Patel's book is sold as poetry, but I'm told better to think of it as performance or a lost narrative, a song of political exploitation and erasure. Will do!

I am now 42 books into the year, and I am starting this one next. It has languished on the teetering tower that is my to be read pile for a few years now, but I always feel a level of trepidation when it comes to reading autobiographies: the author could turn out to be a self-centred egotist blowing their own trumpet or a boring fart with nothing of any actual substance to say. That said, I’m pretty sure that neither of those will turn out to be true for this particular hero of mine!

Brilliant scholar Shor's classic on teaching for social justice, part of my research into my next book, and a great accompaniment to Freire, hooks, and others.

A wonderful collection from Wayne State University Press which reveals how the very form/structure of our prose speaks to the status quo. A push into the interlacing of imagination and politics.
