Poetry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Love and Autonomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver: Talonbooks, 2016.
PS8635 .A336 F67 2016<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Anahita Jamali Rad\u2019s debut book of poetry juxtaposes Marxist economics with pop culture lyrics, from FKA Twigs to Sonic Youth, tangling the \u201cYou & I\u201d of relationships and social identification. She asks: How is it possible to communicate when the \u201cI\u201d speaks from the margins? Who is the \u201cI\u201d when Motown\u2019s doo-wop and post-punk\u2019s Telecaster jangles shake up the body\u2019s rhythm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamali Rad deals with the stuff of everyday life: work and sex, friendship and love. Her critical attention to the structure of these social relations creates a poetics of trial and failure, questioning the very \u201cculture\u201d responsible for its making as she forges a way for the possibility of radical resistance in language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Poetry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No Signal No Noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver: Talonbooks, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When Zero, the hero of our story, stumbles upon a mysterious manuscript, they\u2019re thrown into a journey across centuries, continents, and concepts. They travel throughout the Muslim world, from Sumeria to India to Baghdad. They learn about Europe as other and outside. They\u2019re guided by the cryptic mirror the manuscript provides as it traces a history of the number zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Jamali Rad\u2019s No Signal No Noise<\/em> is a playful poetic hybrid, sitting somewhere between philosophical treatise and experimental novel. No Signal No Noise<\/em> is the first installment in a series that traces the origin of the binary (self and other, good and evil, 0 and 1) in relation to technology, identity, representation, class, orientalism, and nationalism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Poetry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Still<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vancouver: Talonbooks, 2021.
PS8635.A336 S75 2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher’s Synopsis (From its website)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

still<\/em> interrogates alienated interiority. It begins with a body, with materiality that slowly morphs, extends, spills, and oozes. A self-withdrawn, hidden presence: silent inactivity, affective and extractive capitalism, surveillance and commodification of behaviour, non-participation, withdrawn complicity, non-subjectivity and refusing a gaze, paralysis in time of crisis \u2013 what non-doing undoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A powerful follow-up to Jamali Rad\u2019s for love and autonomy<\/em>, still<\/em> proposes an alternative to action, a way to be the wrench in the cogs of the machine, a way to jam the ignal by refusing receptivity. still disclaims language, writes without writing, divests in itself, s non-living and unlife. This book begins and ends in emptiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
