In this first full-length collection, Anna Mendelssohn continues her explorations of power, persecution and loss. Mendelssohn's work shows the intense relationship between agency and structure in the modern world. Her magical, weaving and at times painful lyric poetry draws us into an ecstatic vision of our own dependencies, dreams and desires.

Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009), who wrote under the name Grace Lake, was a British writer, poet and political activist. She came from a left-wing political family, was inspired by the Paris student risings in May 1968, and became a political radical in Britain. Mendelsohn was convicted of conspiracy to cause explosions as part of The Angry Brigade, a ruling she insisted was unjust. After her release she raised a family, resumed her education and devoted her life to art and to poetry. She grew somewhat isolated from the rest of society, but her friends saw to it that some of her work was published.

Paperback. Etat : New. In this landmark first full-length collection, Anna Mendelssohn emerges as one of the most singular and formidable voices of the late twentieth-century avant-garde. 'Implacable Art' is a work of restless transformation, where the poetic page becomes a site of intense resistance against the narrowing effects of modern power and state surveillance.The collection continues Mendelssohn's career-long exploration of persecution, loss, and the precarity of the individual. Her lyricism is both fiercely guarded and radically open, weaving esoteric wordplay and high-stakes linguistic play into a 'fugitive' poetics that refuses to be categorized. By treating words as magical objects capable of re-enchanting a world shaped by alienation, Mendelssohn challenges the reader to look beyond official language and accepted histories.Moving between 'explosive' political confrontation and the quiet, minor confusions of daily life, Implacable Art offers an ecstatic and at times painful vision of our shared dependencies and desires. It is a work of profound imaginative inventiveness - a testament to the necessity of art as a means of survival and a howl of defiance that remains as vital and audacious today as when it was first published.
