Synopsis

Life in Transit searches for the public in a world that is increasingly privatised, both in terms of the 'chartered' space of corporate land grabs, but also the detachment of the individual in the late capitalist experience. Sam Berkson's collection focuses on the journey, rather than the destination.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Raised in the London commuter belt towards the end of Margaret Thatcher's first term as Prime Minister, Sam Berkson nevertheless took an English degree at Oxford University. He tried to make amends by working for seven years in secondary schools in Brighton, Liverpool and London. His first ever poem was a punk piece of visceral disrespect composed upon hearing of the death of Linda McCartney and his first proper gig ended in a fight. Continuing from there he has been performing in UK and abroad regularly since 2002, often under the moniker of 'Angry Sam'. He has featured at festivals including Latitude, Hay-on-Wye and Bestival, been a visiting poet at KaosPilots international school, Denmark; Grant MacEwan University, Canada; and at the Landmine Victims' Centre, Algeria. He hosts live slam nights for Hammer & Tongue and the Re:Versed show on NTS radio
