In ancient Roman times rituals were performed to sanctify the ground on which new cities were founded. With this invocation, space could then be occupied. In this brilliant new collection, Alice Major’s poems concern themselves with human occupation: how we occupy cities; how we occupy ourselves as citizens, workers and thinkers; how we occupy mythologies and metaphors; and how we occupy the passage of our lives.
Part I: Contemplating the City; Part II: A Book of Days; Part III: Kore; Part IV: Kinderszenen; Part V: Messages from Planet E; Part VI: Root Zones.
