Maurice Blanchot and the Aesthetics of Hope and Chance

What can Maurice Blanchot—renowned for his reflections on death and literature—teach us about creativity? According to Adam Potts, the answer is: a lot. Blanchot and the Aesthetics of Hope and Chance brings two often-overlooked yet deeply interwoven ideas—hope and chance—into sharp focus within Blanchot’s thought, offering a fresh perspective on creativity and improvisation. Through a series of encounters with other thinkers and creative practitioners who grapple with these concepts, each chapter serves as a case study in approaching hope and chance. Figures such as Georges Bataille, John Cage, Robin Kelley, Gabriel Marcel, Ernst Bloch, Yves Bonnefoy, and André Breton emerge as Blanchot’s intellectual and spiritual interlocutors - each pursuing experimental modes of thought and feeling that resist cultural constraints and defy easy conceptualisation. If this “outside” space represents Blanchot’s refuge from the reductive tendencies of human culture, then chance becomes the method by which he - and these kindred spirits - access it. The book’s final section turns to improvisation, spotlighting the dance praxis of Léa Tirabasso as a vivid example of hope and chance functioning as optimistic, transcendent tools for creative practice.

The selections represent many generations of poets, from Veronica Micle and Matilda Cugler-Poni in the nineteenth century, to Magda Isanos and the interwar poets, to such important contemporary poets as Ana Blandiana and Daniela Crasnaru, and younger poets, such as Carmen Firan and Carmen Veronica Steiciuc
Nobody knows us. They think they do. But they don’t.In a world of champagne and canapés, the five Colby sisters are the glamorous faces of New York high society. With wealth, style and desirable husbands, they appear to have it all. But privately, the sisters' squabbles distort the picture of this perfect family. Image is everything and struggling to maintain it could have life-changing consequences.This black comedy by OBIE award-winning Canadian playwright Adam Bock received its world premiere at the Tricycle Theatre, London, on 19 June 2014.
Brings together selections of ten outstanding South African poets, to show, in writing drawn from more than four decades, from very different cultures and traditions, a vital and diverse literature. Representing a vision of a pluralistic Africanism the anthology takes the poetry of the region away from the dichotomy which apartheid promoted.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE. A sweet and subversive coming-of-age novel by award-winning memoirist and screenwriter Ariel Schrag.When Adam Freedman—a skinny, awkward, inexperienced teenager from Piedmont, California—goes to stay with his older sister Casey in New York City, he is hopeful that his life is about to change. And it sure does.It is the summer of 2006. Gay marriage and transgender rights are in the air, and Casey has thrust herself into a wild lesbian subculture. Soon Adam is tagging along to underground clubs, where there are hot older women everywhere he turns. It takes some time for him to realize that many in this new crowd assume he is trans—a boy who was born a girl. Why else would this baby-faced guy always be aroundThen Adam meets Gillian, the girl of his dreams—but she couldn’t possibly be interested in him. Unless passing as a trans guy might actually work in his favor . . .Ariel Schrag’s scathingly funny and poignant debut novel puts a fresh spin on questions of love, attraction, self-definition, and what it takes to be at home in your own skin.“An insightful, funny, and unexpected love story.”—Aimee Mann"[An] audacious coming-of-age novel.”—Miami Herald "Compulsively readable."—Bookforum "Hilarious...Schrag's riotous, poignant debut novel will leave you reeling."—SF Weekly
SHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK POETRY PRIZELONGLISTED FOR THE JOHN POLLARD FOUNDATION INTERNATIONAL POETRY PRIZEThe debut collection of poetry by Gboyega Odubanjo.'On 21 September 2001, the torso of a black boy was discovered in the River Thames, near Tower Bridge in central London, clothed only in an orange pair of girls' shorts. Given the name "Adam" by police officers, the unidentified boy was between four and eight years old. What comes next cannot without a story of water and offering. The sun shines and we gather because the river allows it. Na from clap dem dey enter dance. We enter with, and as, Adam.' - Gboyega OdubanjoHaunted by the discovery of the remains of a young Black boy in the River Thames in London, 2001, Gboyega Odubanjo's Adam builds from the Genesis myth and from Yoruba culture to examine with an unflinching eye the disappearance of a child and its implication for all Black lives, and for the society in which we live.Gboyega Odubanjo (1996-2023) was born and raised in East London. He is the author of three poetry pamphlets: While I Yet Live (Bad Betty Press), Two stops short of Barking (The Alternative School of Economics) and Aunty Uncle Poems (The Poetry Business/New Poets List), winner of the Michael Marks Poetry Award and an Eric Gregory Award. A Barbican Young Poet alumnus, Odubanjo was an editor at bath magg journal and Bad Betty Press, co-chair of Magma and a member of the Roundhouse Poetry Collective, after which he later became a Roundhouse Resident Artist. He was a creative-writing tutor on the Creative Future IMPART programme, supporting writers from underrepresented backgrounds. His UK garage single 'LDN GRLS' with Love Remain is out with the Sony Music UK label Black Butter Records. The Gboyega Odubanjo Foundation for low-income Black writers was established in 2023 to honour his legacy. Adam, published posthumously in 2024, is his debut poetry collection.'What a voice he has - fresh, worn, elegiac, present. If ever a volume offered a story about water, loss, migration and every last one of us, Adam does.' Andrew O'Hagan, Observer'Here is a heavy, mystical, humorous and lyrical Black British voice that will live forever.' Raymond Antrobus'Adam is a watery chorus, spirited and kinetic. These poems crackle with love and risk . . . Odubanjo was a singular voice in British poetry, one which will endure.' Momtaza Mehri'With Adam, it feels like Gboyega Odubanjo excavates traditions to create a new world with a language and texture completely of its own.' Tife Kusoro'Adam is an anticipated debut, from a poet rooted in community. A poet whose name and charm will continue to live in our hearts and minds for generations.' Yomi Sode'An extraordinary and arresting book.' Kate Kellaway, Observer'A monumental polyphonic odyssey . . . Reading this collection is an experience of exquisite heartbreak.' Oluwaseun Olayiwola, Guardian'Odubanjo's art was - and is, in the never-ending presentness of his book - an art of the impossibly perfected everyday . . . Adam grants its readers extraordinary perceptions throughout - it's a light, keeping visible a story too likely to fade from view, and making more visible a poet who must be read.' Shane McCrae, Daily Telegraph'Gboyega Odubanjo's posthumous debut, Adam (Faber), took the story of the torso of a Black boy found in the Thames in 2001 and explored its symbolism for the poet's youth in a London where "the streets are paved with cousins". It's a profound loss that his first book is also his last.' Jeremy Noel-Tod, TLS Books of the Year 2024 'Odubanjo's Adam (Faber, £12.99) - a many-voiced, richly imaginative response to the death of a Nigerian boy whose body was found in the Thames in 2006 - is almost certain to make this much-missed poet the first posthumous winner of a TS Eliot Prize since Ted Hughes.' Telegraph, Best Poetry of 2024 'Flowing between different voices - news reports, myth, London dialect - Gboyega memorialises an anonymous boy's death, and offers a conflicted love-letter to the capital. TFS' Telegraph, 'The 50 Best Books of 2024 - ranked''Blending English, Pidgin and Yoruba, Odubanjo's language is by turns laser sharp, expansive and indelible: "there is nothing left to dig a grave / wait and enjoy life / wait and bury me / your touch is life / your gapped teeth please me / the story is yours". Finishing the book leaves you mesmerised, and keening for what would have come next.' Rishi Dastidar, Guardian Best Poetry Books of 2024
