Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Serious Justice is the highly anticipated debut collection from writer, translator, editor and musician Jen Calleja.The collection captures the memories, fears and uncertainties of the millennial generation, attempting to define an unstable and disintegrating sense of belonging. The poems address issues of responsibility, injustice, sexism, revenge, misfortune, forgiveness and regret. They are the poems of an unfinished adult, nostalgic for a comparatively carefree recent past, and apprehensive at the prospect of an unknown future.Serious Justice is populated by characters who are paralysed but able to feel, powerless and imprisoned, but acutely alert, sensitive and aware. Violence and instability sit menacingly on the edges of the poems, threatening to erupt on to the page. The increasingly familiar experience of psychological instability and breakdown is a recurring theme, in a landscape of noiseless monochrome which demands creative methods of survival and entertainment.Callejas attentiveness to the subtleties and deceptions of language shows itself in a sharp and playful wit, which energises the poems and expands their sphere of reference. Her punk sensibility and sensitivity to the musical and rhythmic qualities of language grounds the poems in a recognisable and accessible reality, combining the simplicity of the language of song lyrics with a philosophical intensity and curiosity, constantly probing and questioning.The poems in Serious Justice continually return to the question of identity, and of how one defines and presents a coherent sense of self, skilfully reflected by ideas about translation which run through the collection. The overlapping circles on the books cover mirror Callejas conflicting but intertwined identities, blurring the boundaries of gender, class, race, language and personality.Many of the poems are autobiographical, exploring Callejas Maltese fathers immigrant background, her mothers lifelong mental illness and brothers diagnosis of Aspergers, and the impact of these on her own identity. The effect of these experiences is reflected in a concern for those who are sidelined, misrepresented and deemed a burden in society.Serious Justice is a striking and prescient collection from one of the most sharp and authentic voices to have emerged from the London poetry scene. The accessibility and directness of Callejas language, combined with her ability to perceive the complexity underlying the monotony of daily life, make her a poet to be listened to, communicating in a language that both frightens and seduces us.

It is a striking and prescient collection from one of the most sharp and authentic voices to have emerged from the London poetry scene.

Original typed letter, signed, from B. Traven to Ruth Ford, writing under his "Hal Croves" alias. Composed on a single sheet of watermarked stationary from the Balneario spa-hotel in San Jose de Purua (measuring 6.25" x 9 5/8"), dated January 20, 1948; 31 lines (202 words), signed "Love, H.C." in pencil. Two old horizontal folds from mailing and a few faint creases smoothed out; Near Fine, housed in a custom clamshell case.A letter from the mysterious Traven to American screen actress and model Ruth Ford (1911-2009), who he refers to as "Glorious" and with whom the author maintained a romantic correspondence between 1947-1961. The letter is written just one week after the release of the film adaptation of Traven's novel The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, commenting on a slew of early reviews and the very favorable critical reception. "T.'s agent just sent him a dozen reviews of the picture "Treasure of Sierra Madre".Every critic, including the reviewers of the trade papers of the movie industry, predict that it will be the outstanding picture of 1948, a tremendous box office success to be sure as it is a picture Hollywood has never dared to make before and in spite of that it is a he-man picture with not a single woman in, female audiences went just as enthusiastic about it if not more so than male spectators." He goes on to comment that Walter Huston "of course stole the picture," just as he'd told John Huston he would, and that in his opinion, the film could have been cut by 25 minutes due to "too many rather dull sequences in which do not add anything to the story of to characterizations." It has been documented that Traven, who was notoriously private and shunned publicity, appeared in Mexico during filming and presented himself as Hal Croves, acting as B. Traven's literary agent who had power of attorney, interacting with John Huston, Humphrey Bogart, and others. Huston's film, of course, was a sensational hit at the box office, earning $2.3 million in the U.S. alone, and winning Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay. A fine letter, with excellent content.
