At the Edge of Everything

<p><strong>A collection of poems spanning six decades of life love loss and rebellion amidst the planetary transformations of the working class and capital from the acclaimed Marxist philosopher and writer George Caffentzis.</strong></p><p></p><p>I have never considered myself a poet yet from my adolescence poetry has been a constant company in my life. Only recently however I have begun to collect poems that I had scattered through notebooks back-pages of articles and other occasional spaces. The desire to see them as one work is partly stimulated by the recognition of recurring themes at times in syntony with those inspiring my political writings. Among them are the memories and the nostalgia for the Greek world of my childhood my grandmother's house facing the Taygetus mountain the pleasures and troubles of love and political organizing and with the passing of years the mourning of dead friends and comrades and above all the never-ending pleasure of playing with words. This book collects some of the poems that have accompanied this journey. -George Caffentzis from the Introduction </p>
