Poetry is not, as Adorno claimed, impossible after Auschwitz, any more than it is impossible after the Soviet Union or the present drowning of the planet in commodified junk, but the contrary: such catastrophes make language possible in its critical poetic aspect.- Louis Armand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book Nina Zivancevic is a stand-up poet in the true tradition of the great stand-up comedians, like Lenny Bruce, for instance, like Groucho Marx. But she's more than that! When Nina Zivancevic's says in her poem, Active Artists Reforming Action, \"No, I'm not an Anarchist\/My grandfather did it for me...,\" then you're really in the presence of someone whose every poem is an assault on the senses, a bullet to your ears.\"- Gerard Malanga\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis transnational writer reflects on her current life in Paris, France and the situation with migrants, her past in Belgrade, Yugoslavia and its civil war, as well as New York, US and its problems with gentrification. But she also speaks regarding other current or past events, like the civil war in Syria, and Afghanistan. We delight in her reflections on ancient Greece; philosophers like Nietzsche, Freud, Hannah Arendt and Zizek; painters and composers like Chagall, Chopin, and Liszt; and even drug lord, El Chapo Guzman.\"- Biljana D. Obradovic, Xavier University of Louisiana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs usual, Nina Zivancevic's poems do a bunch of things I've been trying to figure out for years. She is basically the master mathematician of ideas translated into poetry.- Malik Ameer Crumpler, author of \u003cem\u003eBeneath the Underground, Collected Raps\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47942718783709,"sku":"9781887276405","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/hBKccoQWMq9781887276405.webp?v=1779259950","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/roller-skating-notes-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
