This pattern of state-sanctioned violence committed towards communities of colour continues to the present day. \u003cem\u003eBorderland Apocrypha\u003c\/em\u003e centers around the collective histories of these terrors, excavating the traumas born of turbulence at borderlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this debut collection, Anthony Cody responds to the destabilised, hostile landscapes and silenced histories of borderlands. His experimental poetic reinvents itself and shapeshifts in both form and space across the margin, the page, and the book in forms of resistance, signalling a reclamation and a re-occupation of what has been omitted. The poems ask the reader to engage in searching through the nested and cascading series of poems centred around familial and communal histories, structural racism, and natural ecosystems of borderlands. Relentless in its explorations, this collection shows how the past continues to inform actions, policies, and perceptions in North and Central America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a proposal for re-imagining the US\/Mexico border, Cody’s collection is an avant-garde examination of how borderlands have remained occupied spaces, and of the necessity of liberation to usher the earth and its people toward healing. Part auto-historia, part docu-poetic, part visual monument, part myth-making, \u003cem\u003eBorderland Apocrypha\u003c\/em\u003e unearths history in order to work toward survival, reckoning, and the building of a future that both acknowledges and moves on from tragedies of the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBorderland Apocrypha\u003c\/em\u003e won Omnidawn's 2018 1st\/2nd Book Prize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460513743084,"sku":"9781632430762","price":33.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781632430762-borderland-apocrypha.jpg?v=1774947476"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/cody-cody.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
