Ban en banlieue / Bhanu Kapil. by Rider, Bhanu Kapil. Nightboat Books, [2015] Call #: 811.6 R544b Subjects Riots -- India -- Poetry.   Race riots -- Poetry.   Nationalism -- Poetry.   Laments -- Poetry.   Performance poetry.   American poetry -- Women authors   American poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781937658243 (pbk.) 1937658244 (pbk.) Description:  109 pages : illustrations ; 19 cm Summary:  "Bhanu Kapil's Ban en Banlieue follows a brown (black) girl as she walks home from school in the first moments of a riot. An April night in London, in 1979, is the axis of this startling work of overlapping arcs and varying approaches. By the end of the night, Ban moves into an incarnate and untethered presence, becoming all matter-- soot, meat, diesel oil and force--as she loops the city with the energy of global weather. Derived from performances in India, England and throughout the U.S., Ban en Banlieue is written at the limit of somatic and civic aims. Kapil was born in England to Indian parents, and grew up in a working-class, South-Asian community in Greater London. She is the author of four full-length works of prose/poetry: The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers (2001), Incubation: a space of monsters (2006), humanimal : a project for future children (2009), and Schizophrene (2011). She also writes a blog, "Was Jack Kerouac A Punjabi? : a day in the life of a Naropa University Writing Professor," devoted to quotidian and hybrid behaviors of all kinds. She teaches in the Department of Writing and Poetics at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado."--Provided by publisher. Genre:  American poetry.
