These issues are examined through the themes of home and family, neighbourhoods and city spaces and allow the reader to engage with migrants' diverse practices which are specifically local, yet spatially global. This book breaks new ground by arguing for a spatial understanding of translocality that situates the migrant experience within\/across particular 'locales' without confining it to the territorial boundedness of the nation state. It will be of interest to academics and students of social and cultural geography, anthropology and transnational studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50045109207313,"sku":"GOR005854620","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50918296191249,"sku":"CIN0226041417VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51804022866193,"sku":"CIN0226041417G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0226041417.jpg?v=1750940699"},{"product_id":"eight-contemporary-poets-book-calvin-bedient-9780192118240","title":"Eight Contemporary Poets","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50133207384337,"sku":"GOR007851331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0192118242.jpg?v=1750908215"},{"product_id":"violence-of-the-morning-book-cal-bedient-9780820323909","title":"The Violence of the Morning","description":"This innovative new collection of poems by Cal Bedient is Nabokovian in its artifice, its fluency, and its scope--from Kant to Jaqueline Du Pres's Elgar, from Mother Goose to the Upanishads, from poems after the paintings of Corot, Monet, Matisse, and Klee to extended inquiries into the complexities of sexual and other relationships. The poems take up the task of asking what joy is available in the dark and terrifying waves of disease, broken love, and death. The persona voicings are varied, odd, and memorable; and the poems vary widely in their feel, their rhythm, their typology. Everywhere the language is outrageously wet and vivid--sliced orange language. Though the poems often take the form of couplets, quatrains, or some other repeatable structure, the results are daringly unexpected, irrational, compelling, astonishingly beautiful, and moving.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50371048702225,"sku":"CIN082032390XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008605159697,"sku":"NIN9780820323909","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51332546756881,"sku":"CIN082032390XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52476052734225,"sku":"NLS9780820323909","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/082032390X.jpg?v=1750849890"},{"product_id":"multiple-book-calvin-bedient-9781890650667","title":"The Multiple","description":"Calvin Bedient's fourth collection, The Multiple, meets an unspeakably excessive reality with an unremitting intensity of its own. The \"multiple\" in question is the imbroglio of entwinements and failed copulas within us and all around us, the reality underlying and giving the lie to our stereotypes. Dazzlingly resourceful-witty, multi-tonal, musical, propositional, painterly-the poems thump the increasingly empty box of cultural goods, an inheritance that isn't really ours. We are left with a naked need for creativity in a cosmos whose gift of time is a gift of chaos. If in a universe that is \"not-one . . . the rhapsodic is the avenue to the truth,\" as Alain Badiou says, the quality of the rhapsodic in The Multiple is as cacophonous and unforgiving as it is lyrical and hooked. The truth is extreme, this aggressively uncensored book says, as it battles to give equal power to a savage voice and a soaring voice. Strong in their invisible architecture, these are poems of wild openness and sheer aliveness.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50403489218833,"sku":"CIN1890650668G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1890650668.jpg?v=1751347053"},{"product_id":"in-the-heart-s-last-kingdom-book-calvin-bedient-9781583484159","title":"In the Heart's Last Kingdom","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52085352104209,"sku":"GOR014483953","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781583484159.jpg?v=1756822167"},{"product_id":"yeats-brothers-and-modernism-s-love-of-motion-book-calvin-bedient-9780268022068","title":"Yeats Brothers and Modernism's Love of Motion","description":"In The Yeats Brothers, Calvin Bedient delivers a brilliant exploration of modernism through the mutual illumination provided by Ireland's greatest poet and greatest painter. By examining the poems of the one and the paintings of the other, he recovers an often overlooked quality both artists embraced in their work--that core feature of modernism, a thoroughgoing preoccupation with motion and fluidity, that terrifying encounter with the universe conceptualized as force.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52594808324369,"sku":"NLS9780268022068","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53155894788369,"sku":"CIN0268022062G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780268022068.jpg?v=1761389723"},{"product_id":"in-the-heart-s-last-kingdom-book-calvin-bedient-9780674733121","title":"In the Heart's Last Kingdom","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53007009513745,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53007010070801,"sku":"NLS9780674733121","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780674733121.jpg?v=1767899303"},{"product_id":"architects-of-the-self-book-calvin-bedient-9780520347212","title":"Architects of the Self","description":"This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Lawrence, and E.M. Forster uniquely probe the evolving nature of selfhood, each contributing to a broader dialogue on what it means to be fully human. Eliot embodies the Victorian commitment to duty and moral conscience, where restraint and selflessness form the highest ideals. In stark contrast, Lawrence celebrates instinctual vitality, emphasizing the authenticity found in embracing bodily desires as a form of spiritual truth. Forster, positioned between these two extremes, advocates a balanced integration of mind and flesh, famously urging that we \"only connect.\" Together, these writers represent key perspectives in a shifting era where traditional Christian values gave way to modern self-assertion, reflecting a spectrum of approaches to identity amid the disintegration of Victorian norms.   These authors capture the post-Christian struggle to redefine human ideals, resonating with Nietzsche's individualism and pushing back against Victorian rigidity. Eliot, Lawrence, and Forster each envision a path toward wholeness that reflects the era’s rethinking of moral and social values. Eliot’s structured conscience, Lawrence’s fervent embrace of natural vitality, and Forster’s pursuit of harmonious connection reveal the tensions of the human experience—between duty and desire, spiritual and physical, selflessness and fulfillment. In their distinct yet complementary ways, they mark a cultural and literary transition, showing the self as a complex site of conflict and potential, redefining what it means to live fully and meaningfully in a rapidly changing world.
