Foucault's Snails by Diana Medlicott
These poems deal with some ordinary and not so ordinary facets of a rich life, and they will appeal to those who enjoy words and value the ways in which they can help us to experience life with a greater intensity. Snails creep slowly from one place to another, leaving sticky trails which are very hard to wipe away. In the same way, words lay down a trail, and it's often only years later that we can make sense of the trail they have left. Michel Foucault was the writer who inspired the author to come to terms with the capacity of language to deceive as well as to define, instruct and enlighten, and so, in a way, this book is a tribute to him.
Diana Medlicott is the author of Surviving the Prison Place: Narratives of Suicidal Prisoners (Ashgate 2001), How to Design and Deliver Enhanced Modules: A Case Study Approach (McGraw Hill 2009), and numerous academic articles and book chapters on prisons, torture prevention and criminal justice, the latest of which is 'Death Row Inmates: Victims of Torture in the Land of the Free' in Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Torture edited by Lon Olson and Stuart Molloy (Brill Rodopi 2019). She is currently working on a novel.
