About this product
Product Information
*Shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2023 ** Anita Pati's debut collection, *Hiding to Nothing , explores the destabilising effects of violence, particularly empire's aftermath, on a psyche. Threaded with internal dialogue, this multi-layered work witnesses how unbelonging can unsettle perceptions of the brown female body within an unwelcoming, even hostile, environment. From 'exotic' dodos punished for not being doves to Greenface, on whom blonde girls birth natterjack toads, marginal presences tell their stories. Hiding to Nothing suggests that complex and damaging legacies in all their forms can create shockwaves that reverberate over a lifetime, stopping lives from reaching their full potential. And the trauma experienced through centuries of colonial history continues to be embodied and enacted. These perceptions of body-image and self-worth are picked up in the central documentary sequence, Bloodfruit , which is based on interviews with women. Bloodfruit gives voice to the less heard narratives of infertility and difficult trajectories towards becoming, or not becoming, a 'mother'. Here, the often-fraught notions of womanhood and motherhood are also shown to feed into ideas on who is able to mother. Pati uses an original, lyrical approach towards the ambiguities and ambivalences that cloud our decisions. Ultimately, ambient aggressions towards our own and other bodies can only be made good by breaking the cycle. Pati unravels compacted pain but those looking for easy answers or redemption will find no compromise here.

Reviews
"This lyrical first collection explores ideas around self-worth and unbelonging in dazzling brave and powerful poems using a multitude of innovative and exciting forms." Mary Mulholland, The Alchemy Spoon "Startling, visceral lines ... with an energy that often eludes British poetry." April Yee, The Poetry Review "The humour and wit in Anita Pati's Hiding to Nothing could cauterise any wound." Suna Afshan, Wasafiri "We can't doubt Pati's strong empathy, including her sense of the sheer longevity of painful experience... Pati is in many ways a relentless writer... detailed context, close analysis and skilful poetic technique enable us to understand the precise nature of a specific form of cruelty." Dilys Wood, ARTEMISpoetry "Hiding to Nothing bangs the door open and enters with a shout. The panic throughout this magnificent debut collection is palpable... This is a brilliant and inventive collection - one I will definitely keep coming back to. The playfulness with form and different degrees of faintness of text all work really well and enhance the poems meaning." Julia Webb, Under the Radar, 'We can't doubt Pati's strong empathy, including her sense of the sheer longevity of painful experience... Pati is in many ways a relentless writer... detailed context, close analysis and skilful poetic technique enable us to understand the precise nature of a specific form of cruelty.' Dilys Wood, ARTEMISpoetry, 'Anita Pati's work will resonate with anyone who has personal experience of a difficult journey to parenthood. She manages to encapsulate the pain of infertility, loss and prematurity. Pati lays bare the intensity of the emotions involved, the damage to self-esteem and the complexities of the relationship with our bodies. Her poetry is both beautiful and haunting.' Kate Brian, Fertility Network UK and Journalist and Author, 'Hiding to Nothing bangs the door open and enters with a shout. The panic throughout this magnificent debut collection is palpable... This is a brilliant and inventive collection - one I will definitely keep coming back to. The playfulness with form and different degrees of faintness of text all work really well and enhance the poems meaning.' Julia Webb, Under the Radar, 'Pati's excoriating debut collection is one of painful yet necessary release: "my chest frays open, / bivalved wires spitting, bloodish". These vivid poems explore suppression and silencing - the violence of empire, the toxicity of whiteness, the pressures placed upon the female body. [...] These confronting, polyvocal dialogues ring with the energy of long-held suffering, finally released into a shared language. [...] This visceral, affecting and politically astute collection announces a courageous new voice in British poetry.' Rebecca Tamás, The Guardian, 'Despite the gravity of its subject matter, Hiding to Nothing is a collection of wit, playfulness and a wonderfully slippery syntax which says one thing and suggests much else. With its linguistic density and intertextuality, play and soundplay, I have read nothing like it - a book of beautifully controlled defiance.' Sasha Dugdale, 'If the body of a woman could speak, this is the poetry it would write. Raw and filled to the brim with grief, anger, beauty, rage, terror, longing, love and blood. Anita Pati's body of poetry is poetry of the body, and it stinks of the truth.' Jody Day, Psychotherapist, author & founder of Gateway Women, "This lyrical first collection explores ideas around self-worth and unbelonging in dazzling brave and powerful poems using a multitude of innovative and exciting forms." Mary Mulholland, The Alchemy Spoon "Startling, visceral lines ... with an energy that often eludes British poetry." April Yee, The Poetry Review "The humour and wit in Anita Pati's Hiding to Nothing could cauterise any wound." Suna Afshan, Wasafiri "We can't doubt Pati's strong empathy, including her sense of the sheer longevity of painful experience... Pati is in many ways a relentless writer... detailed context, close analysis and skilful poetic technique enable us to understand the precise nature of a specific form of cruelty." Dilys Wood, ARTEMISpoetry"Hiding to Nothing bangs the door open and enters with a shout. The panic throughout this magnificent debut collection is palpable... This is a brilliant and inventive collection - one I will definitely keep coming back to. The playfulness with form and different degrees of faintness of text all work really well and enhance the poems meaning." Julia Webb, Under the Radar, 'Anita Pati's Hiding to Nothing [from] Pavilion Poetry is unforgettable, giving voice to silences of many kinds, esp[ecially] those persisting around infertility. Her poems are compelling, fierce, playful & her approach always unexpected.' - Fiona Larkin, "This lyrical first collection explores ideas around self-worth and unbelonging in dazzling brave and powerful poems using a multitude of innovative and exciting forms." Mary Mulholland, The Alchemy Spoon "Startling, visceral lines ... with an energy that often eludes British poetry." April Yee, The Poetry Review, "This lyrical first collection explores ideas around self-worth and unbelonging in dazzling brave and powerful poems using a multitude of innovative and exciting forms." Mary Mulholland, The Alchemy Spoon, 'Vivid, polyvocal and excoriating, Pati's poems find an exquisite musicality and a deep sorcery of imagery and momentum. Hiding to Nothing is a humane, fierce, original and uncompromising debut from a major new voice in British poetry.' Fiona Benson, 'The humour and wit in Anita Pati's Hiding to Nothing could cauterise any wound' Suna Afshan, Wasafiri

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
