Historical

In 2015, Welsh poet RJ Arkhipov gained international acclaim when he penned a series of poems using his own blood as ink in protest of the blood donor ban on men who have sex with men. 
Five years on, in the midst of a pandemic, governments across the United Kingdom announced the discriminatory policy would finally be lifted. To commemorate the occasion, Zuleika is republishing Arkhipov’s 'blood poems’ in a new paperback edition with illustrations by French artist Fabien Ghernati. 
Imagined as a living, breathing, pulsing body of work through which the poetry of blood courses, Visceral is an exploration of our life essence. With his constrained and concrete poems, Arkhipov invites the reader to pause and ponder the many meanings of blood through the lenses of abjection, ancestry, faith, intimacy, mortality, and stigma. 
The diversity of the book’s thematic organs stands as testament to the omnipresent beat of blood in our languages and cultures. Arkhipov's evocation of the LGBT experience, in particular, highlights the intersection of blood with sex, love, and shame in the LGBT community.

'a bitter-sweet account of five decades not just of loss and recovery but of resilience...peppered with reminiscences and anecdotes of worlds now vanished’. LIBYA HERALD\n'A book about lost lands, lost worlds... it leaves us nostalgic; but also full of hope.' TIM MACKINTOSH-SMITH, Author of Arabs: A 3,000 Year History of Peoples, Tribes and Empires\n'The most striking features of this memoir are its love of family and astonishing lack of bitterness.' XAN SMILEY of The Economist\n'A story of exile and loss, of longing and melancholy.' JANINE DI GIOVANNI, author of The Morning They Came for Us: Dispatches from Syria\na charming and entertaining account of a family uprooted and in search of a new home. The lack of bitterness is astonishing. That he should pull it off with this level of stoicism, wit and grace makes him a worthy companion and his remarkable journey a story worth telling' The London Magazine\n***\nBlack swans - unforeseen events with extreme consequences - have formed the backdrop of the Dajani family's history for almost a century. 
In From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea Adel A. Dajani, one of the first Arabs to ever go to Eton, takes us on a journey from the royal palaces of Libya where he was raised, rubbing shoulders with monarchs and presidents, to the prisons of Gaddafi where his father was a political prisoner after the deposition of the monarchy in 1969. 
Dajani recounts his experiences of enshrined cultural ignorance about the Middle East and North Africa with humour and candour as he trades the playing fields of Tripoli College for those of Eton College. His journey takes us into his family history, to the Old City of Jerusalem and the orange groves of Jaffa, to the spires of Oxbridge in the 1930s and to post war London in the 1950s. We are given unique eye witness perspectives of a world in endless transition, including invaluable accounts of the Arab Spring Revolutions in Tunisia and Libya and their life-changing impact on Dajani and his young family. 
Replete with vivid and memorable anecdotes, From Jerusalem to a Kingdom by the Sea is a humorous and compellingly narrated story of a generational voyage through the icebergs of international political upheavals. The reader accompanies Dajani on this voyage, buoyed by his universal themes of family, love, loss, identity and, ultimately, the triumph of the human experience in the face of adversity and displacement.

THE NEW CRITERION\n*** 
Follies: An Architectural Journey is an illustrated travel account of Rory Fraser's journey painting England's follies the summer after leaving university. 
From towering monastic ruins to the modern 'man cave', Fraser introduces us to an architectural cabinet of curios including treasonous renaissance symbols, lavish banqueting houses, temples to lost loves, Chinese pagodas, nuclear bunkers and the 'Taj Mahal of Gloucestershire'. The characters behind these buildings jostle across the pages: medieval visionaries, gunpowder plotters, The Rolling Stones and The Hellfire Club, as well as designers Wren, Vanbrugh, Kent, 'Capability' Brown and Repton - and their often zany patrons. 
Fraser's philosophy is that follies, though often marginalised, serve as focal points for architecture, landscape and literature. As such, they create a series of portals through which to understand the periods in which they were built, providing an alternative lens through which to track and celebrate the English character, culture and love of individualism. 
Fraser's exquisite sketches, both visual and verbal, seek not only to record these hidden wonders, but treasure them, bringing them to life
