Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. For the Record is a book-length poem whose word count is set to the number of lives lost to COVID-19 in Alberta, the authors home province in Canada which at the time of publishing sits at 7,113 people. Told in two parts, with each section recording real-time headlines, the book begins with the first COVID-related death of Cargill meat factory worker Bui Thi Hiep. But the poem that cannot truly end does try to end with the hope embodied in the birth of Patels first nephew, weaving the overlapping narratives of life in precarious, unprecedented times with the bracketing of political negligence, Formula 1 racing, and gig work as an artist.In For the Record, Patel wants us to remember the ordinary days and the extraordinary grief, as well as the monumental potential for hope, care, and empathy in our communities that COVID-19 teaches us as we continue to live through the ongoing crisis borne of and from a mass pandemic. Like a Formula 1 car, ripping around the track at 350 km/hr, Nisha takes the reader on a poetic narrative journey that brings us back into the vestiges of 2020 COVID and into the present. These poems blur together just like how the grandstands would look to an F1 driver to give the reader a sense of despair over government inadequacy but also show the way that we move forward individually and as a community through trying times. Conor Kerr, author of Beaver Hills ForeverWhile much of the world speaks of COVID-19 in the past tense, For the Record demands we reckon with the ongoing presence of the virus and the systemic injustices it lays bare. In this powerful work, Patel interweaves years worth of news headlines with the intimacies of the ill body, collapsing time and space in an urgent act of witnessing. Jennifer Bowering Delisle, author of StockFor The Record meets the enormity of the historical present with grace and erudition and emotional clarity. The book asks, What is poetry in the face of a pandemic, in the face of climate disaster, in the face of genocide? For the Record is a record of a long and complex moment that we are fortunate to have now and will be fortunate to have in the future. Billy-Ray Belcourt, author of The Idea of an Entire Life A remarkable (and evolving) long poem that articulates the impact of the ongoing death toll from COVID-19.
