Description
Book Synopsisbetween wind and water, is to be in a vulnerable place, the place where people and planet are. When industrial wind arrives in the neighbourhood, some locals find that living with their new neighbour has brought a whirlwind of troubles. Their health and that of the community take a nosedive. Their complaints are filed into obscurity, their stories dismissed and their voices disparaged. What sort of world do we want? We ask how can we have a better world if people and planet are not equally respected? These poems speak the stories of people who have been denied a voice.
Trade ReviewRejoice! berni janssens new book! This book is easy to love: its rugged, soft, deft,exact forms. Action is embedded in things; politics is stitched into the wind. Set againstthe bamboozle clatter of corpspeak and co-option. Its a beautifully grounded book and itsgoing to make trouble. Chris Mansell, Poet and Publisher
