Brother Poem (Paperback): Will-Harris Brother Poem (Paperback)
Will-Harris
R249 Discovery Miles 2 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A speculative-poetic work from the Forward Prize-winning, T.S. Eliot shortlisted author of RENDANG At the heart of Brother Poem is a sequence addressed to a fictional brother. Through these fragments, Will Harris attempts to reckon with the past while mourning what never existed. The text moves, cloud-like, through states of consciousness, beings and geographies, to create a moving portrait of contemporary anxieties around language and the need to communicate. With pronominal shifts, broken dialogisms, and obsessive feedback loops, it reflects on the fictions we tell ourselves, and in our attempts to live up to the demands of others. From a dimension uncannily like our own, intuited through signs, whispers, and glitches, Brother Poem is shadowed by the loss of what can't be seen. Telling stories of bizarre familial reckonings and difficult relationships, about love and living with others, it is a deeply sensitive coming-of-age poetics.

RENDANG (Paperback): Will-Harris RENDANG (Paperback)

In RENDANG, Will Harris complicates and experiments with the lyric in a way that urges it forward. With an unflinching yet generous eye, RENDANG is a collection that engages equally with the pain and promise of self-perception. Drawing on his Anglo-Indonesian heritage, Harris shows us new ways to think about the contradictions of identity and cultural memory. He creates companions that speak to us in multiple languages; they sit next to us on the bus, walk with us through the crowd and talk to us while we're chopping shallots. They deftly ask us to consider how and what we look at, as well as what we don't look at and why.

Playing eruditely with and querying structures of narrative, with his use of the long poem, images, ekphrasis, and ruptured forms, RENDANG is a startling new take on the self, and how an identity is constructed. It is intellectual and accessible, moving and experimental, and combines a linguistic innovation with a deep emotional rooting.

Mixed-Race Superman is a reflection on the lives of two very different supermen: Barack Obama and Keanu Reeves. In an era where a man endorsed by the Klu Klux Klan can sit in the White House, Will Harris argues that the mixed-race background of each gave them a shapelessness that was a form of resistance. Drawing on his own personal experience and examining the way that these two men have been embedded in our collective consciousness, Harris asks what they can teach us about race and heroism.

Husbands and wives--a story as old as time and as new as J. Lo and whoever it is she's married to this month. Daniel Will-Harris spins a hilarious new take on this age-old subject, tackling everyday topics from tiny BBQs to giant chickens; putting up shelves to putting down cookies; puppies to panic; curtains to karma. Will-Harris says "You're going to look back and laugh at this someday." That's something I tell myself and what I do in these stories--rewrite the past and change shock to shtick, transform tears to laughter. 50,000 Internet readers already agree, recommending their friends to Will-Harris' site and e-mail list. That's why they're among the most popular and fastest-growing story sites and lists on the web. Here's what actual readers are saying: "Anyone who's ever been married, or even known a person of the opposite sex, will love these stories. Non-stop hilarity from start to finish " The author's wife (well, she would, wouldn't she). "Hilarious My wife and I couldn't stop laughing. Will-Harris is like the literary love child of Dave Barry and David Sedaris." Brad Plitt "A comic gem " Sheila Bennet "I read them at my desk and laughed so loud my co-workers thought I was crazy--until they read them and laughed out loud, too " Sharone Osburn "I had tears of laughter running down my cheeks." John Stanley "Hysterical My wife and I laughed for 10 minutes " Pat Daley
