Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "I loved this series of short encounters between buildings, people, politics, class and money, and the accounts here of how built structures arrange our emotional lives. Alternating between melancholy and awe, the language is curt but complex, the tone is elegiac but never sentimental, angry without being hectoring - intimate and monumental."- OWEN HATHERLEY"Stay Awhile begins with the following provocation: 'It's like, you built this. You don't just get to say I quit and start again'. In which context the title might be read as an invitation, a dare, or as a powerful injunction. It also proposes a model of reading: a deep, sustained attention that is seldom afforded to working-class spaces. Or, for that matter, to their inhabitants. To read is to cross a threshold, to enter and to navigate the structures - architectural, social, and linguistic - that neoliberal culture would infinitely prefer to forget, or to 'quit'.Unsworth is a poet admirably without quit; a superb noticer in urgent and sensitised communion with her environment. What these poems demand and make possible is a form of renewed vigilance, a looking at that begins in both language and the built environment and is alert, alive and open in every way that counts. These are generous and attentive poems, full of anger but equally full of wit and humour.What I treasure most about these poems is their savvy mapping of the interaction between (personal, ephemeral) memory and (public, authoritative) History. In Stay Awhile the former may burst in unruly anamnesis at any moment through the smoothly gentrified skin of the latter, contesting space, refusing shame, impossible to ignore."- FRAN LOCK"Construction and demolition. Substance and artifice. How do people and places become neglected and how can we dwell in broken infrastructure projects of the heart, body and city. An aesthetics of disappointment engaging with postwar modern and brutalist spaces in England and Europe, Stay Awhile is tender, funny and forthright in its demands for care."- TOM BRANFOOT This item is printed on demand.

paperback. Condición: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
