Patrick Woodcock has spent the past seven years engaging with and being shaped by the people, politics, and landscapes of the Kurdish north of Iraq, Fort Good Hope in the Northwest Territories, and Azerbaijan. His powerful new collection offers a poetry that simultaneously explores hope and horror while documenting the transformative processes of coping. You can't bury them all follows the narratives we construct to survive the tragic failures of our humanity to their very end: everything that's buried by snow, dirt, and ash, just like everything that's buried by politics, homophobia, sexism, racism, religion, and history is resurrected, demanding to be heard and addressed. In Woodcock's poe...
Die achte Ausgabe der Zeitschrift "offenes feld" mit Beiträgen von Arnold Maxwill, Ralf Thenior, Lia Sturua, Bianca Boer, Angelica Seithe, Jürgen Jonas Rauscher, Johannes Witek, Rainer Komers, Bianca Döring, Ursula Maria Wartmann und Arne Rautenberg.
Mit neugierig zugewandter Aufmerksamkeit erkundet der Dichter Ralf Thenior osteuropäische Landschaften. Begegnungen, Orte, Persönlichkeiten bilden das Material der sarmatischen Eskapaden. In Geschichten und Begebenheiten zeigen sich andere Weltsichten und Wertesysteme, das Hörensagen spielt eine bedeutende Rolle, sprachliche Delirien irrlichtern durchs Bewusstsein und immer wieder tauchen unverhofft momentweise Sehnsuchtsorte auf.

This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. This volume comprises numerous academic papers concerning essential subjects in relation to fear, horror and terror, from cinematic representations and their subsequent responses, to first person accounts of terror by way of literature and journalism. Key scholars are employed to develop these important research areas as they provide new insights into cultural experiences and evaluations of fear, horror and terror, and their consequent analysis. Contributors also explore cross-cultural fear, the memorialisation of violence, and female experiences of fear represented through literature, theatre, and cinema. Valuable research is also demonstrated by way of the conceptualisation and management of fear, including the control of public fear in relation to mental illness, along with significant insights concerning depictions of sexual violence, the concept of the sublime in relation to the visualisation of the universe, and the relationship between scales of fright and the bulk of the on-screen monster.

This anthology, the fourteenth volume in the present series, brings us the work of six leading poets in what has been dubbed 'the Gagarin Generation'. Yuri Gagarin, the first astronaut, was an international celebrity and a hero of the Soviet Bloc. His space journey was subversively interpreted by some as a daring breakout towards freedom. The generation of people born into a transitional era of growing resistance to the strictures of Soviet rule, a generation that challenged entrenched conformity of thought and action, is represented here by a diverse set of voices, each of which speaks out of an experience both personal and collective, giving us a rare insight into a rich cultural and literary heritage that still awaits full discovery in English.
