Opis
When the trees came down no one knew how / to interpret the light. homeless / it bounces off glass surfaces / pierces the wandering eye -
These poems walk streets and take snapshots of the impact financialization of our homes has on our sense of community and belonging.
Meandering through physical and philosophical materials - cement, memory, water, narrative, history, sand, light, concrete, and others' - voices - Daniela Elza documents this urgent moment. The reader winds through fragments amidst urban fragmentation. A sequence of triptych poems hearkens to silos, skyscrapers, and streets. Readers here have a choice: they can read across the page or down. She channels Syrian architect Marwa Al-Sabouni, who says, "The fabric of our cities is reflected in the fabric of our souls.' SCAR/CITY emerges from the Vancouver context to take on global issues of predatory finance and a market that mines homes for profit. It steps outside of binary conversations in favour of poetic reflection and interrogates a system that results in perceptible depravity and scarcity, which leaves us homeless, metaphorically and literally.
French philosopher Gaston Bachelard says, "The space we love is unwilling to remain permanently enclosed … Space calls for action, and before action, the imagination is at work.' Amidst negotiations and advocacy in the fight for security of tenure and lease renewal, SCAR/CITY is a poetic call to action.
