‘Night Poems’ and ‘Day Poems’ by Layli Long Soldier London Review Bookshop 2023-09-23 | A collaboration between Holt/Smithson Foundation and the London Review of Books, to publish the Foundation’s first poetry commission, by Layli Long Soldier (Oglala Lakota Nation).Layli Long Soldier was invited by the Foundation to create a poem about the weather, as a part of the World Weather Network, an ongoing initiative to which the LRB has also extensively contributed. Long Soldier’s companion series Night Poems and Day Poems reflect on the reciprocal relationship we humans have with the changing climate around us. The poems are published today, 23 September, in a continuous 12-hour livestreamed loop, commencing from 7:50 a.m. BST: the northern hemisphere’s autumn equinox, the moment when the days become shorter than the nights. In this collaboration, Long Soldier reads her poems alongside her rising and falling words mapping the transition between day and night, and light and shadow.Writing was an important part of both Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson’s artistic practices: Holt’s first artworks were concrete poems, and Smithson’s earliest writings included poetry. Holt/Smithson Foundation develops the creative legacies of Holt and Smithson, and artist’s writings are an important part of our programs.Long Soldier, like the Foundation, is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She holds a BFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts, an MFA from Bard College, and is a mentor in the MFA Creative Writing Program at the Institute of American Indian Arts. Her published works include Chromosomory (Q Ave Press, 2010) and Whereas (Graywolf, 2017), and her poems have appeared in POETRY Magazine, The New York Times, The American Poet, The American Reader, The Kenyon Review, BOMB and elsewhere. Long Soldier is the recipient of an NACF National Artist Fellowship, a Lannan Literary Fellowship, a Whiting Award, and was a finalist for the 2017 National Book Award. She has also received the 2018 PEN/Jean Stein Award, the 2018 National Book Critics Circle Award, a 2021 Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Literature, and the 2021 Michael Murphy Memorial Poetry Prize in the UK. This year her sculpture Day Poem: Sun Mirrors is on show at Tinworks Art in Bozeman, Montana.Long Soldier’s commission is part of the World Weather Network, a constellation of twenty-eight ‘weather stations’ located across the world in oceans, deserts, mountains, farmland, rainforests, observatories, lighthouses, and cities. In this ongoing project artists and writers share ‘weather reports’ in the form of observations, stories, images, and imaginings about their local weather and our shared climate, creating an archipelago of voices and viewpoints.

Nietzsche and the Turin horse, vaporised Turner, dolorous Dylan, antics on courts and at Burning Man, Dyer's Last Days had me laughing aloud, a sure signal of deft seriousness.

Rebecca Solnit and Mary Beard: Recollections of My Non-Existence London Review Bookshop 2021-05-05 | Beginning in San Francisco in 1981, the era of punk and nascent gay pride, Rebecca Solnit’s latest book 'Recollections of My Non-Existence' (Granta) is a powerful memoir of growing both as a woman and an artist, drawing on the powers of literature, activism and solidarity in the face of an apparently unbreachable patriarchy. The struggle to find a voice and to find a way to make that voice heard are brilliantly captured and dissected by one of feminism’s, and indeed the world’s, foremost thinkers. Rebecca Solnit talks about her life and work with historian Mary Beard, whose most recent book is 'Women & Power: A Manifesto'. Both of our speakers are regular contributors to the pages of the LRB.Buy the books here: londonreviewbookbox.co.uk/collections/rebecca-solnit-and-mary-beardRead Rebecca Solnit in the LRB: lrb.co.uk/contributors/rebecca-solnitRead Mary Beard in the LRB: lrb.co.uk/contributors/mary-beardABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOPLocated in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life.

She is currently awaiting trial in connection with her role in peaceful anti-corruption protests in Zimbabwe, charges which have led many prominent writers around the world to leap to her defence.Dangarembga was in conversation with Sara Collins, author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton, a gothic romance set in Georgian London which combines elements of Bildungsroman, crime fiction and slave narrative with a healthy dose of righteous anger.Buy books by Dangarembga and Collins from us here: londonreviewbookbox.co.uk/collections/tsitsi-dangarembga-and-sara-collinsABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOPLocated in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life.

Julia Ebner and Daniel Trilling: Going Dark: The Secret Social Lives of Extremists London Review Bookshop 2020-02-21 | By day, Julia Ebner works at a counter-extremism think tank, monitoring radical groups from the outside, but two years ago, she began to feel that she was only seeing half the picture. She needed to get inside the groups to truly understand them. So she decided to go undercover in her spare time - late nights, holidays, weekends - adopting five different identities, and joining a dozen extremist groups from across the ideological spectrum including White Supremacists, ISIS, German Neo-Nazis, ‘Trad Wives’ and ‘Jihadi Brides’. The results of her research are presented in 'Going Dark' (Bloomsbury), and give us a terrifying and essential insight into the mindset of extremism and the motives and strategies of its adherents.She was in conversation with Daniel Trilling, author of 'Bloody Nasty People' and' Lights in the Distance'.Recorded at the London Review Bookshop on 19 February 2020.ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW BOOKSHOPLocated in the heart of Bloomsbury, just a Rosetta Stone’s throw from the British Museum, the London Review Bookshop has established itself as an essential part of the capital’s cultural life.
