaking
over 5 million barrels of oil (and counting). A year and a half
later, Occupy occurred. Lines the Quarry writes of and into that
ongoing disaster and possibility, interjecting into the commercial
language of success the many violations-bodily and otherwise-that
define capitalist exploitation. Weaving together autobiography,
lies, half-truths, corporate horror stories and labor's radical
past, this book seeks to articulate both our devastation and our
possibility in very human terms. In a language familiar yet
strange, composed of fragments, multiple speech registers and
broken syntactical arrangements, the book examines lives lived
through very difficult circumstances and the corporate forces that
range upon our earth.
