All discipline a deception to hide the wildness, all symmetry an
excuse for keeping count. Tomorrow Someone Will Arrest You cements
Meena Kandasamy as one of the most exciting, radical thinkers at
work today. These poems chronicle wanting, art-making, and the
practising of resistance and solidarity in the face of a hostile
state. Here, the personal is political, and Kandasamy moves between
sex, desire, family and wider societal issues of caste, the refugee
crisis, and freedom of expression with grace and defiance. This is
a bold, unforgettable collection by a poet who compels us to sit up
and listen.

'Courageous and brave and disturbing and will stay with you for a
long time' -- Stylist Caught in the hook of love, a young woman
marries a dashing university professor. She moves to a rain-washed
coastal town to be with him, but behind closed doors she discovers
that her perfect husband is a perfect monster. As he sets about
battering her into obedience and as her family pressures her to
stay in the marriage, she swears to fight back - a resistance that
will either kill her or set her free.
A collection of essays offering a creative look at crises past,
present, future, and speculative. Â Starting with the shared
experience of crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and a
planet sieged by disaster, Imaginable Worlds transforms tragedy
into a framework for research and art, imagining a shared world
beyond a global experience of emergency. Produced by the Smart
Museum of Art and the Projects/Processes essay collection series,
an initiative launched by the Serendipity Arts Foundation in New
Delhi, this volume brings together the voices of artists, authors,
and public intellectuals from a range of fields and locations.
Suraj Yengde, named one of the “25 Most Influential Young
Indians” by GQ Magazine; Siyanda Mohutsiwa, the brain behind the
viral hashtag #IfAfricaWasABar; and Ho Tzu Nyen, the acclaimed
artist behind the ongoing Critical Dictionary of Southeast Asia
project, are among the diverse contributors who have come together
to critically engage with ideas and practices that engage with a
partially known or unknown world. Inviting fresh creative looks at
crises past, imminent, immediate, and speculative, Imaginable
Worlds considers questions of survival and invites us to imagine
new modes of sensing, knowing, and dwelling. Â
The provocative debut by the Women's Fiction Prize 2018-shortlisted
author of When I Hit You. When women take to protest, there is no
looking back. Sometimes it is over working conditions, other times,
perhaps, a strike for higher wages. And so, in a hungry,
back-broken community of villages in Tamil Nadu, a group of rural
workers begin to defy their landlords. The landlords, in turn, vow
to violently crush them. But these punishments only serve to
strengthen the villagers' resistance - after all, when starvation
is the only option, what else is there to lose...?
From the author of When I Hit You, shortlisted for the 2018 Women's
Prize for Fiction Karim and Maya: [x] share a home [x] worry about
money [x] binge-watch films [x] argue all the time Karim, a young
film-maker, carries with him the starry-eyed dreams of the Arab
Revolution. Maya carries her own pressing concerns: an errant
father, an unstable job, a chain-smoking habit, a sudden pregnancy.
When Karim's brother disappears in Tunis, and Karim wants to go
after him, Maya must choose between her partner and her home city,
her future and her history... In a conversation between forms,
fictions and truths, Exquisite Cadavers is a novel about a young
couple navigating love in London, and a literary hall of mirrors
about an author navigating the inspirations behind her work.
